Virtual Notebooks Help Reduce Digital Clutter
One of our favorite digital tools to reduce digital clutter and go paperless is a virtual notebook. In particular, we currently are enjoying feature-rich products such as Microsoft OneNote and Evernote. Not only do they sync with multiple devices so you can stay productive on-the-go, but they help organize digital notes, files, and information. Think of a virtual notebook exactly as it sounds – a notebook for you to jot down ideas, record important information, and reference for your notes – except there is no paper involved. Using a virtual notebook like OneNote or Evernote means your notes are compiled, rather than scattered among several documents, files, and folders. Since both of these tools sync to numerous types of devices, it is possible to reduce the need to send documents as email attachments. To collaborate, simply share parts of your notebooks with your family, friends, or co-workers to save time.
Here are just a few examples of ways to use a virtual notebook (these examples are based on using a tool such as Evernote, but can apply to Microsoft’s OneNote as well):
