I was surprised to learn that the author of Building a Second Brain, Tiago Forte, uses Evernote. I’m under no illusion that their method might not work for others. It’s interesting how people organise their lives.

I have watched hours and hours of YouTubers showing off their Personal Knowledge Management Systems (PKMs) and how they spend their time with the application of choice. If you’re interested in seeing all the recipes for Evernote, you can check them out here.I have looked at many notetaking apps out there on the market. If the reminder is in a notebook that I’ve linked to Todoist, it’ll show up as a to-do in Todoist.Įven if Evernote itself doesn’t do something, you can connect it to so many different apps to make it even better. When I make a note in Evernote, I can set a reminder to it. This is by far, my most used trick for Evernote. They also had a recipe (that’s what the connections are called) for Todoist, but recently Todoist and Evernote created a sync straight to one another. If you can’t find a recipe, you can easily create one. So, essentially, you could bookmark things with pocket and not have the app. You can use IFTTT to log meeting notes from Google Calendar, automatically forward emails with specific tags to Evernote, and if you use Pocket, IFTTT will create a PDF version and log it into Evernote. You can make a running list of links of articles you’ve added to buffer. It’ll create a note with information about each. There’s one for adding a list of homes that go on sale in your area. There’s so many things you can do with IFTTT that I don’t actually use.

I don’t check them often, but it’s better to have it just in case, right? A lot of these logs are created just in case I need them.

Instagram: Like fitbit, Instagram is creating a log of all the photos I post in Evernote. Step up your #evernote game with recipes from IFTTT, and here's some ideas on what to use both for. Every night, Fitbit creates a log in an Evernote binder and I’ll have access to it for, well, forever. Which I check constantly.įitbit: With IFTTT, I’ve created a running log of everyday I’ve had my fitbit. Because I’m not always checking Trello, I linked it to IFTTT, and now, whenever someone creates a new card or task for me in Trello, it’ll show up in my Evernote account. Trello: For my VA services, I have a Trello board with my clients. While you can use Evernote with hundreds of apps through IFTTT, I’m going to talk about the few I use. I’m dedicating a whole week to this on Evernote, because it has really helped automate my Evernote account. If you haven’t already, check this out, because it’s amazing. IFTTT is a web service that acts like a bridge between apps.
