1. Make Your Shopping List
Our household seems require a non-stop purchase. There are stuff to put in shopping list everyday but at the time we go to the store, that list has already gone. Create your weekly list in Evernote, share it with your partner or roommate, and everyone will be on the same page. You all can add items to the list as you think of them instead of risking forgetting and needing to make a return trip to the market.

2. Pay Attention To Your Relationship
We are luckily surrounded by many people who care for us. But sometimes we hurt them accidentally, forgetting significant details about them like birthday or favorite dish. When you learn new thing about someone you care, do not let it go with the time but keep it in Evernote: presents your friend wants or even snacks your sister hates. Be a considerate person. This also helps from being stuck as the last minute shopper.
3. Note Gift Ideas For Your Loved Ones
If you’re like me, you’ll come up with a brilliant gift idea for a loved one. But after jotting it down on a sticky note, I promptly lose it less than a week later. Create a notebook, with a new note for each person you love then you will never lose a good gift idea again. Bounce ideas between your family members is possible by sharing notes for your kids with your wife, for your wife with your kids, etc. As a bonus, create a list for yourself of stuff you’d like, share it with your family, and they’ll never run out of ideas for you.
4. Be In Time
Public places like stores, restaurants, doctors, and museums rarely have the same opening hours. So just take a picture of their opening hours, attaching a map and phone number then you could go to the right place at the right time.
5. Create A Cookbook
One of cool feature of Evernote is that you can make the filing system complex or simple. To do a cookbook, just set a few essential tags (breakfast, dinner, vegetarians, freezer-friendly meal, etc) and let the built in search features of Evernote do the rest of the work. It can search images and PDF files for words you search for, you really only need to list those tags which are not already in the recipe itself.
I not only have the magazines full of recipes, but also recipes in binders which are printed from the internet or elsewhere. So I usually look to see if these recipes still exist somewhere online and copy them using Web Clipper. It also makes it easier to add notes or make edits to the recipes after we’ve made them so we can improve on them next time around.
