But web clipper alone makes Evernote worth the investment. Internet formats are ever changing and WebClipper is always a little behind.

The web clipper add in for web browser is great, the single most important thing for new Evernote users to do, is to install WebClipper.

I regenerated the notes count from scratch for this post (long ago I could count by hand!) 10 years is 120 data points. So to find all the notes since 20100101 (the example above) you type in created:20100101 and then look at the top of the notes list, for the count for the month. Evernote will then show you all the notes since the date you entered.

Trick #1 is to set the Evernote client to “Snippet view” so that you see the monthly note totals, and Trick #2, is to type “created:YYYYMMDD” in the search dialog. How to track how many notes you have by Month in Evernote. Evernote for a while then, allowed me to buy more uploading capacity, and I did that several times. So for 2011 I was waiting until the end of the month, then uploading as many documents as I could. In earlier years, before Evernote went to a 10 GB upload limit per month, I could scan more documents than I could upload in a month. October to February is moving time (5 times in 10 years) where I scan like crazy to recycle paper and avoid moving atoms. After my “Aha! I should use Evernote as my reference fling system!” I broke my 14 month string of zero captured notes. So I’ve been an active user of Evernote for 105 months of the 119 months I’ve had an Evernote subscription. Member since May 2008 (119 calendar months), but did not start adding notes to Evernote until July 2009 when I listened to the passage of GETTING THINGS DONE covered in the previous post.

The plural of anecdote is “data” and purpose of this article is to analyze the data on my Evernote journey, out loud and share the impressions of value in use over time.
