Auditor, dealing with numbers is my profession.I am passionate about

I use Evernote, everywhere
Android phone
Android Tablet- Google Nexus 7
Windows Desktop - Windows
Windows Laptop - Windows
I started using Evernote on a regular basis in November 2010. Initially I
experimented with Evernote for desktop in early 2009 and discontinued it
soon after to try various other tools.Dissatisfied with their performance, I
switched back to Evernote and have been a loyal user since. Being a user
ofthe free version for the initial year, I graduated to become a premium
user in 2011. Although I do not upload the full 1GB per monthbut the

complete business sense to me.
I use Evernote for...
EVERTYHING! I use Evernote on a daily basis for organizing my personal
and professional life. Initially I used it only for creating backup of smaller
files and transferring the data on my desktop, but now it is a part of
every segment of my life. I also use Skitch, Evernote WebClipper, Clearly
and offline notebooks very widely. I love the sync feature, which ensures
that my notes are available on all the devices that I use.
Organizing My Work Life
- Organizing my work
A lot of auditing and number crunching comes as a part of my profession
and Evernote becomes a savior for me in that. While auditing I need to
take lot of notes, so I create separate notebooks for each assignment
which make it easier to look for them later. I use IFTTT and Powerbot
apps to forward work related emails to my Evernote account so that I
have all the important mails related to each assignment in their
respective notebooks for ready reference. The new page capture camera
is a great tool to capture paper documents on the go. I use this feature to
capture and store documents that I need to collect as part of each
assignment. Without an organizing tool like Evernote, it would be
impossible to link all these resources in a productive manner.
- Reference library
Being a CA, remembering numerous complex rules and laws isessential for
me, but it also is the most difficult task. I save circulars, news and even
complete bare actsin Evernote and tag them. And the search option just
makes it so easier, for e.g. If I have to search for a particular note which I
know has ‘income tax,’ I just type the word and I get all notes related to
it. Few of the bare acts have been shared as Public Notebooks.

3. - Planning Travel
Travelling across the country is another facet of my work. I use Evernote
and Google Maps to store maps of places I need to visit. I add the travel
Itineraries and bills so that I can submit my claims after the trip. I use
IFTTT with Foursquare to store the check-ins in Evernote so that I can
refer the locations if I need to revisit. I can link all these various notes
using tags to easily find them later on.
- Go Paperless
Id cards, hall tickets, certificates, mark sheets and everything paper are
saved to my Evernote account. It essentially helps me to create back up
of essential documents and have them handy all the time. Once again the
powerful search feature helps me to find the document I need in a flash!
Organizing My Personal Life
- Organizing my blogs
I use Evenote to write blogs. I currently maintain 5blogs and one of them
is in Malayalam. I use Google transliteration utility for Windows to type in
Malayalam directly in Evernote. All the edits are instantly synced with
Evernote and are available in all my devices.

4. I also sketch extensively and have created a shared public notebook of my
artwork. I post these sketches in my art blog and with Evernote it
becomes easier for me to share and remember all the ideas that may
have occurred to me.

5. -Managing Expenses
I use Evernote to store the Insurance premium payment receipts, bills and
order details of online purchases I make. This helps me to keep a track on
expenses and plan my payments accordingly.
- Creating backup of custom code

6. I use lot of custom HTML and PHP Codes in my website and blogs. I save
the various code snippets in Evernote as backup. This way I can easily
take the code from Evernote, whenever I need to restore some part of
the source code.
- Tech Library
I use web clipper for my personal tech support library. Recently I have
been experimenting with Raspberry Pi. I compile tutorials from various
online resources to create my own versions for reference.Skitch comes to
the rescue when I need to highlight specific parts of screenshots in my
Tutorials.I will search for tech solutions on Google and then save it to
Evernote. For e.g. my Windows used to get stuck and wouldn’t boot.
After searching for some 30-40 mins in forums I found the solution. Now I
have the solution and it’s saved in Evernote and whenever I face a
problem I go back to the article and refer it.
- Organizing apps I use
My SMS is an Android app (available in Evernote Trunk) that
automaticallysynctext messages to Evernote.
