I started using EVERNOTE about six months ago. Since then it has proven to be a valuvale app that I have been using every day to capture notes on the run, organize files, and of lately, to outline current and future novel projects. BUT, although I was aware of some of the cool functions of the app, until I purchased this book the other day I hadn’t taken the time to really "dive into" what it is really capable of. MASTER EVERNOTE shows you all you need to know, and then some.I’ve read most of S.J. Scott’s stuff and, MASTER EVERNOTE is what you would expect from his books: a concise, well-written and informative book that provides value to the reader while adding a level of high quality to everyday living. MASTER EVERNOTE is another book highly recommended that provides the ins and outs of one of the most powerful apps in the market today.MASTER EVERNOTE works well for several reasons. Whether you are a novice to the “paperless lifestyle” of have been using EVERNOTE for awhile, their is enough info here for everybody. Because I’m a novice and still learning the ropes, I had more gain from it than some of the other more advanced users. Steve Scott takes you through the various functions of the app, from making simple notes to organizing notebooks to creating stacks. If you have various projects on the go [as many people do that requires several steps to complete, EVERNOTE as we learn is just the place to get everything organized. It is basically a central hub for all the “stuff” in your life to gather and get organized. From simple ideas to PDF documents, audio to photos,  it can all be amassed into one central location for easy access no matter where you may be on the planet. It doesn’t get any better than that. As a "notebook" addict I have been writing things down for years, and with stacks of notebooks lying around the house, it is easy to "forget" where you wrote down that greta idea you had while on vacation at the beach last summer. By implementing the ideas found in this book and making EVERNOTE a daily habit, I have eliminated the addictive need to keep massive amounts of notes hidden everywhere.INTEGRATING THE GTD SYSTEM [MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS BOOK!]I have been implementing DAVID ALLENS’S GTD [Getting Things Done] system for the last two years and absolutely love his system for organizing everything in your life to reduce stress and boost personal productivity. My favourite part o this book is how it shows us to integrate the two using the EVERNOTE platform. By doing this, you now have a complete “paperless” system to gather, analyze, and take action on anything that comes into your life. This is definitely the highlights of the book.To wrap things up the author gives us 75 ways to use EVERNOTE for many o the daily actions in our lives. By creating habits to take notes, make notebooks, add tags, or using the audio feature you can do everything from novel planning to organizing your next vacation in Fiji. And all without having to usue a single piece of paper, which saves time, space and money.Scott Allan
