I have another tip: if you use a lot of medication and you somehow keep losing those annoying ‘medibracelets’, make a seperate ‘medicine’ stack, in which you put seperate notebooks like “once a week”, “once a day”, “if my left foot turns orange”…

You can then create a seperate note for every mediction you use and incude an image of the container and/or seperate pill, dosage history, start/stop dates, when you should order new ones, or just scan all the info that came with it and include it as an attachment.

The idea behind this is not to refer paramedics to your evernote account, but if disaster ever strikes and you are forced to leave your home without medication (or you weren’t home to begin with!), then its simply a matter of logging into Evernote Web from another system and hit ‘print’.

Carryng your medical data with you is a good idea, but if you have ADHD, they might as well ask you to climb Mount Everest with your eyeballs. Evernote doesn’t need to be remembered; it follows us instead.

There are special solar panels that you can leave out in the sun (shocking, I know) and then use to charge USB-powered devices. There are also larger panels that can be used to charge a laptop, but they are gonna cost ya.

By the way, if you’re a writer like: do yourself a favor and get an Alphasmart. With 700 hours on three penlite batteries, you should be able to keep typing until the power comes back on

Most of my planing occurs prior to or enroute to an incident so lack of power is usually not an issue until we arrive on the scene of an incident. When we are operating in an area that has no power that lack of power is a significant concern. I am somewhat fortunate, however, when we deploy to a disaster we take significant power and communication resources with with us. In the event that we loose power or equipment is damaged I do have the ability to convert to a paper system. I am very excited to try out the new Evernote Moleskin Notebook for use in the field and then bringing those notes into my electronic work flow.

I have a suggestion if you are accepting such input.

Within each Notebook, on my laptop, the Notes are only displayed/sorted by date created, with the oldest at the bottom and the newest at the top. I would really like the ability to move my notes as I see fit, those I use the most on top for example, or some other order. At this time, I can’t find a capability to resort my notes within a notebook or give them a different priority or ranking and thus change their display order.

I also noticed that on my android phone, the order of the notes displayed is actually by date used, which I find much more useful than the sort order I see on the laptop. But again, there is no way to change that order, if I want to see them say alphabetically.

In summary, this is a suggestion to add options for sorting of notes within a notebook, allowing the user to move notes to the top or other locations as well as have some preset sort options such as: by date descending (date last updated), by date ascending, by alpha, by date created, etc.

Thank you for your consideration.

Awesome! The one question I have is how do you prepare for significant loss of power? That is the one thing that scares me about my dependance on my electronic devices!
