Here are two quick tips I want to share for using Evernote.
Saving Program Announcements
I just recently finished graduating from the University of Wyoming. Included as part of the graduation was a booklet highlighting all the graduates. I also attended the commissioning ceremony for one of my Civil Air Patrol members. It also had a brochure with the details. Normally, I would collect and later discard these booklets. However, this time, I am going to first scan them into a PDF and save them in Evernote.
Since I use Evernote as a relationship management application, whenever I search for a name included in one of these documents in Evernote or Google, the search results will list the document. It would be nice to track the results of these successful individuals over the years.
Capturing Training Notes
I have repeatedly mentioned that I type all my training notes as I attend workshops, webinars, and conferences. However, I also have a wealth of notes in binders and notebooks that I have not touched in years. Moving three bookcases over the weekend immediately brought this to my attention.
Soon, I plan to pick up a Fuji iX500 or s1500 scanner to digitize all my notes that I have accumulated over the years. The Nerdy Teacher‘s article, Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 Desktop Scanner #Evernote and the weight of heavy binders inspired me. Aside from a lighter load, the greatest benefit is being able to find notes as I search in Evernote or Google. Evernote can even search through handwritten notes. Note: This depends on the clarity of the writing.
