Greetings, dear readers of my blog!
In today's article I want to introduce you to one interesting service for storing and remotely working with text and graphic files. It's called Evernote and lives at Evernote.com.
Do not be alarmed, despite the English name, and the website of this service, and the attached for different devices The program is completely Russified and intuitive.
Moreover, now I will tell and show you everything, and what it is, and how to register there, and on what principle to use it, you will only have to repeat my actions.
Well, if something is still unclear, then I am always happy to help you through comments or service feedback, contact us without hesitation. Okay, enough of the introductions, let's get down to business, and the first step will be to understand the question of what Evernote is and who it is suitable for.
Evernote - what is this program?
In the simplest and most common language, Evernote is a virtual notebook that you will never forget at home, will never lose, and all the information recorded in it will always be in perfect order and at your fingertips. All your notes will be on a special cloud storage, or, in other words, on the Evernote website. You can manage them using a small application downloaded from the same service and installed on your computer, laptop, tablet or mobile phone. And even if for some reason you lose the mentioned devices, the records and pictures you created will not go anywhere, but will continue to live safely on the service. Agree that it’s hard to imagine anything better.
Maintenance in Evernote is carried out in 3 modes:
- Free (just register, install an application suitable for our device and use it for your health)
- Premium 150 rub. per month, or 1450 rubles. in year
- Business 300 rub. per month for 1 person, used to create group or partnership work
In addition to the main program, the service has many more additional applications for different needs and tasks of users, here are some of them:
1. Skitch– this product allows you to more clearly express your thoughts by supplementing text with graphic elements and icons, as well as highlighting individual sections in notes. This product is available for devices under Windows control 7 and 8, Windows Phone, Apple iOS, Google Android.
3. Evernote Web Clipper- this product allows you to save in Evernote with one click of a button everything that catches your attention on the vast Internet, from a few lines of text or a small picture to an entire web page. Moreover, the saved information will remain with you even if the original source itself fades into oblivion. This product can be easily integrated into any modern browsers up to Internet Explorer.
4. Internet Explorer is a popular and easy to use iPad app. With it, you can write on your tablet by hand, forgetting about paper and not worrying about appearance and the safety of their works. The program will do everything for you, and you can enjoy creativity in familiar conditions.
5. Evernote Food– and this application was created specifically for gourmets and lovers of the art of cooking. In it you can easily save and organize photos and recipes of your favorite dishes and addresses of your favorite gastronomic establishments.
You can find all these and many other applications in the service’s up-center using this link. Now, let me show you with real-life examples how Evernote will be useful to the common man like you and me.
Why Evernote is useful to the common man, real-life examples
Look, for example, you registered in the Evernote service and installed the application on your tablet and went on business or for a walk. Walking down the street, you met an acquaintance, and he asked you to help rummage around with the car in the garage. You open the Evernote application, create a “to-do” section (such sections are called notepads) and write a note there “on Sunday at such and such time to help Vasya with the car.” Set a reminder for the desired date (Evernote has such a function) and save the entry.
You move on, enjoy the weather, and suddenly you see or hear something that gives birth to a fresh idea in your head for a blog article, a new information product, or offline activity. You open the “Business” or “Blog” section and quickly write everything down. That's it, now the fresh idea will not be lost, but over time it will be embodied in the desired project. In the same way, you can put aside photos for the blog. For example, you liked the landscape in the park, you photograph it and drag it into your notes. Now, even if you delete it from the tablet, it still won’t go anywhere. And when you return home from a walk or work, go to the store, open the “shopping” section and read the list of products in the note that you need to buy home.
As you can see, Evernote is a useful thing for life in all respects, and if you add some products from this company, then it is irreplaceable for business. Well, now let's see how to register with Evernote and use all this beauty.
How to install the Evernote app and sign up
To start fully enjoying all the benefits of Evernote, we need to download the application for your computer, tablet or phone and register your account.
You can register directly on the service and use Evernote through a browser. Go to the Evernote website and click on the “Register” link. On the next page, fill in the fields for your email and password and click the “Create account” button, then click the “Login” button and get into the workspace.
You can download a special application for your device (computer, tablet, smartphone), register there and start using it. For example, on my iPhone app looks like that:
To download the application for Windows, do the following.
