My Electronic Brian

For the past several years I’ve been trying to go paperless. I typically scan important documents, save information so it’s accessible from any computer or mobile device (i.e. iPad, iPhone, Blackberry), and I try not to print web pages, emails, or documents. Instead I store, organize and interact with all of this information digitally. It’s overwhelming sometimes, but I found the best way to manage this is with electronic notebook software called Evernote.

Evernote allows you to create notebooks that you can sync between multiple devices, including the web. With Evernote, I’m able to make audio, video, or text notes, and I can clip information from the web or certain desktop applications – like Microsoft Outlook. I use Evernote for a range of things:

· Research for work, school, or travel

· Save receipts

· Store recipes

· Save important voicemails

· Store business cards and contact information

· Lists

· Manage passwords, and account information for work.

· Small scale project management.

I like Evernote so much that I encourage my employees to use it too.

Evernote also integrates nicely with other applications too, like livescribe. And, you can share all of your notes with others via email, the web, or social networking. This makes is a great collaborative tool for education.

It’s a remarkable piece of software that truly helps you get organized.
