Maybe I am not as organized as I thought I was.
I am new to the world of Evernote, but in the short time that I have began using it, I absolutely love it. I use it primarily for my genealogical research, but it is also good for anything. Household accounts, family business, etc.
The user can either create an account online or download the app onto their device and that is it. So simple. Nothing to purchase, it is free. There is an option to upgrade, but so far, personally, I have no need for that.
Once inside Evernote, create a Folder, and inside the Folder create a Note. That is where your information is stored. and that is it. The information is saved. The user can than access that information anywhere. It is absolutely fantastic. Also, it is not only text notes, that can be saved, but also web links, images and sound recordings as well.
It allows the user to keep their information in one place, where it is easily accessed at any time. Brilliant. Example: I can find a document I have been searching for at home on my desktop, but need to step away for a while, but know I will need to access it later in the day. So I would place it into a new Note in a new Folder in Evernote. Later on I can then open my phone or iPad and open the app, and there the document will be. Very simple.
As a genealogist and a wife and family member, I highly recommend using Evernote. If there is ever anything that you need to remember, this will assist. It will help you store your information, remind you of things, and aid you in your organization.