1. We go to the company’s website using this link from the device on which we want to install the application and click on the “Download” link located at the top of the page. The system on the service itself will determine the type of your device and select a program for it, so you don’t have to worry about this.
2. Download and install the proposed application, carefully reading and following all the instructions in the installation wizard. Everything there is in Russian and intuitively clear, even a schoolchild can understand it. And, if you are installing the program on a computer or laptop, you can select the desired directory. For example, in such cases I prefer to install applications on drive D in a folder specially created for them. This way it’s easier to find them later if you suddenly don’t like something and want to delete the program.
3. Once the installation is complete, a window will appear in which we will be asked to either log in or register new account, choose the second one. Enter your work address in the appropriate fields Email and a specially created password and click the “Register” button. After this, a welcome letter will be sent to your email, and the program will let you into your account. That's it, you can start working.
You can access the program directly from your desktop by clicking on its icon.
Once in the program window, the first thing we will do is create the first section, or, as they are called here, a notepad.
To do this, go to the main menu of the program and in the “File” menu, click on the “New Notepad” item. Then we give our notebook a name and click the “Create” button. Also, to create a notebook, you can use the “Notebooks” tab, in which you need to click the “New Notebook” button and give it a name.
That's it, our first notepad is ready, now you can create text and graphic notes in it, edit them at your discretion, share them with friends by email, in general, perform various necessary actions with them.
A note is created similar to a notepad. Go to the “File” menu and click on the “New Note” item, give it a name and fill it with content.
You can also assign a label to a note for easier searching or a reminder label, copy it, move it to another notebook, edit or delete it. All these actions are carried out through the “Edit” and “Note” menus. A note in the form of a picture or photo is simply dragged with the mouse into the edit field and saved in the same way as a text note. Well, if you decide to customize the application for yourself, you can do this in the “Service” menu, “Settings” item. There you can change the font and enable/disable various functions.
Here short video about working with this tool:
In general, Evernote has an extensive set of all sorts of bells and whistles in terms of working with notes; it would take a long time to list and describe them. But I believe that even what I said above is enough for an ordinary user, and you can read about the rest of the service’s capabilities yourself. I want to say a few more words about the paid versions and additional features of the service.
Paid accounts and interesting features of the Evernote service
The Evernote service has 2 paid accounts “Evernote Premium” and “Evernote Business”. The first one costs 150 rubles. per month, allows you to use up to 240 MB of virtual disk space (in free mode it is only 60 MB) and download huge texts and graphics to high resolution. When using a tablet and phone, premium mode allows you to work without access to the Internet, scan business cards and use password locking.
The second mode, “Business,” costs 300 rubles per month for 1 user and is intended for team work. It has all the features of the Premium mode plus the possibility of more high protection, wider disk space and administration by one person of the work of other partners. You can switch to these modes step by step from personal account on the Evernote website, first with demon paid version to Premium mode, and then from Premium mode to Business mode. But, in my opinion, a simple free account, after all, 60 Mb for texts and pictures is not so little.
Evernote also has a couple of tricks. Firstly, after registration you can earn points by inviting your friends and acquaintances to the service. Then for these points you can use paid services Evernote, for example:
- For 120 points you will get 12 months of premium subscription
- For 10 points - 1 month of premium subscription
- Also for 10 points - 1 GB of downloads per month
Secondly, you can send notes and photos by email to a special email address, which the service itself will form for you. As a result, all your messages will be automatically saved in the main notepad in your Evernote account. This is very convenient when you work on someone else's computer, where there is no installed application, or it exists, but you don’t want to reveal your data at all. You can view the email created by the system in your account, in the “General Account Information” section under the heading “Incoming address for sending notes.”
That’s probably all I wanted to tell you about the evernote service and program. I hope the article was useful to you. Well, if you think that cloud services kind of better, then I’ll say the following. To edit texts on these clouds, you must synchronize with them through a special application. And you can do the same operation in Evernote directly in your account on the website without any programs. In general, as they say, there is no comrade’s taste and color, I just shared my knowledge, and it’s up to you to decide what to work with.
P.S. By the way, if you want to fully explore the capabilities of the Evernot program, get rid of information garbage and start planning your life, then the powerful video course “Evernote Master” from the recognized guru of online business tools Evgeniy Popov will help you.
