Evernote and Shoeboxed have put an end to the universal struggle of managing receipts and business cards.  Even I, professional organizer, had a pocket of business cards in my work bag, waiting to be made useful…

Until now!  I’m pretty sure the only easier way than this is chuck the papers in the trash and not bother at all.

And a big “thank you!” the nice folks at Shoeboxed, Evernote and Pixily for producing such awesome YouTube how-to’s.

“Evernote allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible and searchable at any time, from anywhere.” – The Evernote People.

Lauren Davidson says: Evernote is the open-source equivalent to Microsoft’s OneNote… minus the Microsoft monopoly bugs and glitches, and plus oodles of options and add-ons to expand it’s uses with your Mac, PC, iPhone or other mobile device. Evernote takes the place of note pads, scratch paper, sticky notes and “favorites files”.  En somme, wherever you used to save important ideas, only to lose them in a sea of paper or electronic files.

I use Evernote to jott down blog ideas, products I’d like to research and review, lists of clients to be in touch with, marketing ideas, resources and more.  In the past, I would have used a notebook or (heaven forbid) made a MS Word document for a list or brainstorming project!  Now that’s a guarantee I’ll never look at it again.

With Evernote, I just delete the note when I’m done with it.  A metaphorical crumbling of the sticky-note and tossing of it into the circular file.

Plus, Evernote is good looking. Take a quick tour and see if Evernote is for you!
