HOWTO: Get Things Done with Evernote
Scan or take pictures of your kids drawings or school assignments to have a digital scrapbook of all of their accomplishments.
Teachers: Organize your lesson plans in Evernote.
You can put all your notes, outlines, activities, research, etc in Evernote and have it searchable and accessible from anywhere. That way you can start working on a lesson plan at home then continue working on your computer in your class. You can tag lesson plans with specific topics or subjects to make calling them up the next school year even easier.
Open up the search bar in Evernote easily, even when you are in another application.
Use the shortcut Control + Command + F (on the Mac version of Evernote) to put the cursor in the Evernote search bar and do quick searches when you need to find something right away.
You can create To-Do lists with checkmarks right in Evernote. You can even check items off on the go, straight from your iPhone.
Shortcut Keys:
Snap a picture of your license plate and store it in Evernote. The next time you check into a hotel or take your car in for a service you can call it up instead of having to go back outside and write it down.
Coaches, store your playbooks in Evernote. This way if you ever leave the physical one behind you will always have your precious plays backed up and available on any device, anywhere.
Pro tip: Use tags such as zone, man to man, inbound, to call up specific plays for different situations.
Search Tip
You can search for notes that contain specific words in the title by using the search term intitle: followed by the word(s) you are looking for.
Take a snapshot note of the contents of your suitcase. Add a text list of particularly important or valuable items. Having a visual (and text) record of your packed belongings will make filling out lost baggage forms much easier if your bag doesn’t reach its final destination.
