So here are some tips on how I use Evernote to remember everything that I think is worth remembering. But it wasn’t until I discovered Evernote that I recognized the possibility of “remembering everything” the way that I wanted to. In 2005, I moved to electronic diaries in the form of blogs and other things. I once tried to go back and put them into electronic format, typing each entry into the computer but it turned out to be too much of a chore. If something happened to the diaries, that was it. The second drawback was that there was no backup. When I needed to go find something, it often took a while. They were handwritten in small print without any index or thought or organization. The first drawback was that they were not easy to search. From 1996 through 2004 my diaries were all paper and that had some drawbacks: Over the years, it became a very useful reference for me. At the time, I really had only one goal for keeping a diary: to have a record of when things in my life happened relative to one another.
I never recorded anything that I wouldn’t want anyone else to see.
Naturally, my diary was in the same style as his: a daily accounting of my social and writing activities. I was inspired to do so by my favorite writer, Isaac Asimov, who kept a diary from the time he turned 18 until his death at 72. Back in early 1996, I started keeping a diary. One of the first things that attracted me to Evernote as a tool for going paperless was its slogan, “Remember Everything.” I’d been trying to do just that for fifteen or sixteen years.
