Re: PDA for ADHD mind

Disclaimer: I don’t work for Evernote but I’d suggest giving it a try. In my case, it’s helped a lot. Your Mileage May Vary.

Evernote is an interesting way to keep organized and get instant access to reading and recording notes. It works with web pages; select the interesting bits and the clipping, along with the web address, is added to the index. It runs on other devices; BB, iTouch, Android. Software development through its API program have allowed third-parties like Nokia and Lexmark to send stuff right to your Evernote. A special lens attachment is available for the iPhone, designed to capture notes via the camera. Evernote stores photos from a file or the PDA camera and builds a search index based on Optical Character Recognition (OCR). This is great for snapping a photo of a receipt, wine label, or a business card, things I am prone to forgetting or misplacing. Any image, text, or PDF is stored and indexed, so organizing paperwork is easy. Even voice notes.

While you don’t need a PDA to use Evernote, quick access to all your notes can be pretty helpful. Nevertheless, with only a desktop/notebook PC or Mac, it sure beats notepads, stickies, etc. which are often misplaced and are difficult to search through (esp. with my handwriting — atrocious!). Evernote is also good for making checklists. A basic account is free up to a certain amount of Megabytes per month. Check it out http://www.evernote.com
