You can schedule the date/time of the alert to whatever works for you - the day before, a week before, etc.) (Of course, the Reminders feature is also useful for alerting you to homework due dates, test dates, and other key items. Now roommates won’t be able to claim they forgot their share of a bill was due. Pair it with a shared notebook that contains scans of the electric, water, and cable/Internet bills and each roommate can enable a reminder to pop up. * Use Evernote to keep track of bills and other roommate details - utilities, chores, etc. Other services like GoogleDocs or Dropbox will let you share documents with a team, but Evernote’s ability to convert text into searchable documents automatically is a BIG DEAL! No matter how team members send in content, searching an entire notebook with keywords/tags is powerful and students. If you’re working on a team project, for example, a shared notebook is one of the best ways to make certain information is available to all members. * Shared notebooks are a gift from Evernote, so be sure to check them out. Don’t be afraid to raise your hand and ask someone to repeat a source of information, a web address, or other bit of info - just open up the Evernote app on your mobile phone, press the Record button, and you’re in business. * Audio notes can be uploaded and stored in notebooks, so take advantage of that!

But every now and then when thinking back to high school and college, I shake my head and think how useful today’s technology (both hardware and software) would have been to me. Suffice to say, if you’re not using Evernote, I highly suggest giving it a try - only then will you be able to truly determine if it’s a beneficial service or something you can do without.
I started out with the free version of Evernote, but quickly figured out that the Premium version was the only way to go based on the quantity of documents I store as well as the number of times I must access stuff offline. Between Evernote and my personal scanner, I cannot decide which one is more important to my work and personal life. It’s no secret among my friends and family that I have an Evernote addiction.
