untilThis coming Tuesday I'm going to be giving a talk to 150+ students at the University of Pretoria. The goal of the talk is to get students thinking about their long term purpose and goals, and how keeping their digital lives organised (using a system like Evernote) can facilitate that success. Onwards and upwards!

Evernote is already used by many as a study, research, and creative tool. Its power as a learning acquisition tool could be drastically increased with an incremental learning tool; currently, the only other company using this method is the famed Supermemo, but its interface is far less developed than Evernote. I suggest adding an "incremental reading" option to the web-clipper tool, whereby one can highlight important text right within the web-page window, and when saved, it's grouped into a separate incremental reading notebook that provides prompts on when to continue reading articles at the place you left off. Incremental reading is one of the most powerful learning tools available to date--surprisingly, not many people know about this. Essentially, incremental reading is a method of breaking extensive knowledge resources down into component parts that can be assimilated into long-term memory in small increments. Rather than reading a twenty-page research article in a single sitting, one could break that into smaller 5-minute bites spread over a few weeks. This approach leverages the concept of "spaced repetition," which has been scientifically proven to drastically improve knowledge consolidation and recall. You can read more about incremental reading and spaced repetition here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_reading -
I use Evernote mostly for academic purposes. Frequently, I will add random thoughts as notes. I often need to synthesize those ideas and other notes from research that I've done. I'd benefit greatly if Evernote had "space" to synthesize information. Optimally, I'd be able to do an Evernote search, and as I review the notes, I could highlight/send snippets into a mind-map-style synthesis space (the snippets would be hyperlinked to the original note for more context). I could then, within that space, organize these snippets, draw, create links between the snippets with explanations, add free text, etc. The outcome would be new ideas helpful for my project. I've got a ton of information in Evernote, but I lack the "creative space" to use them efficiently. Thoughts?

What if Leonardo da Vinci was alive today and he had access to a powerful tool like Evernote. How would he use it? http://upyourimpact.com/how-would-leonardo-da-vinci-use-evernote/ Da Vinci, one of the world’s most brilliant artists, inventors and explorers, was also one of history’s most prolific note takers. He carried a notebook everywhere with him to record his ideas, impressions and observations in words and elaborate drawings. My gut feeling, based on what is known about da Vinci’s passion for learning and exploration, is that he would embrace Evernote’s many capabilities to fully to capture, enhance and bring even more of his remarkable ideas to fruition.
