Evernote Dive

The month of July has been far more than I expected, however it didn't take me by surprise. I prepared for the amount of work that was ahead of me by getting my methods of organization well in order. I linked everything to the myriad of tools Google had available. From Docs, to Voice, to Mail of course, to Reader and News. I must say, with the barrage of work being given to me and the meetings I had to attend, I relied on Google to provide that cushion of stability, to keep me organized as best as I could be. Due dates and comments and directions on how to handle things, I tried to keep up with it, and thus far, as July winds down to a halt, I gotta give Google's applications' props for everything it helped me out with.

Now that props were given, I did notice that there were a few holes where I (or possibly google?) could have been more efficient. The user interface, or basically how I created those notes and calender updates and to-do lists, is something that could have been a bit more easier for me to get into that 'information cloud'. This is where mobile applications come in. I have an iPhone (as I haven't spoken on that enough), and it's a tool I rely on heavily, even though I have a work phone, that is just in use for email, and my laptop is good enough for this, and I also have access to webmail. Anyways, I could rant on about how google could have better iPhone apps and what not Vs. web apps, but I'd be wasting my breathe. I have decided to try out Evernote. I opened an account with Evernote a few months ago, but I never attempted to try and use the service/tool. After July, I was searching out note-taking tools and the similar. 'Don't Forget the Milk' is being used somewhat; it's integrated into gmail, and that's going well. But I'd like to just take Evernote for a spin and see if it can keep me organized, or better yet, to see if I can get it to keep me organized. Review to follow near months end (Augusto of course). Wish me luck~
