In addition to the Clearly icon, you get a little sidebar with the Evernote elephant icon. While this makes for a simpler reading experience, I really like it for clipping web pages. Evernote ClearlyĮvernote Clearly is a browser add-in that lets you strip out all the “clutter” on web pages: headers, sidebars, etc. So, for example, if I found a webinar that I want to attend, I can clip the the webpage (or a portion of the page) and add a checkbox to that note, with a line to register for the webinar and the date. Using a search on todo:false brings back all the blank checkboxes. But I’ve recently learned that you can add a checkbox to anything in any note (as opposed to creating a separate to-do list). To-DosĮvernote has had checkboxes that let you make to-do lists for quite awhile. This screen shot shows the master note with links back to individual web clips. I also have one master note for the assignment and include links to all other notes – sort of like an interactive outline. As I find things related to a topic, I can clip them into Evernote. One way that I use this is when prepping assignments for US-REC Study Group. You can imbed links from any Evernote note into any other note (and into outside apps, like calendars, I understand).

US-REC Study group – everything related to – you guessed it – the US Records Study Group of which I’m a participant and co-leader.

Stroud-Curtis notes – another research project.

Patterson-Chapman notes – another research project.

Langston Research – this is a research project.

Genealogy – General: this is for stuff that is related to Genealogy, but doesn’t fit it into any other notebook.

For example, I have a “Genealogy” notebook stack that currently contains five notebooks: Stacks provide an added level of organization. Each notebook can have as many pages (like OneNote subpages) as you want. If you are a OneNote user, Evernote stacks are akin to a OneNote notebook with Evernote notebooks like OneNote pages. Stacks are a way to organize notebooks into groups. Some of the features I’m finding most useful are: Notebook Stacks

I started using Evernote about 18 months ago (you can read my original post on the subject here) and I wanted to revisit the topic with some tips and tricks that I’ve picked up along the way, as well as highlight some new features.Įvernote really has become more and more useful over the last 18 months, as the company has added new features, acquired companies, and as third parties have built apps to work with Evernote.
