Evernote -- Help setting up a paperless reference filing system that i can use

[Zoltan]

I use Evernote for general reference, as well as for my Larger Outcome lists, checklists, and reference lists.

The beauty of Evernote is that it's easy to use, easy to search, and syncs to all of your devices. You don't have to worry about organizational systems, because every word is searchable. Yes, you can use tags (which I do sparingly) and Notebooks (which are useful for keeping things together that you want to see together), but these are not necessary. They are useful options.

You can also take pictures of things (wine bottles, magazine articles, etc.), record audio, or use existing pics.

It's one of my favorite and most used apps.

What sorts of things go on your Larger Outcome lists? Are these projects or actions?

I use tags in Evernote as a weekly review/mind dump tool. The latest version makes scanning the list of tags much easier since I can view them in alpha order or by number of files tagged. Love it.

My Areas of Focus list & any other longer term goals or outcomes, as well as any purpose, mission or vision statements.

Yes, the latest version of Evernote has some great improvements making finding & organizing your things so easy. It's a great tool & app.

Although I use Evernote, most of my project support files are in Dropbox, organized by areas of focus. This works very well for me. I use Evernote almost exclusively for reference material from the Internet. It's a bit surprising to me how paperless I am; the only scanning I do is of older published articles to put in Zotero, an article/reference manager.

I use both applications and both made a A-Z reference filing but abit confused which one to use for which. I was going to use dropbox for long term referencing and evernote as a collection reference tool. Is this right? or is there a better way of doing things ?
