Evernote 101
Create a load of folders for things you might like to save
EG
Money
Lists
Children
Personal
Car
Travel
Food
I also have a default general folder called "Inbox"
You can save photos, type in text, send emails to yourself, save web pages.
You should be ale to find your Evernote email address which will be some string of random letters numbers and your username. Save this to your contacts list.
Then when you see something on line you can email it to yourself.
There is also a web clipper which allows you to save web pages directly to evernote at the touch of a button but possibly a bit too advanced for you just yet!
I use it as a brain dump. Image in a paper magazine or article in a newspaper? Take a photo and save to Evernote.
Planning a holiday or just looking for ideas? Email all ideas to Evernote or clip web pages and save to travel folder. Also email boarding cards and reservation emails to evernote so that they are available on the move.
It's amazing, I luffs it.
