I found that the new Shortcut feature is essentially bookmarking. So I updated my app and started messing with it. Of course, I only found sites (including Evernote’s release page) announcing that the Evernote app now had shortcuts, but they didn’t say how to actually create/use them.
I thought maybe I could create shortcuts on my home screen for my saved searches, which would make the app less painful to use. I did my usual skim of such emails, but before I quickly archived it, I noticed it said something about shortcuts. I received an Evernote newsletter this morning which announced the new version (5) of their Android app. I need something right in my face to remember to do it, and with the Android app, it takes too long to get to the saved searches. My initial plan was to use my saved searches (“~Groceries”, “~Home”, etc.) in Evernote’s Android app to view my action lists, but I haven’t been doing it. When I’m away from my laptop, I never remember to view my lists in Evernote. It’s the non-work actions that are difficult. I’m on my laptop all day at work, so it’s easy for me to remember to open the Evernote desktop application to view my work actions. I’m using Evernote to track everything I want to get done, so if I don’t remember to look at my ‘~Groceries’ saved search, those groceries won’t be picked up.
Here's how I do it.My biggest obstacle to getting things done with Evernote is forgetting to look at my action lists.
A good One Note way to skin this cat is to put all your car maintenance records on a single page in a table and attach the receipts right there. So categorizing and tagging your receipts on a one-note-per-receipt basis works great in Evernote because of it's more robust tagging. People have their preferences and both have big disadvantages and advantages and I think should be used how they are strong, not weak. Like I could put various pics, outlines, todo lists, sketches, and tables on one OneNote page that would take me a handful of Evernote pages to do. OneNote really shines in being able to make more intricate individual pages to help you keep your info sorted. Evernote is much better when used as a collection of fairly simple notes that can be filed and retrieved using a combo of metadata (tags, dates, etc). OneNote's tagging isn't nearly as good as Evernote's in terms of filtering and adding alternative hierarchies to look at your stuff.
