Title it “!Thesis Inbox” and drag it into your Thesis Stack. Now drag the rest of your thesis notebooks to this stack.įinally, and this is a “PRO TIP,” create one more notebook.

I named the stack “00.Thesis”, once again to control sorting against my other stacks. Take any one of your thesis related notebooks and drag it onto another thesis related notebook. So yeah, if you are going to use Evernote for anything in addition to your thesis, we have 2 more steps to the set-up. Evernote remembers things so I don’t have to. I have photographs and notes about things I buy regularly at the store but can never recall the specific brand or type (spaghetti sauce, hygiene products, wine, etc…) so that I can make sure to get the right one when I’m at the store. For example: I have a web-clipping of my odometer reading from the last time I changed the oil on my car, incase the little sticker the oil change place put on my windshield vanishes. I also have notes in Evernote that just help me remember things that I will need again in the future. I have notebooks for fun things to do with my kids, home improvements that I am not doing yet, Cool places to visit, books to read, films to see, etc….Someday contains notebooks for things that I might want to do in the future. I have notebooks for recipes, preparing this presentation, things I need to add to my CV, Maintenance on my car and house, gardening, gift ideas, etc… Every project gets a notebook.Ġ2.Every freelance client has a separate notebook, full of ideas, sketches, inspirations images, invoices, emails, proposals, etc….Current contains notebooks for every project I currently have going on. You can see over in the SHORTCUTS Sidebar that I have 2 other stacks there (collapsed).Ġ1. I use Evernote for all kinds of things though, and I have the feeling that once you get Evernote running in your workflow, you will too. If you are REALLY only going to use Evernote for your Thesis materials, then your set up is done. The “zz” prefix makes sure it sorts to the end. Next, I created another notebook and titled it “zz.Admin”. If they were Chapters, they would use numbers. I used Uppercase Letters as prefixes to make sure they stayed in the right order, but also to remind me that these were not necessarily Chapters, but sort of Meta-Parts. Next, I created 5 notebooks based on those 5 Primary parts of a thesis that we talked about in the outline. If you use the Evernote Web Clipper, it shows up here. If you email something to Evernote, it shows up here. This is where everything will, by default, flow into Evernote. The underscore makes sure that your InBox Notebook always sorts to the top.

I do not remember what it will be called, maybe your user-name or something cute like “My First Notebook.” Anyway, first thing to do is rename this to “_InBox”. When you first create your account and install Evernote, there will be one “Default” Notebook.
