I usually give each client their own note and keep everything together in that one note so it’s always easy to find and refer back to. I record notes from our initial consultations, notes from the design process, notes from meetings or calls I’ve had with a client. I use this notebook to house all my notes for current or ongoing design clients. Keeping these all together makes it quick and easy to find when I see one of these frequent emails come through my inbox. I have a separate note for each canned response, so I can just copy / paste the text into my email browser or in an Etsy convo when needed. I use this notebook to keep canned responses for frequent emails I get. Sorry some things are blurred out – I can’t give away all my secrets, right?! ) I also included some screenshots so you can see the interface + organization of the app once you’re inside. Listed below are each of these notebooks and what types of notes I include in each one. For myself, I have 8 different notebooks that I use to categorize all my different notes. Within notebooks, you can have individual notes, which are basically just blank windows for you to fill up with ideas, lists, images, outlines, any notes you can think of. My notebooks + how I organize notes / contentĮvernote is organized into notebooks. Let’s dive into how my Evernote is set up so you can see the organizational goodness in action. It’s structured to maximize organization and is super practical for a small business owner with a lot of ideas. I use Evernote for everything from blog writing to canned response emails to meeting notes with clients. It’s free for the basic version (which has worked perfectly fine for me for nearly 6 months), plus there’s a mobile app so you can see your notes and add to them on the go. If you’re in the market for a better system for all your brilliant ideas, Evernote is your new best friend. I’ve found entrepreneurs love seeing how other entrepreneurs organize their businesses, so here’s a look at one of my all-time favorite tools. This post is in no way affiliated with Evernote, I just wanted to share a peek into my process of using. Evernote has been a life-saver in keeping all my running lists and ideas in one easy-to-use and nice-to-look-at place. Google Drive was overflowing with random, unorganized notes and lists, and my desk was overrun with scraps of paper and post-its. Don’t worry, you’re not alone :) I can't seem to get my brain to shut off either, and I recently found myself feeling scatterbrained and unable to move forward with business ideas or decisions because there was so. As a creative business owner, I’m guessing you have a million ideas shooting through your brain at all hours of the day.
