Using Evernote
For a while now I have been using the "Sticky-notes" program that comes with Windows 7 and find that it's a handy place to quickly jot down an idea for later use. There is so much input these days from a variety of sources that capturing the things you want to retain is difficult without a versatile tool. But these notes are computer specific.
This week I started using Evernote. Evernote is a free program that has been around for a few years. You can download it on your smart phone and on any computers or laptops you use. For instance, if you are in a restaurant and want to remember the ingredients of a particular dish you can take a picture of the menu item and email it to your Evernote email address. Later when you access Evernote on the web and log-in, the menu photo is there and all of your other ideas are handy, as well as any pictures or pdf files you've already sent to Evernote.
Here is a video of how I went about capturing an idea that I wanted to give some more thought to.
