7 Evernote Tricks for Every Husband | Some Wise Guy

Men these days have lots of tools at our disposal. We have access to enough of nifty gadgets to make James Bond jealous. We?re the new international men of mystery and you better not shake our coffee.

While any man has some standard items in his toolbox there are always a few he cannot live without. Since first using Evernote two years ago it has become a daily staple in my life and it?s more versatile than a pocket knife

Many tech services are fun to use, have cool interfaces and productive applications, but few can help you be a better husband. Here are 7 Evernote tricks every man can use.

1. Favorites

A good man can remember a few of his woman?s favorite things: colors, flowers, movies. But I?ve yet to meet a man who knows it all. I use Evernote to keep track of all the little stuff I notice LK fancies. The latest addition was her favorite cereals.

2. Wishlist

LK and I subscribed to the idea of wish lists a long time ago. It?s a simple way to create a win-win scenario when a special day on the calendar rolls around. I maintain a wishlist note of things LK has asked for and will take pictures of gift ideas I stumble upon.

3. Shopping list

I tweeted this nugget of wisdom last weekend after LK sent me to the store:

LK keeps a running list on the side of the fridge. When she needs me to go food shopping I just snap a photo with Evernote and head out the door. If there are necessities I think of during the week I add them to Evernote with a ?shopping? tag and can easily refer to the list later.

4. Important info

Husbands play all kinds of roles. Handyman, taxi driver, spider slayer. Evernote is a fantastic tool for capturing incidental, but important information. Most recently I snapped a photo of the business card for LK?s doctor and the hospital across the street. It came in really handy when our daughter was born 18 days early.

5. Baby stats

(How?s that for a segway, huh?). At the hospital there are nurses coming and going, a small mountain of forms and truckloads of information being thrown at you. Evernote to the rescue. I was able to jot down Kiwi?s weight, length and store a few precious photos from her first hours in the world.

6. Date night

Last, but certainly not least. I?m a cheesy romantic, but it?s hard to conjure a memorable date night out of thin air. With tags like ?date night?, ?live music?, ?karaoke?, ?seafood?, etc you can maintain a pipeline of ideas you can access on the fly.

7. Anniversary

Rumor has it men are terrible at 1) remember and 2) planning anniversaries. I really don?t know how it?s possible, but I hear it happens. Anyway, Evernote will save your bacon because you can store destination, restaurant and activity ideas. It?s my turn to plan our annual getaway this year and because of Evernote I?m barely breaking a sweat.

Even with an oversized cranium I can?t remember everything. Evernote serves as a digital brain that I can organize, index and refer to across multiple platforms from any device.
