I might also stick a note about it on my calendar. But the calendar note would be separate from the document itself and if I saw the note on the calendar, I’d still have to go hunt for the document somewhere. Without Evernote, I might toss a copy of the document in a pile on my desk, with a Post-It note reminding me when it was due.

Let’s say I get a document in the mail on which some future action needs to be taken–car registration, for example. I have written about this feature before, but it is worth re-emphasizing it here. One of the great features of Evernote is that it allows reminders in context. Fortunately, I don’t need that feature as part of my to-do list system because it is built into Evernote, and I use the reminder features there extensively. It works well for me, but it has one significant drawback: there is no easy way to do reminders in my system. I make use of a very simple to-do list manager that consists entirely of plain text files. And so today I’m back with a post on how I use Evernote to remind me of everything.

I decided that I would only write new Going Paperless posts when I had a good idea. Several months ago, I ended the regularly scheduled series of Going Paperless posts, with the emphasis on “regularly.” I felt that I was beginning to stretch the ideas I was writing about.
