I am a tagger. I tag notes in Evernote and I apply OpenMeta tags to my documents in OS X. It may seem odd, I often do not recommend that people get too into tagging their documents[1]. I find that people are either “taggers” or they are not, and when they are not it adds […]
Continue readingRecently there have been a number of interesting posts outlining how various tech folks use Evernote.

Continue readingI don’t normally post what amounts to the exact same blog post two days in a row, but I had multiple requests for a video for yesterday’s Evernote Handwritten Note Workflow post, so here you go.
