Get Digital Life In Order

What Evernote needs to do (or keep doing) to get better
  1. Distraction free writing zone – can be achieved in web view only in full screen mode
  2. Better chat features – What they need is slack b/c slack is the new standard in work chat
  3. More style options – BLAH
  4. Keep building the BRAND
    1. Doesn’t seem like they’re interested in the mid-level products (See $180 backpack)
    2. https://www.evernote.com/market
  5. Continue to improve mobile
    Why is it so hard to tag things in Evernote mobile? They show me 90% of my screen as a map and 10% where I can add a tag?

40 Things Content Creators Can Use Evernote For (video post)

The right tool will save you time and increase your creativity

You’ve tried a lot of tools but you need to pick one and use it consistently. My content creation tool of choice is Evernote. It fulfills all the rules for a great content creation tool.

How To Pick The Right Tool

  1. It gets out of the way
  2. It has multiple functions
  3. It’s easily customized
  4. It makes you a better creator

The right tool gets out of the way, has multiple functions, is easily customized, and makes you a better creator. (highlight to Tweet)

If you’re a content creator then Evernote is a tool that fulfills those requirements. It’s free to use but worth upgrading to the premium subscription at just $50 a year.

How Can Evernote Help You Create More Content?

Below you’ll find a video where I teach you 40 Ways Content Creators can use Evernote. If you’d like the Evernote note of the list then you can get that by clicking below the video. Click here to watch the video

Evernote Adonit Jot Script 2 Stylus Review

Evernote and Adonit recently released version 2 of their stylus. I was very excited about getting this but as you’ll see in the video below I think they’ve failed to create a functional stylus for one simple reason.

The Evernote Adonit Jot Script 2 stylus has great style and awesome charging functionality but ultimately fails because of one major design flaw.

Adonit Jot Script 2 Stylus



Watch my video review or click here if you don’t see the video below.

Unfortunately it failed my tests with Evernote’s own note taking app Penultimate.

Pros:

Weight
Build quality
Charging speed
USB Magnetic charger
Battery life
6 months of Evernote Premium included

Cons:

Price vs. Performance
Forces you to turn off multi-touch gestures shortcut
Tip movement
Palm protection performance
App integration = Penultimate had lousy functionality or you have to buy non-Evernote $5 apps

Buy or Pass?

Pass. Too many bugs even though the hardware is solid. Most of all the loose tip makes the pen too difficult to use. Even with the six months of free premium Evernote included I’m sending mine back.

Other (better) Stylus Options
Wacom Bamboo – $17.95
New Trent Arcadia 2 in 1 Stylus – $8.99

How To Create Evernote Notes Using Siri

Evernote is the best digital tool available for storing ideas, documents and notes across multiple devices. If you want to get the most out of Evernote then you’ll want to know the easiest ways to get information into your Evernote notebooks.Siri doesn’t have a great reputation but the more you use it the smarter it gets. When Siri is working well it can save you a tremendous amount of time. In this video you’ll learn how to create Evernote notes using Siri. It’s the fastest way to create an Evernote on an iPhone in my experience.

Add Tags For Massive Productivity

If you rely on tags like I do for making Evernote more powerful then you can also add tags when creating Evernote notes using Siri. Watch the video below for some important nuances if you do want to tag the notes you create using Siri. It’s easy if you know the rules but you’ll want to know them to make it work.

Setup Process

Here are the steps to creating an Evernote note using Siri.

  1. Find your Evernote account email address.
    On the Mac desktop app menu go to Evernote – Account Info.
  2. Add that email address as an iPhone contact.
    Tell Siri “Open Contacts” to open your Contacts app.
    Manually add the email address.
    Name the contact “Evernote” as a first name with no last name.
  3. Speak your email subject with tag and text
    1. Say “Send an email to Evernote”
    2. Siri will ask you for a subject to the email.
    3. Say the subject line of the email including “hashtag blogpost” if you want to add the tag “blogpost” to the note. You can obviously choose your own tags for your note creation.
    4. Siri will then ask for the text of the email.
    5. Siri will ask you to approve the email – Reply with “Send” if it’s correct.
