Malcolm Gladwell on the topic of creativity and embracing chaos. This is one of the reasons I like Evernote. It affords you the opportunity to dump a bunch of messy and seemingly unrelated stuff into one place.

"There’s a lot of psychobabble surrounding the reasons behind why people have messy desks, but the real reason is much simpler than explanations offered by personal organizing gurus. People are using their desks as to do lists. They keep paperwork on their desks are reminders of what they have to do with it. We want to create a system that makes haphazard reminders unnecessary."

Evernote E-Mail Relay Station
#evernote #email #productivity
E-mailing to Evernote is a slick feature but the e-mail address you get may be a bit difficult to remember. Oh sure, you can save it as a contact but what if you want to remember it on the fly or provide it to someone very quickly (without looking at anything?) Answer: Set up your own custom relay station. By owning your own domain name, you can create a custom e-mail address and then “point” that address to another address of your choosing. This makes it easy then to create a short and memorable address (e.g. note@customdomain.com) for e-mail you want forwarded to your Evernote default notebook. So when you are at that holiday party and someone mentions that they’ve got an article “you just have to read,” you can say, “Great … Send it to me at this address …”

Tag Triangulation
There is no doubt the search functionality of Evernote is the feature that catches the attention of many. The ability to successfully search for a needle in a digital haystack is incredibly appealing. With that said, the addition of tags to any item stored adds a level of richness to the data that can make future searches for information even more interesting and compelling. How many tags should be added to a given entry then? That’s the kind of question one wrestles with when they know they’re sitting on a huge productivity gain but don’t want to squander it on unnecessary keystrokes. Rather than rely on notebooks (and inevitably folders,) to sort information, the case being made here is for “tag triangultion.” That’s right. Three tags. No more. No less. While this seems fairly easy at face value, the process of adding them typically involves subtraction. And that perhaps, is where the additional value to your information is created.
