I have a notebook in my Evernote called, “ Just In Time Learning“. The only reason I’m including it here is in case you have a better solution for recording and organizing the best posts and articles I’ve read on blogs into Evernote. So, this one needs a lot of improvement, at least for me. If you’re struggling in the messy middle, just remember… /XEPxFbH7pU This is probably from listening to so many podcasts but when I hear something smart, I want to record it on that note. Today, I have a note in Evernote called, “ Terms and Phrases“. I wanted to keep that term in mind so much I kept it written on a sticky note stuck to my desk for a while. Just the idea of becoming a Thought Leader blew me away. Smart Terms and PhrasesĪs silly as it sounds, I can remember, several years ago, when I heard the term, “ Thought leader“. The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive. Evernote is a great place to store those that you resonated with and would like sharing from time to time. I find Google and the large “ quote” websites a little overkill when looking for a particular quote I loved. What makes us look smarter than quoting someone famous for saying smart things? I’ve purchased a book for Kindle just to discover I have the physical book in my bookcase. Seriously, I’ve done that more times than I care to admit.
Not only for answering those “ what have you read” questions but for recommending a book or making sure I’m not buying a book I already own. With that said, this has become one of the most helpful notes I have on Evernote.
Just keeping it up to date is a challenge, to be honest. I have no idea how much time I have invested in “ My Book Library” note on Evernote. Book You’ve Readįair warning – if you’re a big reader like I am, this can become a massive project. So let’s look at some of the data we can keep within Evernote that can make us look smart for something like an online video or audio interview: 1. The second searches only within the note you’re currently on: Edit > Find and Replace > Find Within Note ( Ctrl + F on Windows). The first is the search bar at the top of the program, “ Search all notes“. Real quick, there are two separate search features I use a lot. Evernote’s wide range of formats and its powerful search ability make it the ideal tool for quick recall of those tiny little factoids many of us find hard to retain mentally.
