It’s actually been a much easier task than I had figured it was going to be, and it’s largely thanks to Evernote. By thinking a little bit outside the box about what I could store in Evernote and how it could work for me, I’ve gotten rid of my need for a lot of applications, instead keeping everything in Evernote. It’s helped me remember more, find what I need when I need it, and be more on top of everything at once.
No matter what else you do with Evernote, here are eight things I’m now keeping in Evernote, and highly recommend:
不管你用Evernote来做什么，我强烈建议这八种事情来用它记录：
Logging Me In
登录信息
I keep a list of all the usernames and passwords I use, for any and all services and applications, inside an Evernote note. The only username and password I have to remember is for Evernote, and then I’ve got one-click access to all my logins. It means I can use different passwords for everything, which is much more secure, without risking forgetting.
This one’s got some potential privacy issues, but it’s never been an issue for me: I keep a photocopy of my passport, social security card, and various other important documents within Evernote. Most of the time I need my passport, all I need to do is make a copy – having these documents around has saved me many a trip to the safety deposit box, and made finding important information a lot easier.
You know how, when you would babysit, there was always the list of phone numbers on the fridge for you to call in case of any imaginable emergency? If the kid choked, one number. Poison? Another. Tripped on a tricycle and is running in circles flapping like a bird? Another. Having all these numbers in Evernote is great for you on the go (“what’s my lawyer’s number again?” “Who fixes my car when it’s broken down on the side of the highway in Nebraska?”), and makes for an easily-updated fridge sheet.
If I’m flying, or going on a train, all my confirmation emails go straight into Evernote. With one search, I can easily look up my flight number, the gate it’s leaving from, my confirmation number, and the number to call Priceline when I miss my flight.
I’m always on the hunt for good restaurants and coffee, and keeping a list of places I like, along with their locations, in Evernote has been a great way for me to keep going back to good places. Instead of always thinking “I wonder what’s good around here…” I know!
Like 90% of what I buy when I go shopping is the same every time. By keeping those 20 or so things on my list (with a section for “one-timers” below it that gets cleared every time I shop) I make sure not to get home without forgetting milk, Golden Grahams and fruit snacks. Because I’m a five year old.
Evernote is my filing cabinet now, and basically the only thing I get that’s physical anymore is bills. So, once I’ve paid the bills, I scan them into Evernote – then I can search for a month’s bill, or a particular transaction, if an issue ever comes up.
Ever had to figure out how to reinstall a driver? Or how to boot into Safe mode from the command line? If you’ve had to do them, odds are good you’ll have to again – if you find a forum, or blog post, with instructions, copy them into Evernote. Then, when you get some awesome error message you’ve seen before, you’ll know what to do.
The advantage Evernote presents is the ability to have everything I need, particularly reference and important documents, always at my fingertips. It works on my phone, my iPad, my computer, my other computer, your computer, and so on and so forth – anytime I need to remember a number, or a confirmation code, or find information for someone, it’s just one search away in Evernote.
