This means getting information into Evernote is super fast and simple, and makes Evernote the easiest place on your desktop to put information. From any window or application on your desktop, a particular keystroke (that you create) can create a new note in Evernote, clip a screenshot into Evernote, or paste selected text right into Evernote. This is the single most-used thing in my Evernote workflow.

This isn't so much a feature as it is a way to further organize your notes under umbrellas, to be able to access all the appropriate ones at the same time, in the same place. I have a ton of tags within my Evernote, but sub-tags lets me put them all underneath the general topic of what I want. You can create as many tags as you want within a given tag. To do so, right-click on a given tag and click 'Create tag in _'. Within a given tag, you can create sub-tags that will make it even easier to sort what you're looking for. To create a saved search, right-click on the left side of the Evernote client, and select 'New Saved Search.' Then, enter your parameters, and you're set! Sub-Tags The more notes you have, the harder it can be to weed out exactly what you want â€“ Saved Searches are a lifesaver.

You can search for, say, everything in your 'School' Notebook that doesn't have a 'History' tag, or only things that are tagged with 'To Do' and are in either your 'Home' or 'Office' notebook. Saved Searches add even more functionality to tags and notebooks, because it lets you weed out only exactly what you want. One of the great features of Evernote is the ability to use Notebooks and tags to sort all of your notes â€“ its organization features are among the reasons it's so useful.