Well, that's it, goodbye until the next posts!
Best regards, Alexander Bobrin
This material will be written in the first person, since, by and large, it reflects personal experience author when working with the Evernote notebook program.
Evernote is a task management software, but often its incorrect use can not improve the user's productivity, but add confusion to the already information-rich life of a modern person.
What is Evernote?
The next subsection is dedicated to those who do not know what this program is and how it can be used. Evernote is great tool self-organization not only of business, but also of the personal life of a modern person. Let me give you a few examples.
You are preparing an essay, report, diploma: the work itself is written in word processor, interesting bookmarks for materials from the Internet are saved in browser bookmarks, useful material found in a paper book (yes, yes, there are also paper books), photographed on the phone, and then transferred to a special folder with the project, and there are other ideas that arise at the most inopportune moment, for example, during a walk in the park, and if you don’t write them down, you can simply forget them. In addition, the idea can be represented by a photograph, audio or video note.
Another example. You are involved in an accident, you need to photograph the scene of the accident, record the data of the other driver, possibly witnesses, clarify the procedure for further action with the inspectors - all this is information that will need to be saved.
Next example. We have a lot of passwords for various programs, services, many different keys to licensed products - they all need to be stored, and preferably in such a way that the place itself is protected.
You can give many examples with preparation, a seminar, choosing a new car, looking for a job, vacation, etc. this list goes on and on, probably the purpose of this program is best described by the slogan of the developers “Remember everything”.
Now a few words about how Evernote can be useful if we are away from the computer. The fact is that Evernote is not just a program for PC, it is a program for PC, mobile platforms, and an Internet service. That is why a note can be made in almost any conditions (I don’t consider situations where you are in the middle of the desert, far from people, without a computer, the Internet or a smartphone).
I think it would be useful to note once again that the free version of the program is very functional, moreover, I myself use the free version of the program.
Why this material at all?
It's clear, a good product, in principle, it’s quite easy to understand, why do we need this material at all?
I for a long time I used Evernote by analogy with an ordinary notebook, i.e. created a record, while the current problem situation is being solved, the record is used, but if you switch to another task, the previous records disappear into oblivion. If you solve all the problems sequentially, there is nothing wrong with this, however, such situations, as a rule, do not happen. We solve many problems at the same time: renovations in an apartment, a project at work or several tasks that need to be kept under control, life situations, for example, an accident (God forbid, of course), etc. and in this case, this approach to using Evernote is extremely unproductive, some good ideas, may simply be forgotten. In addition, a false impression is created that the program does not help, but simply forces you to do unnecessary actions.
Using Evernote as a simple notebook is extremely unproductive and creates the false impression that the program does not help, but simply forces you to do unnecessary actions.
Why is this happening?
The fact is that when we start using the program without training, but in the “old fashioned” way, using the “scientific poke” method, we begin to use the most familiar way of organizing data, when many notebooks and many tags are created. At the same time, it is simply impossible to create a full-fledged structure using notebooks, because Only one level of nesting is allowed, and the user simply does not think about tags and uses them, just like, for example, when describing an article on a website, or adding keywords into a Word document.
It turns out that notebooks are being created that can duplicate the functional focus, and the increase in the number of tags turns them into a useless cataloging tool. You have to waste time twice: the first time when you create a note and think where it belongs, what tags to assign to it and whether similar tags have already been used, and the second time when you want to find what you wrote down. As a result, a feeling of fictitious usefulness of the program is created.
There is a feeling of fictitious usefulness of the program
This is approximately what the records of a typical user look like, who has not fully understood the correct structuring of data (compare with your organization option in Evernote).
I'll add a small comment. The information seems to be collected, but does not bring practical use in the long term; for many records tags were not assigned at all, and some tags contained only 1-2 records and these are the majority. The only exception was the tag Sticky notes, since it included all the records from the built-in Stiky notes application, at the same time, a lot of notebooks had accumulated, as a result, searching for information was complicated.
How to organize information correctly?
