Evernote is the perfect place to keep important tidbits of information synced across many devices and, as a result, at your immediate disposal.

I have Evernote installed on my home computer, work laptop, iPad, and two iPhones.

I'd like to talk about a couple of cool ways Evernote has helped me. They might be kind of off-the-wall, but I hope you'll use them as a springboard to your own cool ideas.

We buy vacuum bags maybe twice a year. (No snide comments about lack of cleanliness, OK?) Our vacuum requires very specific bags. More than once I guessed at the bag required, only to find out I'd grabbed the wrong one and had to return to the store.

Never again. I took this quick snapshot with my phone, added it to Evernote, tagged it vacuum bag - and have it at my fingertips every time I need to replenish.

You know how it goes: go to buy some custom-mixed paint, and use every last drop of it painting a room. "Perfect planning!", you think to yourself.
