    I love evernote – and seeing others get organised with it too!

    Now I don’t have to rely on my fragile portable hard drive as much anymore, because accessing Evernote is so much easier (and aesthetically pleaing too :)

    Thanks team (and well deserved with the ipad2:)

    I run a local government watchdog and evernote’s pdf searches are essential for searching government documents and organizing all the different items which we review.

    I use evernote to keep track of new published legal cases. I can jot down a note or thought about the case, and tag it, and then it is saved in PDF format into the searchable database and I have my own personal reference library. Pretty neat!

    My girlfriend and I are about to move into our first apartment together. We’re using evernote to keep track of what we need to buy, what we need to get rid of, budgeting our expenses and anything else relating to this big change! Thank you guys!

    So many things: Clipping articles, recipes, web receipts; drawing up my budgets, organising a move(with all the phone numbers and quotes for removals, letting agents etc); taking notes and clipping diagrams for studying; collecting all my writing and writing ideas

    My favourite one at the moment: keeping track of my knitting notes. Taking pictures of my work in progress, with the notes right there with the picture, legible and searchable; clipping pictures of interesting pattern i see on a website, or even taking a picture of something that inspires me in the street or in a shop; yarn requirements for different projects. And because it’s on my phone, it’s always with me.

    While on a hike recently, I realized that I had forgotten one of my paper maps. Fortunately, I had it in Evernote, and even without any reception, I was able to access it because it had been synced and downloaded.

    I use Evernote everyday to keep track of my experiments. It’s just great that I can keep the settings, resulsts in forms of matlab files and spreadsheets as well as images and plain text all in one place and can comment on everything. This is especially usefull when trying to remember planned modifications. Since I have lots of data the pro plan has been my option of choice for quiet some time. I love the mobile integration on my cellphone. I have my data with me wherever I go and can present it to people or scirbble down that great idea on the legendary napkin and snap a picture of it. It will be there right in the Projec folder where it belongs and not lost!

    I am a researcher for a nurses’ union and a father. I use Evernote for almost everything – saving PDFs and articles for research, taking notes in meetings, organizing lists. But most recently I have been using Evernote to take pictures of my 5 year-old’s artwork and drawings. He produces stacks of art, and it is not possible to keep it ALL, yet very hard to decide what to throw away. This way I can keep it all without needing more space. Once I get a scanner, this process will be even better. I will have my own portable art gallery of memories and, with the new sharing features, it will make it easy to share with family, and it will be easy to expand as my 2 year old finds his style.

    I recently became the CFO of a company called e-filliate. A leader in the online world specializing in high-value, low-cost tech accessories through its Cyberguys.com website, they utilize a fairly complex computer system to ensure timely customer service.

    Thanks to Evernote, particularly its ability to categorize screenshots, I’ve been able to quickly develop a “manual” that captures the everyday tasks within this system and do so while managing the financial future of the company.

    Without Evernote, the process would have been much more difficult.

    I use Evernote daily and find myself recommending just as frequently!
