Very nice work Christopher! I just surfed 6-8 different video tutorials on Evernote. Only one other came even close to yours in quality. The guy with 36,000 views took 9 minutes and 200 “ums” to tell me alot less. Thanks for something quality. Hope this goes viral for you!

Thanks for the reply, Kent. I love Evernote, and I’m always finding new ways to use it. My wife sews, and the way she uses Evernote makes me think of even more ways of using it as a writer.
I tried keeping the video short, and I think Toastmasters has beaten any “uhms” out of me! 🙂
Take care, and thank you again for the reply.

Hey, Christopher, I really appreciate your video on Evernote–short and to the point. I used to have Evernote years ago and didn’t really know what to do with it, but now that I have a smartphone and laptop, I see how versatile it can be. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Claire. I loved Evernote from the first time I saw it, but it wasn’t until showing it to my wife — who is far more organized than I am — that I really saw how I can use it as a writer. While she is a historical costumer, seeing how she laid it all out clicked with me. I know some other people have set up Evernote to capture things according to the Getting Things Done method.
Once you figure out how Evernote can work for you, it’s a wonderful thing. Glad my post and video helped!
