I’ve seen your piles of Post-It notes, people. In other words, don’t put a note together that you call Passwords and clearly list all your super important junk, deal? I do not recommend putting financial account numbers, social security numbers, or other truly sensitive information in the app, unless it is encrypted or hidden in some way. Just a note, this is a not a bank-level security app. I was deleting off my Evernote shopping list as I dropped each item in my cart, and she leaned over to see how I was using the list. Just today I was shopping in Target with one of my friends who also uses Evernote. It’s kind of like a Vulcan greeting, but more useful. When you meet another Evernote user, it’s common to ask how they use it.
If you are really trying to get organized, I challenge you to download Evernote to 2 of your gadgets: your main computer AND whatever smart device you use on a regular basis. It’s almost always available, and they rarely make kooky changes that make me crazy. I’ve been using it for a little over five years. My favorite thing about Evernote is that it works. No longer do you have to be tied to the very structured file-and-sub-file structure, where you have to remember where you put things. You can add pictures from your camera, web-clippings, or even voice memos to your notes.
