I then toss the paper into the recycling bin. If I determine that I need to save a copy of the letter, invoice, invitation, etc., I scan it directly into Evernote with my ScanSnap scanner. While I have gone paperless in my office, not everyone else in the world has. I often add additional comments to the note and tag it. You can forward any email to your unique Evernote address, and it will show up in your default notebook a few seconds later. I find this particularly helpful for brainstorming, taking meeting notes (especially on the iPad), outlining a speech, or even-as I am doing now-writing a blog post.

Now, after several months of really exploring the program, I have discovered ten different tools for getting my content into Evernote: I personally used it for two years for little more than typing meeting notes into it. The program is so deep and feature-rich that new users hardly know where to start. It has enabled me to realize my dream of a paperless office.īut Evernote can also be initially intimidating.
I use it probably more than any other program other than Mac Mail. It is one of those amazing tools that can radically boost your productivity.

It is no secret that I am a big fan of Evernote.