Organizing information in Evernote can most easily be compared with cataloging data in the system itself; for example, I worked as a teacher at a university for a long time, and accordingly, a lot of information on subjects has accumulated. A typical path to access information for a specific subject looks something like this: “My documents\ Work at the university\ Subjects for teaching\ Name of the subject\ Folders of the subject itself”
The nesting may be greater, but it is already clear that at least 4 levels are used. In fact, you need to do something similar in Evernote, but the maximum nesting of notebooks is limited to the second level, you will have to use a different approach, since it is provided by the developers.
The essence of the “other” approach is to carry out the structuring itself not with the help of notebooks, but with the help of tags, in contrast to the keywords that are familiar to us all, which are used in articles, scientific projects, in documents, in Evernote, you can create a structure from keywords, while the level of nesting is not limited, and if limited, it is very high level, although I did not set out to find the limit of nesting, for the sake of interest, I created 10 levels of nesting, and decided not to check further, because It's unlikely to be useful in real life.
Backup copy.
Redesigning the record structure is unlikely to jeopardize the integrity of the records, but if there are concerns, it can be done backup copy data. This is done very simply, command: “File\Export...” and select the first format in the list - this is Evernote’s own format.
Implementation of the remodeling plan.
The change will take place in several steps.
Firstly, we remove all old tags and form the future post structure. The structure will continue to change in the future, so the main thing is to outline the general outlines.
When creating a structure for keywords, it is necessary to take into account that tags, although they are in the structure, are actually separate elements, what does this mean. Firstly, there cannot be two identical tags, despite the fact that they are in different categories, and secondly, if you select a keyword top level it will not include records of lower-level tags, for example, according to my structure, selecting the tag “Payment of bills” does not mean that all records that relate to “Gas”, “Electricity”, “Water” will be selected. On the other hand, several keywords can be assigned to one entry, both in a chain of the same structure and in different ones, for example, all codes and passwords are stored in the “Personal” tag structure, however, some of the passwords are assigned a tag from the “Projects” structure "
If you want, when selecting, for example, the “Projects” tag, all lower-level tags are selected, you can assign all tags in the “Projects” chain to the record; however, for myself, I chose a different approach, which will be discussed further.
The caption of the drawing is “My original structure, later you will see that, in the end, it took on a completely different look.”
Secondly, We scatter existing records according to the formed structure, simultaneously deleting unnecessary records, I have accumulated enough of them.
Third, but what to do with notebooks, since the entire structure is now represented by tags? There are different recommendations on the Internet, some recommend creating one notebook, so to speak, a database of all records, there are tips on creating two notebooks - one for
As for adding notebooks, you can create one, which will be a database, but it is better to use several, for example, you can create one to provide shared access to existing records, and the other for personal use.
I have developed an approach for myself so that the number of books corresponds to the number of top-level tags. On the one hand, when creating the next entry, you need to make sure that it ends up in the right book, but over time, this is done automatically, but, on the other hand, this organization allows you to select all entries by a specific top-level tag without assigning tags from the entire chain of tags.
You can create another book if you need to provide general access for records, I didn’t have such a need.
And this is what the post structure looks like after a complete rework:
The desired record can be found quickly thanks to convenient cataloging.
In the modern world we are surrounded by a huge number useful information. Remembering everything you need and keeping it in your head is, as a rule, simply impossible, unless, of course, you have a phenomenal memory. That's why all business people use notepads. Ordinary notebooks are a thing of the past, because we live in an age digital technologies, where convenient applications are used.
Evernote - what kind of service is it? This question interests quite a lot of people today who really value their time. In fact, everything is very simple - once you learn how to use this program, you will be able to work much more productively. It is the “green elephant” that will be discussed further.
Evernote - what kind of program is it?
Evernote is a service for storing various notes. If you constantly work with large amounts of information and do not want to miss any details, then this program you will appreciate it.
Evernote has many features, which you will learn about after reading this article. At first glance, you may think that the service is difficult to use, but in reality it is not so. Yes, there are several options for using the program, but everyone configures Evernote at their own discretion. Reviews from successful people say that the service promotes more productive work, with its help you will always keep everything under control.
Why do you need Evernote?
Previously, you most likely wrote down necessary information in notebooks or notebooks. This is also where you kept email addresses, phone numbers, employee names, and more. Notebooks ran out and you started new ones. As a result, some information could be lost or you had to search for it for a long time.
