To keep the original template intact (after all, you don’t want to have to edit it each and every time!), you visit your templates folder, right-click the template you want to use, and then copy it to the appropriate notebook.

Then, it’ll be right there whenever you need it.

When you find one that you’d like to add to your own Evernote account, simply click “Save to Evernote” in the upper righthand corner and then select which notebook you’d like to save it to. So, where exactly do you find these templates? Evernote has an entire master list of all different types-categorized by use case. Insider Tip: Zerkel recommends creating a dedicated notebook called “Template Library” where you can store all of the templates you use regularly. You can browse and choose a template that suits your needs, add it to your own Evernote account, and edit it as necessary. Put simply, Evernote has templates for all sorts of different things. You’re likely familiar with what a template is, so I’ll spare you a really detailed lesson. But, deep down, I always knew that Evernote was capable of way, way more.įortunately, before curiosity could get the best of me, I connected with Evernote’s Director of Global Community, Joshua Zerkel, to get the lowdown on one handy Evernote feature that’s always appealed to me: Evernote templates. But, that’s about the extent of it.ĭon’t get me wrong-my straightforward lists get the job done. Occasionally, I’ll get really fancy and insert an image (have you ever met someone so tech savvy?). We’re talking black text with bullets or checkboxes. If you were to look at the majority of my documents, they’re pretty simple. But, here’s my confession: I don’t use it to its full potential. And, don’t even get me started on all of the other ones I have stored on my devices-from books to addresses to random stats, I have a running list for nearly everything.īy far, my favorite tool for making lists is Evernote.

On any given day, you’ll find me with a to-do list, a shopping list and a random reminders list.
