Whether you’re an author, designer, filmmaker, or any other type of freelancer, Evernote is the perfect tool to help you manage projects and keep you creatively thinking about future ones.
Here’s five tips to manage your freelance career with Evernote:
1. Organize Projects
Evernote is a perfect hub to store all the materials needed for any project and manage the many moving parts, deliverables and deadlines. Create a note for each individual project including plans and documentation. By creating tags for each, you can easily find notes related to projects quickly. Add Reminders with due dates to track milestones and deliveries.
2. Share the Knowledge
Whether you work alone, or with a team, Evernote makes it easy to send important information to colleagues or clients with Shared Notebooks.
3. Research
Collect all the elements of your research into one place. With the Evernote Web Clipper, you can easily transfer the information you find from the web directly into Evernote. In addition to saving the interesting things you see online, you can now switch into a reading view, add shapes and annotations to your clips and share your clips on social networks.
4. Record
Use Evernote to record audio conversations, important interviews or feedback sessions with clients. Audio Notes let you focus on what’s happening on the conversation. Afterwards, you can reference the material easily, and share it with others.
5. Never Forget Big Ideas
Freelancers are always looking for their next big project. Evernote is a perfect repository to capture those ideas. Try to save them into Evernote and tag them as ‘story ideas’ so you can rediscover them later. It’s perfect to capture photographs, quick notes and even audio recording, on the go. You never know when your next idea may be your next big pitch.