Today you can put away your notebooks and use the Evernote service, where you will store any notes. Imagine a situation where you are walking down the street and suddenly an interesting idea for a business or, for example, an article comes to your mind. You forgot your notepad at home, but you can take out your mobile phone, open Evernote and quickly jot down a note. When you come home and turn on your laptop, you can immediately see your recording, because one of the advantages of this service is synchronization between devices.
This is just one example, but in fact there are quite a lot of such situations in everyday life.
Service capabilities
One of the main advantages of Evernote is the ability to access notes from any device (desktop PC, tablet, mobile phone). Wherever you are, open Evernote and look at your to-do list. At the same time, there is Evernote for Android and for other operating systems.
By installing a special extension, you can save entire web pages or individual text fragments. So that you don’t forget what the link is in the note, write an explanation. By the way, synchronization occurs not only between devices, but also between browsers, which is also important.
You can create up to 250 notebooks, each with a ton of notes. The service has a very powerful search, so you can quickly find the information you need. Tags will also help you in your search.
Perhaps the only negative is that there are only two levels of nesting. That is, you can create a notebook in a notebook, but you won’t be able to add another one to it.
Registration on the service and installation of the program
So you've decided to take advantage of Evernote's capabilities. You already know what this service is and what it is intended for, so now you need to register for it.
First, find the Evernote resource on the Internet. Go to the official website of the service and click the “Register” button. Enter your email address and password, then click “Create an account.”
Now click the corresponding button to download Evernote for Windows. Run installation file and agree to the terms of use of the service. Click "Install" and wait for the installation to complete.
Open the program and select the “I already have an account” option. Enter your email address and password, and then click “Login.” If you have not registered for the service, then after installing the program, click “I don’t have an Evernote account.”
As you can see, you can create an account on the service in two ways - before or after installing the program.
Interface
At first, the interface of this service may seem confusing to you, but in reality it will not be difficult to understand. Open the program. You will see three areas:
- On the left is a list of notes, notepads, tags, as well as a chat for work (in new versions).
- In the middle part there are thumbnails of notes, notepads, etc. Using a special option, you can change the display (list, fragments, cards).
- On the right is the note itself, where there are all the usual Word options (fonts, tables). It is also possible to locate it on your computer or create a voice note.
In addition, here you can set a “Reminder”, share a note or an entire notepad with friends. If several people use the program, then add users and switch between them in one click.
So, you installed Evernote, you already know what kind of program it is. Now you need to understand how the notes are organized here.
Structuring information
In order to easily find the note you need, they are all placed in notebooks (you can create 250 of them). It is also possible to assign specific tags (one or more) to each entry. For quick access“Shortcuts” are provided for notes.
Create a notepad and name it, for example, “Electronic wallets.” Here you can place a note where all your wallets will be indicated - WebMoney, PayPal, Yandex.Wallet and others. Now, if you need to indicate the number of anyone on any resource, then simply open the corresponding note, copy the information and paste it into the required field.
Thus, you have the opportunity to create other notebooks (folders) - travel, ideas for projects, to-do list, plans (for the week, month, year).
Now you know what Evernote is, how to use this service - you’ve figured it out. Therefore, a useful addition may be considered.
Evernote Web Clipper extension
If, while searching for information, you browse many sites, then in order not to lose an interesting article, you can save it to Evernote using the Evernote Web Clipper extension. At the same time, you have the opportunity to add the entire page (including images, links) or a fragment of text to the note.
To download the add-on to your browser, go to the website, scroll down the page and click on the “Products” link. Find the Web Clipper extension and click Download. You will be transferred to the store where you need to download the add-on.
Have questions about Web Clipper? Watch the training video (a page will open). But in reality there is nothing complicated here.
Paid versions of Evernote
Except basic version, you can take advantage paid accounts. There are two types:
- Plus - you get 1 GB (per month) of free space for your notes (in the basic version - 60 MB). IN mobile devices oh, you can block the program. You will also have access to information offline.
- Premium - unlimited storage space for notes. In addition, you will have access to all the features of the service, which you can find out about on the official website.
In principle, if you work only with text information, then you will have enough regular version. But in cases where you need to store video materials, photos or other large files, it is better to purchase a paid account.
Are you interested in the service and have you decided to install Evernote? What kind of program is this - you already know. But before using it, it is recommended to listen to the advice of other people. And they are next.
