Learn how to use Evernote & Trello to get organized!

How many times have you:

• spilled coffee on your “To Do” List?
• lost your “To Do” List?
• discovered your child has drawn and colored on your “To Do” List
• spent hours search for an image you used in a blog post or a picture of something you’re making or designing?
• been totally frustrated because it feels like you just can’t find anything!

Sounds like it’s time to sharpen your organizational skills!

Evernote is a free app

You can use it on your smartphone, tablet and your computer.  It’s designed for note taking, organizing, task management, and keeping track of everything you could possibly imagine losing track of.

Think of a notebook that never runs out of paper!

I’ve used it for maybe 10 or so years and absolutely love it.  Yes, I’ve tried other Note Taking apps, but I keep coming back to Evernote.

Trello is also free

It’s an online corkboard. You use it to organize “cards” into lists—those cards can be tasks, notes, projects, shared files, or anything else that helps you stay organized.

I’ll be honest, I’ve only used Trello for the last couple of months (so I don’t know EVERYTHING about it).  But I love it!

When you use Evernote & Trello together, it’s magic!

Evernote holds all the written out details for a:

• blog post that you’re drafting
• pattern that your writing/designing
• project that you’re working on
• course you’re taking

Trello on the other hand, holds:

• the images for that blog post you’re drafting
• pictures of that pattern you’re designing
• important links for that project you’re working on
• a list of the courses you’re taking
