Power User to Superpower User

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes - I have already.

I've been using Evernote for a few years and went from power user to super power user in about a week while listening on my commute. You don't have to start off at "power user" to get something out of this book. I found myself thinking "I wish I would have known this when I first started using Evernote" more than one time over the course of my listen. This is **the** book that answers the question almost everyone has about Evernote "Why should I use it?" It does this by giving you very actionable and practical steps to use in the process of getting organized with Evernote. There were new spins on old tricks and new tricks altogether that incereased my productivity dramatically. The arrangement of the topics into **actual topical chapters** - a new chapter / track for each "book chapter" makes the content easy to navigate to and keeps each chapter short enough to pick up something new even on the shortest drives.

Would you be willing to try another book from S.J. Scott? Why or why not?

Yes.

What does Greg Zarcone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Zarcone's delivery is very natural and makes the listen very easy. One of the better voices on Audible.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

Putting an exclamation point in front of your "inbox" folder to make it appear at the top of your list.

Any additional comments?

Scott is kind enough to provide the PDF of the book so you can scan it for examples he alludes to in the book.

Very dense overview of the reason on Evernotes

What did you love best about Master Evernote?

This is a 'quick' how to understand the concepts and different ways to use Evernote. It goes very quickly into the specifics of how to use each part of the program, that fundamentally works like most programs these days (copy, filter/search, click on the icons....). What this couple hour book excels in is running through a quick list of ideas of how to use Evernote to organize your world. Almost a brainstorm with a little flushing out of the many ways the program/system can be used to be more effective.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I appreciate that it spends a fair amount of time referencing and integrating the concepts of Getting Things Done (GTD) by David Allen with this set of tools.

I think Steve Scott is hysterical . . . .

I read so many of Steve Scott's books, and one thing that just occurred to me is that the man writes books that are more useful and deliver more value than the people who are actually in the industries his books are about. This is what I mean about hysterical . . .

Steve can write about anything and I can guarantee it will be good.

Thanks Steve, I'm a big fan.

Excellent

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I truly love the audio. It is pleasant to listen to. Yes I would recommend.

What does Greg Zarcone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He is understandable and if I get tired of reading the book, I can listen to this audio walking away with great knowledge.

Any additional comments?

I am better equip to use Evernote and understand how it functions. The author is kind enough to send the eBook version for free! The book version also provide a better view on all Evernote functions.

Excellent book on Evernote. I highly recommend it

I was already an Evernote user when I picked up this book. I thought I knew most of what I needed to know but I am amazed at how much I learned. I bought both the Kindle and Audible versions. The explanations are simple, easy to use right away.
This book helped me increase my productivity tremendously.
I recommend it to everyone interested in putting order in his/her life. I bought it as a gift for my sister and will buy it for my daughter so she can learn good organizing habits at an early age

Very helpful

Though I am an experienced Evernote user, I found the book very helpful. I learned about several advanced features and new ideas on how to leverage the app for increased professional and personal productivity.

Tons of tip but I'll have to listen again.

After downloading Evernote quite a while ago I never used it because it was overwhelming to me. There was so much to Evernote that I simply deleted it. This book has given me great ways to use and explore the program and I look forward to putting it to work.

Great tips for mastering Evernote

Great content and tips for getting the most out of Evernote. I would definitely recommend this to you if are looking to learn ins and outs of Evernote.

Not worth the money for sure.

Old information. Information out dated and no useful to user. Better to just find your own way.

This book shows a way how to use Evernote as a tool for implementation of the "Getting Things Done" system.
