I always go to my PC to finish notes as the interface is far easier and quicker in which to format notes and make them look good. Making notes during a meeting on an iPad, then editing and completing them on your PC browser straight afterwards.Synced content makes Evernote really useful for: All points of access are fully synced, meaning you can access the exact same content immediately from anywhere – simply by refreshing/syncing within the app. It sounds simple but the ability to access anything from any device is so powerful.Īdd the App to your iPad, add it to your Android phone, plus also to both your work and home PC browsers. Evernote offers Basic, Plus, Premium and Business levels – go here to register and create an account.Hopefully this will give you a few ideas to improve the way you organise your own wealth of information!
I just wanted to go through and outline a few real life uses and how I use them to help organise my own time and work. You can read the Evernote website for a full list of all the features. I use it every day now for a variety of things. There’s loads of great features which together add loads of value. It’s really helped organise both my work life and personal life. So I started trialling the free version in early 2015 and moved over to the premium version later that summer. It’s a tool which over the years I’d always heard great reviews about but never properly tried until recently.
However none of these have been quite as useful as Evernote, and the purpose of this post is to explain why! EvernoteĪ key tool which I have fallen into using heavily over the last year is the brilliant Evernote.
Outlook Tasks are also wonderful to use and invaluable to remember things, highlight key emails and more. That way I ensure the most important tasks get the most attention etc. Such ‘collection’ buckets’ as he calls them, include calendars, lists, notebooks and other storage – the key idea being these should be easily accessible anywhere you go and should be used frequently to de-clutter your mind and to organise your time more productively and focus on key tasks.įortunately all the ideas he describes I pretty much already do. I’ve always used my calendar to book future time out and section-off set periods to focus on key tasks. That’s why we should bundle all important information in a reliable productivity system outside our own heads. One of the main concepts of the book is that in order to devote ourselves fully to our tasks, our minds need space. Via a brilliant app called Blinkist, I’ve just read ‘Getting Things Done’ by David Allen – a key business title outlining ‘proven principles’ for good personal organisation, on approaching professional and personal tasks and getting control and focus.
