In last post, I shared, why I use evernote. Today I'll share how I use evernote for better productivity.
As you know, evernote has both, folder and tagging options, we can save a document in a folder and tag them as we want.
In our computer hard drive, we can save documents in a folder but can't tag them.
Giving an example will clear your concept.
Suppose, we have created a folder in our computer hard drive named "Book". We save all our ebook in this folder. We can have different types of ebook, for example, for me, I've some books about my profession (which I've studied on-Civil Engineering), some books on computer such as, excel tutorial, autocad tutorial and some others software tutorial etc, some books about literature Nobel, Poem etc. I save them all in the Book folder. And want to categorise them as engineering, computer and literature. But I can't. But I'll able to do this in evernote. Because, evernote has tagging option.
Now lets see how we can do that in evernote. From above example, we'll create a folder in evernote named "Book". We can save all our ebook in this folder. Now if we want to categorise our ebook we can do that by tagging. We can create tag like Engineering, computer and literature.
That is just for example. I organise my document different way in evernote. Lets see how I do -
I've created three folders in evernote -
Inbox
Action Pending and
Cabinet
A short description of above folders -
Inbox: All my new documents, which I haven't tagged or organised yet, go to this folder. This is my primary folder. All my new documents and email which I want to save for later consideration go there. When I have free time, I give appropriate tag to those documents and send to Action Pending folder or delete, if I think I don't need those later.
Action Pending: The Documents, which need further action, I send to this folder from inbox. All documents in this folder needs further action. For example, an ebook, which I need to read later, goes into this folder.
Cabinet: I consider this folder as a file cabinet. Suppose, in office, we keep a file cabinet for keeping our files for future reference. This folder acts like that. For example, I have read an ebook, but want to keep that for future use, I keep that in this folder.
Those are my folders. The actual magic begins with tag. That I'll share in next post.
