Are you looking to improve your productivity as we swing back into fall? I strongly recommend Evernote, as does the ever-helpful Lifehacker, in this useful post.
Evernote is a dynamic, networked storage application, part notepad, part inbox, part storage box. It’s an application you download for local use on your desktop, and it syncs with an online web site, so you can have access to all of your notes from anywhere. You can link together documents, pdfs, photos, music files, videos, anything. You can clip pieces of web pages to save for future reading, and this is my favorite feature; I have the habit of creeping tab clutter, because I find so many different things I want to read or leave open until I have time to think about it. Evernote allows me to clip it, tag it, store it in a notebook to help me find it again. Among other things, it’s extremely useful to me for organizing news articles and online resources that I may want to use in my classes.
