This was impressive. I just spent the last 4 redoing my contenting mining strategy. I take public transport to work so I have an hour or so there and back and it gives me time to read ALOT. Like you, I used to email myself interesting stuff I pull off of feedly and then somehow spend ages categorising them on a google spreadsheet. Evernote makes it so much more easier with the tags and different notebooks. A legend as always Evan! Thanks.
The freshest fruits I have had were at the Ohai ValleySpa and Resort near Santa Barbara. The resorts was nice too. Low Spanish style with herb gardens all over the grounds making the place smell nice.
Hi, just got introduced to evernote, was using OneNote, had nightmare sync to web and mobile devices, liked the concept of using for receipts. More video on using for improving business will be good.
Really good video! Been using Evernote for about 5 months now. As a makeup artist and small business owner I'm finding so many ways to use it. Your tips about using it for receipts was really helpful as I have been a little insecure about tossing the paper. Thanks for the encouragement. Hope you have/had a nice time here in California. I'm a native to L.A. :)
Fantastic presentation with some key ideas, I am in the middle of going paperless at home/office , loved the use for vacation planning, I will be implementing a lot of your ideas for going paperless, whole thing was awesome, great work. Thanks
Great share for dealing with receipts. I never thought of using it that way. The storage and quick search beat going through my shoe boxes. I do use Evernote to keep lots of my notes. One useful thing I find is that I can use my BlackBerry to take picture of all my membership cards and it'll save directly into Evernote. I don't have to keep all my cards in my wallet (CAA, Airmiles, Aeroplans, Shoppers.. etc) Thanks for sharing your tips. I feel a sense of nearness to you as we are from the same city :)
My evernote is a bit out of control... I'm wondering if there's a better way to organize my notes. I use the web clipper on Chrome ALL the time (craiglist posts, weekly TV schedule on SideReel, cross stitch/crochet work in progress photos, was doing ToDo lists and at one point had a notebook I called "Brain Log", and college classes) I've been toying with the "getting things done" methodology and trying to phase out my to-do lists (dated lists with check boxes tagged "ToDo" or "Done")
Hi Evan, I notice many people asking about the scanner you're using. I personally use the new 'page camera' option on my iPhone to simply take a photo. It auto crops and adjusts brightness, then syncs and performs OCR on Evernote server making them searchable. Google 'evernote page camera'
I am in the beginning months of using evernote with scansnap. I am trying to get my head around how to efficiently and effectively use the notebooks and tags. At the moment I feel I have just moved the "pile" from my desk to evernote, but at least searching evernote is easier. Thanks for the video. Trying to keep it simple
Hi Michael, Nice to discover you on youtube. I am just in the beginning stages of trying to organise a sharable GTD based paperless office and researching project management software etc to help run my recently expanded business (awesome & terrifying!). Looking forward to seeing you other vids. :)
Just getting into EN, LOVE IT, watched your video for best practices/new ideas on how to efficiently use it. Got ALL excited about your San Diego request, as we go there often & are going again in 3 wks. We also have great cruise/vacation insider tips, then saw the date - I'm sure the trip is well over! Ha ha, oh well... Happy trails & thanks for a FAB video!
Great video, very informative. Can you explain the note names within your receipts system? Are they simply the date and time the note was created? If so, why do you choose not to name them?
I would appreciate a vid of the process as well. BTW, this is a great video! High quality and I will continue to watch your others. Thanks for your hard work!
Evan.. great tutorial.. thx! Quick Question...how do I save a pdf that is not scanned to a notebook within Evernote? You referenced being able to save travel info in your vacation notebooks
Thanks Evan. Always like your tools tips. Can you clarify the following: 1. what scanner do you use to scan in all the small visa receipts and awkward sized ones that don't feed into a regular scanner easily? 2. do you do anything special to make the scanned in pdfs searchable? That is a major missing feature in my current digital filing system using dropbox. basically can only search by file name and adds a lot of unnecessary work when scanning in receipts/invoices to name the file names.
San Francisco is amazing i lived there before, Height street and Ash-berry is very cool and have good food, it is by the Golden Gate park and you and your family can have a great walk, also Marin City is the most beautiful city i ever seen, you and your family will have a bless time take care and keep in touch!
Good video on using Evernote. I have been using it and OneNote from Microsoft. Found both very helpful and similar, but I kind of leaning to OneNote. I would like your view of OneNote if possible. Thanks
Hi Evan - can you detail what setup you use within Scansnap to get your scanned receipts imported into Evernote? I am having trouble figuring out an efficient way to do this. Thank you.
I like how you itemize your business notebooks according to quarters. I have 2 businesses as well as personal receipts. How would you suggest organizing my 3 areas of receipts. I was thinking to do it as follows: Receipts-Pers 2013 Receipts-Rentals-2013, Receipts-Sand-2013. Then I could tag it according to quarters and other Quickbook classifications such as certain properties, or certain expense catagories. At present I need to simplfy my notebooks and tags. Any thoughts or ideas?
Hello Mr. Carmichael i had used Evernote before, thank you like your videos a lot, thanks i have other questions, but wont full you right now, besides i now people are not actually cooperating to people that are doing all these helpful videos through out the internet, so i feel bad asking to much ;)
I've been using neat desk for the last year, and the software is painfully slow. Scanning speed is decent. I'm curious with ever note, is there any way to total up a group of receipts for taxes? This is one feature I like in neat works. I can get totals for taxes, and it's pretty easy to create new folders, etc. Drawback is it's very slow to do this, but it does have a report feature I really like. Is this something you can do with your system, or is there software that does you recommend?
reminds me pretty much of GoogleDrive where you also can upload notes/files/videos etc and access all your data everywhere at any device. Since Google and youtube are close related, you don´t need extra log-in information for GoogleDrive.
I am deciding apple,google now, samsung s , or dragon to help verbalize (while driving). meeting notes, reminders, etc to a file that can then be shared with my staff to follow up on action items. Can you help? Do these systems work with evernote? or is another recommended. also what is the best business card organizer you have found? I'd like to take a pic of a business card and be able to search any character on it vs a v card (name, business, name, business type- organized list by category).
Sorry... From any hotel ever, was from the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco. Outstanding!! And their olive laves were unreal. And they have a raw seafood bar if you like that.
Great watch! Is the snapscan a separate device or an add on in Evernote. I have a receipt scanner and wonder if it will sync. Also do you use evernote for invoicing to tracking time
Hello Evan, how do you do to insert map ? If i use Evernote web clipper in Chorme with google maps, the map don't appear in Evernote. I got grey image. Only the search rectangle.
Hei Evan Carmichael, Video war cool ich wollte nur sagen dann QwickNote ist besser mit user interface, und benutzen allgemain. Es ist ganz neue app, aber mit sehr großes potenzial und jetz im play story GRATIS.
Laurent Richard I don't have one I can recommend unfortunately. Features and designs change so often that a printed book would also be obsolete pretty quickly. #BTA25
Can you please tell me how to get the things I scanned out of my inbox....I have tagged them and tried to drag them into notebooks, but they stay in the inbox. Thank you!
Patti S Hi Patti - sorry you're having problems. I'm not sure what you're talking about re: "inbox" - if you could share a little more I'd be happy to try to help.
OK, thank you. When I scan docs into evernote they are in my inbox, I tag them and they are still in my inbox, I feel like they should go to the file or notebook or wherever they are supposed to go, but they stay in my inbox. Does that make sense?
Patti S When you scan a doc into Evernote you have an option to save it to whatever notebook you want... and there's no such thing as an "Evernote Inbox" so I'm confused as to what the problem is. Does that help?
Yes, Actually the Evernote I have does have an Inbox, which was my problem, everything I scanned stayed there and I couldn't figure out how to get it some where (notebook) now I know it goes in a notebook. Thank you for your help. Your posts were helpful too!
Hi Evan, Thank you for the email. I am an Agile consultant, wherein I go into a technology company and help with their processes, software development, and technology. I want to organize email communication, proposals, and anything else related to clients. With that said, let me know your thoughts. I would like to organize (among other things) my client information. Items such as email communication, webinars given, proposals written, and anything else related to the client. Make sense?
too superficial for folks already using Evernote. Too advanced for those unfamiliar with Evernote. I already knew all of the stuff and so did not learn anything. But I would have been pretty confused if I did not know the app.

