The Jerry Seinfeld Method of Productivity

One of the ways I do that is by using Evernote to track my habit streak. I am a pen and paper girl at heart, and so it was harder for me to get into the habit of opening an app and using it consistently.īut the thing that finally caused me to become a daily Evernote devotee is when I figured out that I could use Evernote to keep track of my hobbies and interests, not just boring paperwork. I admit, while Donnie was all in on Evernote from the beginning, it took me a little longer to get on board. It had all of the features we were looking for and has stood the test of time– we’ve been using it for over a decade now! 2- Use a streak in Evernote to start a new habit.

We did tons of research and tested many, many apps and solutions for maintaining a digital filing cabinet, and Evernote was our favorite by far. (Both of those scenarios have actually happened to me, by the way. If I’m at the mechanic and don’t have the correct insurance card in my glove compartment? I can pull up my current insurance information in Evernote and get it to the mechanic right away. If I’m at the doctor’s office and realize I’ve forgotten an important piece of medical paperwork? I can pull it up in Evernote and email it to the doctor within seconds. Not only does our digital filing cabinet completely eliminate paper clutter from our house, it also allows us to securely access all of our most important documents anytime, from any location, in just a few clicks. ( You can learn more about the scanning apps we use, along with the other tools that come in handy when maintaining our digital filing cabinet, in this post.) Rather than keeping our medical paperwork, insurance information, bills, financial papers, and more in an overstuffed filing cabinet, we scan it all using an app on our phones and file it digitally in Evernote.