First, install applications on all devices to have access to information from anywhere in the city, country or world. Believe me, it is very convenient, because you no longer need to carry it with you. notebook, which you can also forget at home.
Secondly, be sure to come up with complex password to enter. If you store passwords in the program, for example from electronic wallets, or other important data, be sure to encrypt it (this option is provided).
Thirdly, of course, there are similar services, for example, an analogue of Evernote - OneDrive. However, if you look at the survey results, Evernote remains the clear leader, so it is recommended to use it.
Conclusion
So, after receiving the answer to the question: “What kind of application is Evernote?”, you can conclude whether you need this service or not. It is worth noting that at the initial stage of use, you will think that it is completely useless.
But actually it is not. As the number of notes grows, you will become convinced of the usefulness of the program and will use it more and more often.
The most common question is how and what can you use Evernote for? In this article we will try to deal with this and many other issues.
If you need to organize any data or information, say not only about contacts or significant dates, but some notes, then how to do this? How to ensure that this information is not only on one medium, but that it can be synchronized with someone else’s computer and with your smartphone?
This is exactly what the Evernote system is for.
To begin with, we can consider the main advantages of this software. Firstly, the system is absolutely free. Although there is a paid version with no advertising, it supports offline work. Secondly, this online system. It’s enough just to log in to the system using your account when you go online, and all access to your records is open. Thirdly, all mobile platforms are supported. Below you can list the support various formats, the ability to attach files, perform the function of a navigator, and so on, depending on the release of the program.
In order to activate the service, you need to go to the website evernote.ru, register, and then you can use the application.
Through the web interface, many different possibilities become available, be it the creation of a hierarchy of notebooks, notes in them, plus the system offers use via the clipboard, which allows you to save individual parts of sites.
Also, the main distinctive feature is the function of recording a voice note directly into a written one.
IN latest version For this application, an interface update was developed, previous unobtrusive bugs were eliminated, when synchronization was carried out only on the second attempt, in case of an error, as well as the creation of widgets. But this application you need to download it separately, and when activated, you can now remove the most used functions of the program.
Another feature worth mentioning is data encryption. Now your most important notes can be password protected and will only be accessible if you enter the password when opening them. But this function also has a downside - without knowing the main password for the account, or if it is lost, it will simply be impossible to restore the data. You need to be relatively more attentive to this and take into account the fact that even if the password is changed, the data will no longer be possible to return.
You need a dry floor screed in EKB: dry screed. Buy a steam mop.
Should I talk?
Grebenshchikov Sergey:
I use the alternative Catch.com, I don’t see the point of switching to evernote
Andrey:
*There is 1 such post left to unsubscribe from RSS droidnews*
Zeleboba:
Good luck. We do not hold anyone by force.
Grebenshchikov Sergey:
You shouldn’t be so Andryukha, you shouldn’t be so in vain
Dragon Master:
Such notes are not needed without offline. And in Evernote you have to pay a lot for offline.
Grebenshchikov Sergey:
ABOUT! Then you definitely Catch everything there as you want)
Dragon Master:
I tried it a few months ago and didn't like it. I will try again.
Oleg:
Andrey is right. Evernote service is not bad, but IMHO, unnecessary for us. Our people love freebies. What's the point of paying if you can choose something else that's free and functional?
Moreover, the article is not very good. The topic is practically not covered. Or do you think 500 characters are enough to describe the benefits of Evernote?
Grebenshchikov Sergey:
The service charges money for expanding the space. And so it turns out that we don’t know the functionality of the service and we already have to give money
skurudo:
The question remains - what is Evernot needed for? I understand that the application and service are cool, but why is it needed? :-)
vortex:
I like Evernote. There are many similar services, but there are only a couple of clients for Desktop Windows and Droid.
Zeleboba:
Perhaps I am harsh, then I will explain the reason. The comment seemed ultimatum to me. I really don't like this. Ultimatums, attacks or just a harsh tone towards me, in principle, immediately turns me against a person. Yes, after the second phrase I will try to calm down, but the first one has already been said, and I don’t refuse it.
