What is evernote and how to use it productively?

I often call and my subscribers to keep a diary.

Beautiful notebook in which you will record not only the to-do lists, but also your ideas, important dates, work reports, etc.

I have this and even - not one, that makes my life more organized.

And yet, keeping notes on the old-fashioned way in notepad has one serious drawback - sometimes it is difficult to find there quickly what is needed.

Yes, and handbags are not always suitable for wearing large Talmud.

How happy I was when I found out that there is an evernote that this is a great program that can be downloaded not only to a computer, but also to a smartphone.

What is evernote?

Evernote is a web service for working with notes.

And, under the notes, we mean not only the file typed in a text editor, but also handwritten text( scanned and recognized with a special program or read from the screen by the movements of the pen tip), audio files, video files and even entire Web pages.

That is, you are practically not limited in the choice of tools.

Files of any type you can group as you like( by dates, by subject, by name, etc.) to find what you need as quickly as possible.

Invented such a unique web service by Stepan Pacikov, a world-famous programmer who developed a program that can recognize handwritten symbols and is still used by the US postal service.

The first version of the web service became available to users in 2008.

The great advantage of evernote is that it can be used not only on computer, but also on mobile platforms: Microsoft Windows, Chrome OS, BlackBerry, Android and others.

Thrifty people will be happy to know that this program is distributed in two versions: paid and free.

The latter, however, has very limited functionality and a limited number of notes and notebooks, but to get to know evernote it will be enough for you.

And then you can decide for yourself, stay on the free version or go to a paid one.

Types of accounts evernote

To date, there are four types of accounts evernote, one of which is free, but for the right to use the other three will have to pay a larger or smaller amount.

Both paid and free versions will allow you to share your notes and notebooks with other users, if you so choose.

However, if you want someone other than you to work with notes, and not just look at them, you'll have to choose one of three paid versions.

Account types:

1. Evernote Basic.

   This is an account for which you do not need to pay.

   This is its plus, but the disadvantage is that each of the notes can not be more than 25 MB, and your monthly traffic rate is 60 MB.

2. Evernote Plus.

   Here already the size of each of your notes can be not less than 50 Mb, and for a month in use you get traffic for 1 GB.

   It is very convenient to use this account for correspondence, since you get the right to send up to 200 emails.

   Alas, for this advanced account you need to pay about 100 rubles a month.

3. Evernote Premium.

   Even more perfect account with unlimited monthly traffic and enough loyal conditions to the size of one note: 200 MB.

   In addition to the ability to send emails, you can use such functions as: handwriting recognition, scanning, etc.

   In addition, it is sufficiently protected from hacking.

   Pay for this pleasure will be from 200 rubles a month.

4. Evernote Business.

   This type of account is chosen by company owners, because it allows you to create a single grid for all employees with different levels of access.

   In addition, the requirements for the size of the note or the amount of traffic are not put forward.

   For such unlimited possibilities it is necessary to pay not less than 350 rubles( and this is for each employee).

How to use evernote?

To begin with, you need to make sure that your computer or mobile device supports the platform on which evernote works.

Then you go to the official site, download the program to your computer or laptop.

Once you have downloaded the program on your computer or phone - run it and create your own account( if you have decided to limit yourself to the simplest version of the program and not pay for it, then choose "create a free account").

If you did everything correctly, then a nice label evernote will appear in your bottom panel( in the same place next to the clock).

Then start creating notes.

It's very easy to work with them, even a beginner will understand without any problems.

How to develop visual memory to the ideal?

Working with evernote is somewhat similar to working in a standard text editor: you type text, choose letter size, font, get the ability to insert pictures, hyperlinks, etc.

If you really have a hard time mastering new programs, then you can read the official website of the manufacturer about creating notes.

Advantages of using evernote

This program is really very convenient to work with, and you can see for yourself if you are not too lazy and upload it to your computer or phone.

In my opinion, its main advantages are as follows:

• Availability of a free version.

  You do not need to immediately shell out to understand if this web service is suitable for you or not.

  And for the further operation of the free version is enough.

• The ability to organize your notes on different folders( notebooks) to make it easier to find the information you need.
• Ability to work not only with text files, but also video, photo, audio, etc.
• The presence of such a function as "open access for another user", which is very convenient for partnerships.
