Where I use Evernote:



We’re always on the lookout for unexpected ways that people are using Evernote. When we heard about California dairy farmer Ray Prock and his Evernote use, we had to see it for ourselves.

On our recent visit to his family farm, not only did we get a tour of the dairy, but we also learned about the critical role Evernote plays in keeping everything running. Ray, like lots of business owners, has the huge task of managing enormous amounts of information. In his Evenote account, Ray captures information on his cows, including their numbers, treatments and feed details. He also keeps track of his maintenance needs, supplies, notes from meetings, and remaining tasks.

Check out the video below to get a peek at our visit to Ray Lin Dairy.

    As a student it’s a great daily tool. Same with mother of four and being disabled. It’s ease of use for a person like me with no hands is unchallenged! Thank you so much for this wonderful app that I still can’t believe is free!

    The thing is, Evernote is not a good app for tracking statistics as mentioned in the summary. Evernote is not a real database app, which is what he really needs. Even a Google Docs spreadsheet with a few data-entry forms would be far more useful, because he could generate reports and monitor trends. Entering such data into Evernote by hand on a regular basis would be a tremendous waste of time, because it would require formatting and organizing manually. A simple database with some forms for each activity would be much faster, simpler, and more helpful.

    For non-numeric data, Evernote may be ok, but for tracking numbers, it’s the wrong tool for the job.

    this is a really great case study, probably the best one I’ve seen so far. Not taken in a hip advertising agency, new media company, record label, fashion designer workshop – but in a real world situation.

    Great and inspiring. Thanks.
