One of the coolest things about Evernote is its robust search function, it's very powerful. You can sort by title, date created, date updated et cetera. You can also change how you sort your notes.
There are several different views for the notes, you can choose to view them as cards, as snippets which is my preference or as a list.
So if you're standing in line at the supermarket and you have a great idea for your new book or article you can record it right into the Evernote app in your phone and it will be here on your desktop waiting for you when you get back.
And they all sync across all your devices. Notes can be in the form of text, pictures, web clippings or audio recordings. You can have as many notebooks as you want which are here, and within each notebook you can have as many notes as you want, which are here. Think of it as replacing every ready, earmarked, coffee-stained notebook that you have stacked up in your closet, bedside, drawer, bag and car. The problem of course is finding it later, not to mention the much larger problem, what if you lose that notebook? Enter Evernote, what is Evernote?

How many of you have boxes or cabinets or drawers full of notebooks? How many of you carry a notebook around with you wherever you go in case brilliance strikes while you're waiting in line at the supermarket. Then I waited for another 10 minutes while she leapt through every page of that notebook. "Great," I said, "Let's hear it." I waited in her kitchen for about 20 minutes while she rifled through about a dozen different notebooks in three different boxes before she found the notebook she was looking for. Why you need Evernote? Tell me if this scenario sounds familiar? I was hanging out with one of my author friends the other day, and she wanted to tell me about a book idea she had and get my thoughts on it. I might provide some information on how to get the most out of it that you haven't heard or tried before. If you've never heard of Evernote you're in for a treat. One of the best organizational tools for writers that I found is an app called Evernote. If your brain is too busy trying to put things in order and remember where you put stuff, there's less processing power available to actually write the words. That's why I included the hack about keeping your writing space clean and organized. (gentle music) - A big part of being more productive is being more organized.
