What is the #1 must-have homeschool organization app and why do you need it? Find the answers in this post.
I’ve always been a paper and pen kind of person. Writing things out by hand on paper just suits me. The problem is, I have notebooks all over the place, full of random notes.
On top of regularly misplacing these notebooks, one time my husband spilled coffee all over my notes for the coming school year. He effectively destroyed everything I had written. Seriously?!
It was after this particular coffee incident that I decided I needed something more coffee-proof and impossible to lose. Enter, Evernote.
It is essentially an online note-taking app but can do so much more than just save notes you jot down. In college I used Evernote all the time for all my class notes. Then I graduated and for some reason, graduated Evernote as well.
So after the coffee debacle, I downloaded Evernote to my phone and discovered I still had my account with all my class notes saved. Crazy! Talk about safely storing your notes for years…
