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.
