| DrFrankBuck | A1 After upgrading to Premium, I am making much better use. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:18:06 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a3 using @alfredapp to switch between simplex and duplex scans. Don’t do much annotation. @scansnap is the bomb! Love my iX500! #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:21:47 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A3 For items from a book or one pagers, I usually use my phone’s camera inside @evernote #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:21:58 +0000 2016 |

| DrFrankBuck | A4 Date/time stamp is my favorite @evernote shortcut. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:26:18 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a4 I use Ctrl+Cmd+M a lot to move to folders. I’d love a keyboard shortcut for move to the last place again. Also use Cmd+delete #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:27:10 +0000 2016 |

| DrFrankBuck | A4 @rsidneysmith I just learned a second way to do the date/time. Interesting #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:31:12 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A5 I have an @evernote widget on the phone, so I tap creates a new note. Hitting the mic key lets me record voice to text. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:33:17 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a5 I actually do more capture with text. also I send a lot of emails to @evernote. just got @postbox 5 which has save to EN button #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:33:22 +0000 2016 |

| DrFrankBuck | A5 One of my favorites is using the Windows sniping tool to grab a piece of something and paste into @evernote #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:34:49 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | @rsidneysmith @evernote @Postbox 5 is a huge leap forward – been on it about a week and about to plunk down some $ for the upgrade #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:35:18 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a6 i went down the stacks and notebooks path for a while. Now down to inbox, archive, receipts folders and a lot of tagging. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:36:21 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A6 I rely heavily on notebooks and try to have the naming configuration parallel my OneDrive file structure. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:36:39 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A6 The stack called Current Projects houses all notebooks related to things that are in progress. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:38:05 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A6 I use tags primarily as dividers within a notebook. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:38:41 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | . @rsidneysmith Amen to good note titling. In some ways lessens the need for tags. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:39:58 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | @DrFrankBuck with @Trello I can link directly to the @evernote note from the card(s) in a project, so I don’t have to mimic … #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:40:18 +0000 2016 |
| prodchat | RT @DrFrankBuck: . @rsidneysmith Amen to good note titling. In some ways lessens the need for tags. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:40:26 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | @DrFrankBuck the structure, just do proper tagging to support searching later #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:40:40 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A7 @TaskClone connects @evernote to @toodledo #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:40:59 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a7 @taskclone, @trello, @ifttt, @zapier #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:41:37 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A7 For example, meetings notes in @evernote may include to-do items. Putting a checkbox in front of that sends it to task list #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:42:55 +0000 2016 |
| prodchat | RT @DrFrankBuck: A7 @TaskClone connects @evernote to @toodledo #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:43:19 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A7 @IFTTT absolutely!! #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:43:36 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | @rsidneysmith So that’s without @TaskClone or @IFTTT? @rememberthemilk #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:45:59 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a8 i manage all of that in @Trello even if there is a pointer back to @evernote note or card was from @taskclone #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:47:09 +0000 2016 |
| wcmckeedotcom | A1: i use @ProjectJupyter for my notes. Evernote is not open/free, it’s restrictive, not run on my sys. #prodchat https://t.co/pn2suBIj2F | Thu Oct 13 00:48:15 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A8 I like the reminder feature. But, I find using a checkbox to make it create a task in @toodledo for the desired date is better #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:48:51 +0000 2016 |
| JKatzaman | @rsidneysmith @evernote In so many words, if not a task manager, what is Evernote’s prime purpose #ProdChat | Thu Oct 13 00:49:01 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | @JKatzaman For me, @evernote is for keeping reference info. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:49:58 +0000 2016 |
| wcmckeedotcom | A2: @ProjectJupyter can be built upon, allow remote connect, runs in web browser #prodchat https://t.co/dICwnNfV4T | Thu Oct 13 00:50:12 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A9 I do a good bit of sharing note links through email even if there other person does not use @evernote #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:51:15 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | @wcmckeedotcom @ProjectJupyter looks really interesting but at first blink (not even a glance) aimed at different uses than EN #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:51:18 +0000 2016 |
| wcmckeedotcom | A3: @ProjectJupyter able to embed media inside notebooks and manip #prodchat https://t.co/cNktq22p0G | Thu Oct 13 00:52:05 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A9 My wife just started using @evernote so the first thing I did was share the notebooks for each of our 3 dogs. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:52:47 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A9 #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:52:54 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | @DrFrankBuck @evernote now all you have to do is get the dogs to use EN! 😉 #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:53:37 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A9 That way she has all of record of vet visits, adoption info, etc. and can make additions #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:53:54 +0000 2016 |
| wcmckeedotcom | A4: @ProjectJupyter really don’t use a lot – paste of text, create new cell below. #prodchat https://t.co/trgUPedfN5 | Thu Oct 13 00:54:11 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a9 I don’t share much with @evernote except emailing a note as an attachment. Works nicely with notes that have a PDF attached. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:54:33 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | @macbikegeek That’s a great thought! I have though of creating an account for one of them to use as a demo. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:55:21 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A10 This is where I am working to get better. Search is so powerful. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:56:43 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a10 @evernote search box is excellent. Using @metasearch which is even faster and better. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:57:23 +0000 2016 |
| briandordevic | RT @macbikegeek: a10 @evernote search box is excellent. Using @metasearch which is even faster and better. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:57:54 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A10 One focus is saved searches. One example is a search that returns all new material added today. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 00:58:01 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | @rsidneysmith @evernote thanks, Ray, all! Great chat. #prodchat | Thu Oct 13 01:00:32 +0000 2016 |
