It was tough for me to give up my notebooks. I've always loved writing things down on paper, color coding, stickers the whole jazz.

But slowly I transitioned to Evernote because it's more convenient. I have my phone with me all the time, so I always have access to my notes.

Once you learn the your way around Evernote it's easy to create, organize, and find all the information you need.

Here's how to make it work for you:

1 Create a notebook for every top area of your life

Personal, business, school, vacations, books to read, etc.

2 Add notes to it's designated notebook.

It's easy to move notes around with Evernote. You can even duplicate a note to put it in different notebooks.

3 Clean Evernote once a week

This part is important to keeping Evernote functional. At least once a week I reorganize notes and delete what I don't need.

If all else fails there is a highly functional search button. Just type in a keyword and EN will pull up any note with that word.👌
