Information management, pt. 1
This is a quick post, as you may notice there is a new “Notebook”:http://preview.evernote.com/pub/lstoll/public/ option in the sidebar. I’ve decided to open up some of my notes from now on in a public format, because a lot of the good stuff is there - useful information, that I never get time to write up. So check it out, and beware - it can be pretty raw. Big props to “evernote”:http://evernote.com for this - their new beta is a pretty good notetaking app in its own right, but combined with the online service and syncing - it becomes awesome, and makes something like this possible. I also plan on integrating search with it somehow.
Which leads me on to one of my favorite topics - information management. I seem to go through so much information and generate so many notes it’s not funny, and trying to look after it is difficult. I’ve settled on Evernote and EagleFiler for now. Evernote is great for note taking and jotting things down wherever I am, and EagleFiler works well for storing larger documents, manuals etc. I also use a bunch of other tools around this - I plan on writing up some more of my processes here real soon, so keep an eye out. Also, if you have any tools or methods you find indispensable please let me know - I’d love to hear.
