I’m a proud Evernote user and Evernote Certified Consultant. I too once was mystified by it until my friend and client @cassmetz taught me how to use it.

Tomorrow I’ll return to Portland, OR for work - one of my favorite American cities. Being one of America’s best food towns, I’m already thinking about where I want to eat. Luckily, I’ve recorded every single restaurant I’ve eaten at starting with my 3 trips to Portland last year.

Last week I was walking through Trader Joe’s when I stopped in my tracks upon sight of an exotic, elusive ingredient - freeze dried raspberries.  "Huh", I thought, "I know I’ve been wanting to find these, but for the life of me I can’t remember why." 

To make a long story short, due to an HVAC install gone bad, we came home one night to a torrential downpour in our downstairs bedroom. The rug and hardwood were under an inch of water and it was rising fast. Thanks to Evernote, I was able to search “Rock Creek Gardens Emergency” which brought up the very page of my community’s 90+ page PDF handbook that I keep in Evernote.

This week, Brand Strategist, friend & client, Melanie Spring and I chatted in her Kickass Humans Club Facebook page on all things Evernote for managing your content ideas, testimonials, "micro-bookkeeping" and so much more.
