No related posts. http://endlessscholar.com/2009/06/starting_gresat_word_of_the_day.html Happy 2009! I've been playing with Evernote some and it has definitely improved since I last toyed with it. I'm thinking, now that I'm in a different environment, that it just might work for me. Here are my requirements: Must be able to use it for work on a laptop that I can't ... http://endlessscholar.com/2009/01/evernote_ok_ill_give_it_a_go.html I'm bad with letting things get cluttered, but that's why I'm taking action. I'm on chapter 4 of Getting Things Done and I'm inspired to finally get my gmail inbox clean. It feels like I had my inbox clean only a month or two ago, but I'm looking at 500+ ... http://endlessscholar.com/2008/12/cleaning_out_my_gmail_inbox.html Well, I'm finally in an office of my very own.

I have meetings with all the people on my team regularly, and have a separate section for each.  But that is boring.  I asked everyone to give ... http://endlessscholar.com/2008/10/cute_onenote_tip_for_notes_on_people.html Maybe if you're using OneNote on a powerful laptop or a new, ultra-configured tablet, you may not have noticed any slow-down. Or if you like to keep neat little notes that only use a letter-sized page of writing/text at a time, this likely has never occurred. But if ... http://endlessscholar.com/2008/10/are_long_onenote_pages_bogging_you_down.html Has anyone ever tried a ModBook, the third party Mac tablet that is a slate made from a normal MacBook?
