This Sunday Sandy Morin did a presentation on Evernote.  We went through introduction to Evernote videos and got an overall perspective on how to use Evernote in our daily and business lives.  Go to the side bar on the right and click on Evernote Training Video under the HELP VIDEOS section for a review. 

Glen Munro of Brain Diesel usually does videos on Microsoft stuff, but he was so impressed with Evernote, he decided to share with us some of the powerful ways that Evernote can help us in our busy lives.

Sandy later walked us thru the steps of creating an account, creating a note, how to add an image from your Camera Roll or one you just took.  We reviewed some of the settings within Evernote and also were shown how to use your Evernote Upload email address so that you can send emails to your Evernote account and then put them into Notebooks.

We also heard a Video/Audio lesson on why you should set up Notebooks and a bit of a strategy on the subjects contained within a Notebook by Dr. Brad Semp the founder of Busyness.com and creator and host of the Busyness TV show.

 After watching and listening to the videos we had a work session on creating an ID and password, creating notes, creating notebooks, sending emails, and how to put some information that can be retrieved at any time from any device you have placed the Evernote application on.

 

Next week we will continue with Evernote and go into Tagging and the many ways you can add information into Evernote and how to search for it later.  We will again have a work session to put our new knowledge to work.

Hopefully everyone is checking daily the Apps Gone Free link that is located on the right under LINKS.  These apps are not free forever; some of them are only a free for a limited time or just one day!  So be sure to check it once a day, maybe when you check your mail, get in the habit, you can save a lot of money and gain new areas of interest.

App of the Week

Also I would like to introduce a special app of the week.  This week (Sunday March 10) one of the apps which was free is ActMonitor.  This app keeps eye on your device usage (works on iPhone as well as iPad), battery usage and based on your charge, how many minutes you have available etc.  Try it, it can tell you a lot about your iPhone or your iPad.