I love your Evernote videos. Your examples are always so specific and give so clear hints on how to best use this tool. Thanks Evan!

Great real world use ideas. Thanks! You gave me some great ideas for uses of EN.
My family and I really enjoyed staying at the LaCosta Resort in San Diego. Close to Legoland too.
Cool video. Very helpful and practical software. After see this video, I decided to sign up on Evernote.

Thank you very much. I never thought of using Evernote for receipts & travel. Great idea. Thank you for sharing.
The screenshots of how your organize Evernote notebooks is interesting. If you say "super helpful" one more time I think I'll blow my brains out.
That is really a nice video Evan.
Nice Job. So is offline available in the free version? I am unclear about that? Thanks again.
Nice video and great information!
Hi Evan - can you detail what setup you use within Scansnap to get your scanned receipts imported into Evernote? I am having trouble figuring out an efficient way to do this. Thank you.
Nicely presented!
Very interesting. Do you use Livescribe Smart Pen with your Evernote? I think it is a very useful tool/addition to Evernote.

Any time. Forgot to mention, the best service I EVER had at a
Hi Evan you mentioned scan snap in this video I googled and saw many types. Could you provide make/model or is it an app?
Excellent Evan. Thank you.

It's a separate device. I just use Evernote's built in camera now on my phone :) #BTA357
Hello Evan, how do you do to insert map ? If i use Evernote web clipper in Chorme with google maps, the map don't appear in Evernote. I got grey image. Only the search rectangle.
How do you clip a webpage to your Evernote? I have a macbook air and the Elephant logo does not appear my toolbar. Thank you in advance.
Hei Evan Carmichael,
Video war cool ich wollte nur sagen dann QwickNote ist besser mit user interface, und benutzen allgemain. Es ist ganz neue app, aber mit sehr großes potenzial und jetz im play story GRATIS.
Hi know you are busy. Thanks for sharing info on Evernote because receipts seem to have disappearing ink. Lol
Instead of scanning receipts, can you just as easily take a photo of them?
Have you a book you can recommand on Evernote for business ? I know a can view videos but a real book is always better for me. Thanks
Laurent Richard I don't have one I can recommend unfortunately. Features and designs change so often that a printed book would also be obsolete pretty quickly. #BTA25

what about data thieves
Gone. My apologies.
EVERNOTE LOSES NOTES (THEY DISAPPEAR) NO WAY TO GET THEM BACK!!!
+Nezello I have not had this problem did you let them know you have lost notes
