Organize Your Life With Evernote
There are many programs out there that give you cloud storage (and several great blogs already written about them) and many ways to take notes, but Evernote is a combination of both of these great things. Evernote can be accessed anywhere you have a computer/tablet/phone and internet and it can help you organize in more ways than you may think....
1. Take class notes- This one is pretty obvious, but Evernote can be used as a storage for all of your notes from all of your classes. It allows all your notes to be together and easily accessible.
2. Scan handouts- Instead of misplacing or lugging around all your handouts, you can scan them and put them directly into Evernote so that they are right next to all your other notes.
3. Scan textbooks- To cut down on weight, you can also scan important pages from your textbook into Evernote and then have needed information for studying anywhere without having to bring the whole textbook.
4. Keep things separate- While all your notes can be in one place, you can still divide things up by creating notebooks. So you can make one notebook per class and maybe even for other aspects of your life.
5. Format PDFs- If any of your professors give you a PDF to read and you want to highlight it, you can drag it into Evernote and gain that capability,
6. Record lectures- Evernote accepts a lot of different types of files and this includes sound files. So you can put recordings of professor's lessons in your notebooks. Just remember to ask your professor before you start recording them.
7. Clip webpages- Evernote's Web Clipper lets you take pictures of webpages. This can help keep track of sources while compiling research for projects.
8. Share notes- You can generate a link to share notes or even full notebooks with others.
9. Access to a variety of apps- There are many add ons to Evernote, including things like Eidetic that help you memorize things faster.
10. Easily searchable- Since your notes are now digitized terms can be searched for. This can make study guides a lot easier to fill out.
So if you are worried about mid-terms coming up in a few weeks, maybe you should try Evernote or a similar program to become more organized and put your best foot forward.
