organisation, kinda

[eleanorjane]

I'm training myself to use Evernote every time there's info I want to save. I've had an account since 2008, but I've only really started using it, so I'm still trying to integrate it into my organisational habits.

Today's revelation is that it's awesome for saving recipes.

I kind of want to store all my fanfic bookmarks (and attach clipped copies of the fic itself) in there too, but I suspect that would cause me to go way over my monthly quota. Plus then fandom-related tags would overwhelm every other part of the taxonomy. I shall keep Pinboarding for now, but it's a tempting idea. I'd never have to worry about dead links, and I'd be able to read fic on any device without needing an internet connection... but I have so many bookmarks to migrate it seems like a mammoth task.

I went looking for some kind of recipe app for my Kindle and everything was all about that apps stored recipes and shopping lists, where I just wanted an easy way to load recipes from blogs onto my Kindle. I read someone's post about Evernote and tried it and it's fantastic. If you get the Evernote Web Clipper plug in, it's ridiculously easy to save online recipes.

Yeah, the Web Clipper is magic.

I've also been using Evernote to save a copy of everything I post to Facebook. Facebook is *so bad* at archival, and I'm sick of rummaging for "that thing I know I posted three months ago, what was it?".
