May 25, 2017 8:20 amGreat post! My main use for Evernote is saving clips from online articles (using Evernote’s wonderful Web Cliipper), screenshots of pages from ebooks, and photos of book highlights from the paper books I read (I LOVE scannable).
When I first started using Evernote I thought it would be like having perfect recall of everything I wanted to remember, which is mostly stuff I read. And it was…for the first hundreds notes or so. The problem is that once you accumulate hundreds or thousands of notes (like me), the difference between saving something and not saving something is negligible. I drop a new note into my ocean of notes, soon forget about it, and it’s gone forever.
Evernote has great organizational tools, but my problem isn’t organization. It’s remembering all the stuff I organize.
Yesterday, someone pointed me to this post:

Intriguing.

May 25, 2017 9:26 amThanks for the feedback. You make a good point. It’s much like the public library. If you know what you are looking for, you can find it. as often as not, when I go to the shelf to retrieve the book, I see two more books right beside it that look interesting but had no idea there were there.
I have already added “Research crusoe.com” to my task list.
