Отрывок из книги
This book reflects the guidance and dedication of a terrific team at Harvard Business Publishing. Ania Wieckowski worked with me to structure and revise (and revise, and revise) a manuscript that would be both readable and useful, and her ongoing enthusiasm and insight made the process a joy. Scott Berinato, who edits my HBR blog, not only has been my best writing teacher but also helped to shape and develop this book project.
My former colleagues at Emily Carr University were the people who ignited my interest in ebook writing, and I am particularly indebted to Jonathan Aitken, who worked with me in developing the initial vision for this manuscript. My colleagues at Vision Critical have been generous in sharing their own experiences with Evernote, and in making room for this project in the midst of our broader social media efforts.

This book focuses on Evernote because it’s the web-based notebook that works for the widest range of users (because it’s available for both Mac and Windows users, and on a variety of mobile platforms) and integrates with many other applications and devices. But many of the strategies and practices outlined here are equally relevant to other notebook tools, such as SimpleNote and OneNote, described in the table. More important than the software itself is the way you use that software to support your professional goals and personal work flow.
