Quick Reads: The Evernote Bible

Brandon Collin's short book, The Evernote Bible is a guide for using Evernote to increase productivity. Though I have used Evernote for several years, particularly to sync notes between different devices, Collin's introduced me to many new features and uses for the software.

Evernote is a free software program/service, available to download from evernote.com.  Its primary purpose is creating notebooks to organize personal information.  The Evernote Bible begins by explaining the basic features, such as organizing notebooks and tags.  I was introduced to several other features, including

• e-mailing notes directly into Evernote
• clipping information from the web into Evernote
• encrypting information within a note
• sharing notes and
• automatically importing folders and documents into Evernote.

In addition to introducing the basic and power features of Evernote, Collins provides suggestions for how to use Evernote as a tool for storing various kinds of personal and professional information.  This quick read provided numerous practical suggestions to improve my organizational systems, using software which I already have on my computer.  The hour or so it takes to read this book is time well spent.
