Book Review: A Mom’s Guide to Evernote

Ok, I don’t qualify as a mom, but I really enjoyed this book that I found listed in Alexandra Samuel’s, Work Smarter with Evernote*. A Mom’s Guide to Evernote, written by Lauren Rothlisberger, is a great little book on Evernote that looks at it from a different perspective. Rothlisberger is a military spouse who is used to moving regularly. She discovered the power of Evernote as she tried to become better organized and ended up becoming a better mom.

The book weighs in at 32 pages, but it cuts to the point better than most books on the topic. Rothlisberger’s book has three core sections: what Evernote is and why you should use it?, how to use Evernote, and templates for content notebooks.

As Rothlisberger points out, this is not an A to Z guide on Evernote. However, in 10 pages, she gets you set up, teaches you how to enter notes, and gets you on your way to creating an effective notebook structure. She does not waste words, making this an effective guide.

Organizing Important Family Documents

One of the most powerful pieces of the book is the template structure she provides for tracking important documents. Rothlisberger provides a detailed layout of notebooks for tracking everything about your family. Evernote serves as an excellent tool for storing copies of important documents that you might lose or damage during moves, fires, floods, theft, and similar events. With Evernote, you can have important documents at your fingertips when you need them most rather than making unnecessary trips back to the house.

Instead of looking at Evernote from a professional work-related viewpoint, Rothlisberger looks at Evernote for a better family life. Great job!
