For those of you unfamiliar with the tool it is basically a way of organising notes across different devices. I have it on my laptop, my iPhone, my Samsung Tablet and at work I use it straight from their website. It is incredibly simple and it has saved me a tonne of time and kept some of my sanity intact.

For Torn I use it to keep track of my gambling, company profit, share prices, loans, big purchases, handy hints, formulas, links, you name it I probably keep it safe in Evernote.

Outside of Torn I use it for ideas, in fact I started writing this note first in Evernote whilst on a 7 hour car journey on my iPhone (with no internet), before then editing it from my tablet and finally putting it up on my website from my laptop. The only reason I thought of doing so was because I was reading through some old ideas I had for a short story, which prompted me to check some details of a loan I had given someone in Torn (the story was about a loan shark).

It’s so easy to get started – sign up first (if you use my Evernote referral link we both get extra features for free for a month).

Download the app and it will get you to log in, before taking you through a quick tutorial. I’ve whipped up a quick example of how you might use it to keep track of your bills and also start managing payroll.

  1. Go to the notebook section and select new notebook
    evernote_new_notebook
  2. Decide on a name for your new notebook
    evernote-bills
    At first you won’t have any notes, but we can fix that
  3. Click on New Note and one will appear
    evernote-new-note
  4. Start writing your note – if you don’t enter a title the first line of your note will become the title:
    evernote-first-line
  5. Done!

Now at this point you can install the app on your phone and take pictures of bills, receipts or anything else and create notes from those. If you pay for the premium version it automatically scans business cards and turns them into digital contacts, edit PDF and office documents and save emails directly into evernote. For more on business management, read this post with some of the benefits of using paystub maker.
