EVERNOTE Unlike most other organizing programs, which are modeled on a binder or file cabinet, Evernote mimics a long paper scroll. It's easy to learn and can replace the random scraps of paper distributed around your desk with digital notes that are searchable by date, keyword, category...
Sick of scribbling a grocery list on the go, only to lose it or change your mind by the time you make it to the store? Now a plethora of menus is just a click and a scroll away.
