hey! ive recently started using evernote and i need some inspiration! could you maybe talk about it a little bit more or maybe give an example of a couple of notebooks youve created? thanks!
Hello! Well, let’s see. I have many different notebooks - notably a Misc one which is a catch-all for all the notes, mostly on-the-go, which don’t fit anywhere else.
I have a notebook for book reviews, where I jot down some notes about a book I’m reading to write a coherent review later on. I have a notebook for various recipes from my mother, my aunt, my best friend; a notebook for places I find which I might want to visit later on (I know there’s specific apps for that, but I like it this way).
And then, the two main ones: my university stack and my writing stack.
In my university stack, I have three notebooks: one for various information about uni (bureaucratic stuff mainly), one for notes of the current year (inside of which I have notes for each course which I update with each lesson, separating them with a line and inserting the date on top), and one last notebook where I keep old notes. If you’re a student, this is incredibly helpful when studying and revising, as you can look up any term you need in the search bar; also, on the day of the exam, I always end up revising notes on my phone.
In my writing stack, I have separate notebooks for every project. Inside every notebook I have separate notes for plot, structure, character inspiration, themes, worldbuilding, and various scenes. (I do the writing over on Google Docs).
I hope this was of some help!