The second reason is that I really do not intend to hold anyone by force. If you don’t like it, thank you all, everyone is free. Everything I do is done primarily for my satisfaction from the work done. I want, first of all, to like the result myself. If I think that the result is a mess, then I won’t do it. There will be no incentive. And, of course, I found this article interesting enough to discuss, which is why it appeared here. Otherwise I wouldn't have posted it. And a single opinion is important to me, but expressed in a constructive manner, without unnecessary harshness and intimidation. Then I'll listen, yes. And the last point is that the taste and color of the markers are different. Some people think the material is garbage, but others like it. In this case, I am one of those who approved. And I am sure that among the readers there are also those who appreciated the article. By the way, you can see it by the numbers on the social buttons.
Another thing is that if the majority of readers start complaining about bullshit, then I won’t ignore it and, perhaps, even follow the lead, changing something according to requests. But I don’t see such an effect yet, and therefore everything seems to be normal.
But there are still a number of points and subtleties for changes that I will weigh and evaluate for myself when making a decision.
In general, no, I try not to be a complete asshole)

I was on Evernote for a month, but when there were a lot of notes and there was no offline - it was a bummer, I wanted to pay for the pro version, it turned out I had to pay monthly - in the end I switched to Microsoft Onenote, for six months now the notes have been free on it, the limit of 500 is enough for me, the desktop version is many times better Evernote and there are no problems with synchronization like in Evernote.
Andrey vortex:
I also used OneNote. But I messed something up in the account. In the end, everything went to hell. It is very unintuitive.
olddroid:
I’ve been using Note Everything for a long time, it’s very convenient, and recently it’s been syncing with Dropbox.
Leanna:
Evernote has a very cool clipper, which makes it convenient. I grabbed something from the Internet to read later, or all sorts of recipes, or information that I shouldn’t forget. It's very good and convenient service, for which I don’t know full-fledged analogues, it’s not clear why they attacked so much. The big minus is the lack of free offline for mobile devices.
Can catch.com clip pages with images and original formatting?
Dragon Master:
For this purpose I have been using Pocket for a long time and successfully.
navi_cg:
Maybe someone can tell me. Evernote's description says that it allows you to recover notes anytime, anywhere. I uninstalled this application and set up synchronization of regular notes via EverNote.
I reset the phone and, after asking, reconfigured the synchronization, but the notes were not restored. Why?
Andrey:
What's useful in this news? There is simply no link to the application, no QR code - no nothing. There is water, all text.
The same thing as writing an article on the browser now. Well, a browser is a thing through which you can surf the Internet. What else do you need a browser for? Of course, to view offline pages on your personal computer! And also, you can get a convenient tool for storing bookmarks. Side bookmarks, menu bookmarks, you can group them!
Plus, you can play online games right in your browser!
Well, etc. So you can write an article about anything. Where is the review, exactly? Pros/cons, usefulness of the service, how much space is provided, what platforms it is available for, etc.

The Evernote program was a revelation for me, I have been using it for almost a year and am very pleased. To use this program skillfully, you need to configure it in a certain way, with a certain hierarchy. I recommend a video course that describes in detail how to make the transition to Evernote as quickly and conveniently as possible http://1popov.ru/c/64753
There are a number of programs without which it is simply impossible to work effectively. One such program is Evernote for Windows. We will mainly assume that it is for Windows, although the program will be used on many mobile devices. Cross-platform thing, oh how. But it’s advisable to start with an ordinary computer/laptop, then you can quickly understand why all this is happening.
What is evernote for?
When some bloggers begin to explain the essence of Evernote, they often confuse themselves, talking about some difficulties, some examples in order to understand why it was all invented. But there are people who understand the meaning of the program quickly and simply. I consider myself one of those people. Why? As a teenager and young adult, I was quite inquisitive. Therefore, in addition to books, I had a bunch of notebooks and notebooks, where I wrote down various information, breaking it down by topic. After all, it is inconvenient to store a dozen magazines if what is interesting takes up a small part of the notebook. Or you just need to write down an anecdote, a quote, a thought. Or sketch out a short plan.
It seems to get rid of the mess, but over time, when a large number of notebooks and notebooks accumulate, it becomes a little problematic to sort through them. But it’s still better than piles of magazines, newspapers, sheets and other things.
