The individual notes within each notebook catalog my ideas with ease. At the very least, if I misplace the physical copy, the backup saves me from doing extra work. Even when I use a physical planner or calendar to record important dates, such as exam dates and assignment deadlines, creating a backup in Evernote prevents disaster. Keeping distinct notebooks for each course helps me stay organized. What was once a stack (or, let’s be real, a misshapen pile) of spiral-bound paper is now much more manageable. My note-taking strategies haven’t changed (I still group my notes by article and then mark my observations with bullet points), but my organization has improved. Here’s what one of my notebooks looks like now: Because the notes are stored in a single app, I no longer worry about losing important notes from a meeting or flipping through dozens of notebooks to study for exams. Then I found Evernote:Įvernote is a note-taking app that allows me to create and sync notes (whether typed, recorded, or photographed) across my devices. In my case, I used to shove my notes into a drawer, where they were promptly lost and forgotten.
I see it everywhere–the caricature of frazzled academics taking notes on endless scraps of paper, a trail of ideas flying behind them in the wind.
