Do More with Evernote. I'll Show You How.💚

Friendly reminder: I don't work for Evernote. Read my story here. Hi Reader – Information overload is a real productivity killer. Between emails, documents, web pages, and notes scattered across different apps and platforms, finding what you need when you need it becomes increasingly challenging. The solution? Centralize your information in one trusted place. And here's the good news - Evernote is widely recognized as having the strongest capture capabilities in the productivity tool market....

Reminder: I don't work for Evernote. Read my story here. Hi Reader – Evernote’s sharing got a major upgrade. For years, sharing notes outside of Evernote came with frustrating limitations — formatting issues, clunky permissions, and a poor experience for non-Evernote users. That’s recently changed. Evernote’s revamped sharing system finally lets you: ✅ Share notes that look exactly as they do in your account✅ Control who can view or edit—including non-Evernote users✅ Update permissions...

Hi Reader – Last week, we explored one of Evernote’s biggest feature releases ever — Spaces. In case you missed it, catch up here. It’s a huge feature because Spaces introduce an entirely new way to structure your work, unlocking more flexibility and organization options than ever before. Since Spaces launched, Evernote Academy members have been buzzing with ideas — from creating project dashboards to organizing writing research to managing meal planning. All the questions and ideas I’m...

Hi Reader – Although Evernote released 100 new features and improvements in 2024, none were bigger than Spaces, which debuted just days before the ball dropped to welcome in 2025. Spaces introduce a completely new layer of organization to individual accounts — making it one of the biggest updates in Evernote’s history. While currently in beta (with features like sharing still in development), Spaces unlock exciting opportunities for organizing your account. With no documentation released yet...

Hi Reader – Last week, I shared three of my favorite Evernote features from 2024 that didn’t make their top 10 list. This week, I’m highlighting three more tools I use every day to streamline my workflows, stay organized, and save time. These favorites are long-awaited improvements — the kind of changes we Evernote users have been asking for over the years. Evernote’s updates in 2024 weren’t just about new features—they also focused on making existing tools better. These “Quality of Life”...

Hi Reader – Last week, we explored Evernote's featured "Top 10" highlights from their 2024 improvements. While those were impressive, some of my personal favorite features from their complete list of 100 enhancements weren't among the top ten. Today I’ll share three features released in 2024 that I use all the time to stay organized and productive. Feature 1: Open Note in New Window I like this feature so much that I dedicated a newsletter to it back in September. Being able to open a note in...

Hi Reader – Evernote took big strides in 2024, unveiling 100 improvements that pushed the platform’s functionality and personalization to new heights. But which changes truly stand out? Which ones could reshape how you work—and which ones still need some fine-tuning? As an Evernote Certified Expert with years of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how tools can transform workflows. One advantage of not working for Evernote is that I can give you my honest take on everything. And commenting on the...

Hi Reader – One productivity practice I embrace at the end of each year is choosing a word (or phrase) to represent my high-level focus for the year ahead. For 2025, I've chosen "Do things differently. Get different results." Why this phrase? Although I’m satisfied with how my 2024 went, I’m clear that if I handle next year the same way I did this year, I’ll likely achieve the same results. I have bigger goals for 2025 than I did for 2024. So I need to be open to new approaches and habits in...

Hi Reader – Evernote users tell me all the time: “I want to use Evernote for tasks, but I keep bouncing between tools.” Even with the Evernote Tasks feature set expanding (great leaps were made in 2024 – see highlights below), I hear concerns that it's not as powerful as dedicated third-party task managers. This perceived limitation holds many back from fully adopting Evernote for their task management workflows. It’s a common struggle — and a good one to reflect on at the start of a new...
