Gourmet Tips :
Evernote has the ability to be super simple or incredibly complex . Getting started with Evernote should be about focusing on the basics and using it for only one or two key purposes as you get familiar with it . Once you start to find your way around and get comfortable , you can begin to consider using Evernote in more complex ways .
It is important to remember that all software is complicated when we first start using it . Make a commitment to using Evernote for at least one month . If you still find you struggle to understand how it works and make sense of it , then you can say you tried .
One of the biggest challenges to productivity improvements is that it takes time to make time . A small investment to learn a new program or incorporate a new skill can reap significant time savings over the long run .