So, Evernote is primarily a program for creating and organizing notebooks in which notes will be written. Moreover, there are two levels of notebooks - a set of notebooks on a broad topic, and inside there are specific notebooks, inside of which, in turn, there are thematic notes.
When I installed the program, I very vaguely understood what it was for.
It’s just that Evernote was at its peak in popularity on the Internet, everyone was writing about it, describing all sorts of possibilities for accumulating and storing information (and I love this business). But there was no clarity on this issue.
No, to say right away that in a simplified form this is a set of notebooks on various topics and you can have access to these notebooks from any workplace or mobile phone. Everything else is bells and whistles.
Evernote sync
The main advantages of Evernote synchronization. All your notes will be synchronized via the Internet and you will have access from any of your devices. You just need to install the application; access can be obtained online by logging in through evernote.ru; supported different kinds data; very convenient search and selection of notes; sensitive data can be protected with a password.
Evernote cons
There are also disadvantages: free version limitation on the amount of information. 60 MB per month for synchronization.
This is why I use text notepads more than any multimedia. You can, of course, use other programs - but it’s convenient, damn it!
The paid version costs $45 per year. But many new features are added, such as access for multiple users, increasing the volume of synchronized information up to 1 GB.

Evernote features.
Set of notepads
1. The very first thing to do is to identify key sets of notebooks. Several big directions. For example, the sets “Work offline”, “Work online”, “Hobbies”, “Household chores”. Or “Business”, “Leisure”, “Information”. In short, here you need to think about and choose the main priorities. I did everything quickly myself and it didn’t turn out very well. Although you can spend a little time and redo it.
2. Then notebooks are created in each of the sets. For example, in the “Work Online” set, notebooks are made for each specific blog, notebooks for external and internal optimization, general work on blogs, etc. There are local notebooks (that is, they are stored only on your computer) and synchronized ones (the information is posted online).
Evernote notes
3. The necessary notes are created in specific notebooks. It is advisable to assign short but informative tags to each note. Then information can be searched through the hierarchy of notebooks or quickly using a label.
Evernote protection
4. Confidential information You can additionally password protect it. I would be careful about storing all passwords for various services online. But you can save your passport data and additionally put a password on it. Paranoia won't hurt. Once again I’m talking about the main thing - in the free version only 60 MB are synchronized. per month. Therefore, you need to store it online text information and attach optimized images to notes. That is, photos and pictures need to be compressed as much as possible, just like blogging.
Audio notes
6. It is better to store the rest of the media information using other methods. The only time when it is convenient to use Evernote is to make your voice recordings in audio notes, preferably in local notebooks, especially if the recordings take up a lot of space.
It is possible to make a handwritten note or record a screenshot from a webcam.
Now, on your computer both at home and at work, you can log into the evernote desktop utility and work with notebooks. In the same way, you can work with these notebooks using a smartphone or from a browser anywhere. This will be the notebook that you are advised to carry and write down all your thoughts.
Evernote mailbox
8. Evernote creates for you Mailbox, type [email protected], where you can send the necessary postal letters from your any mailbox.
9. Evernote has the ability to search for text in images. Take a photo of the schedule, optimize the image and attach it to a note. After synchronization, you can search for text in the image.
Using Evernote
It’s better to consider the topic of blog promotion and making money online. Although I can’t help but mention other, vitally useful options: I keep separate notebooks with notes for each blog. Convenient and easy; analysis of paid and free video courses. You look and immediately write down ideas, methods and what needs to be done; webinar analysis. We look and immediately write down the necessary thoughts. When the presenter says, take a notepad and pen, then I open Evernote; saving pieces of web pages using a clipper or simply copying; saving useful thematic links in those notes where necessary; saving passport data, codes, bank details, e-currency wallet numbers, etc.
storage of addresses, telephone numbers, necessary schedules; recording the necessary codes used in creating a blog; I conduct planning, from global plans to their sequence for the week. I write down my daily activities manually; I save quotes, aphorisms, poems, clever thoughts; I write down books that are worth reading, films that are worth watching, music that are worth listening to, etc. I write down any of my ideas and plans.
Like this useful program. On this moment Without it, it’s like being without hands, I use it in everyday life almost every day. They say that there are other programs that replace notepads, but I'm already used to Evernote for Windows. And I don’t regret it one bit.
