Why did I ever get Evernote?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I find ervernote extremely user unfriendly and wonder why I ever got it.

One shouldn't have to study for hours to do he simplest things...

I agree. Personally, I didn't find Evernote difficult to use. But if you do, then yes, you should use something else.

Good luck.

Evernote can be difficult to understand and use at first.  You might find some of these resources helpful:

 

https://evernote.com/getting_started/

https://evernote.com/evernote/guide/mac/ (there are different guides depending on your OS)

 

If you have specific questions, there is a lot of information to be found in the forums if you are willing to spend a little time.

And, I'd like to add, rarely is it the case that the most powerful tools are also the simplest. Powerful and flexible tools take time to learn!

 

Addendum: That being said, powerful and flexible tools need high quality documentation! Something Evernote has not necessarily provided, though they appear to be working hard right now at remedying this... there's a long way to go.

If you have an actual question about Evernote, then someone here on the forums would be happy to try to answer it. 

 

If you have a question about your own personal motivations, then I'd advise you to look within.

 

If it was rhetorical, does that mean that you and Evernote aren't going out any more?

When you have digested all this you'll be half way to becoming a power user :)

At least a few of those resources have played a major role in how I use Evernote. This is a very good list.

Go ahead and try One Note.  If you think Evernote is hard to learn, try ON. 

 

I personally find Evernote an indispensable tool for life and work.  I had to do the full immersion thing to start, but now, am incredibly comfortable.  

Different strokes, 'eh?
