Evernote is designed to serve as a personal knowledge base, allowing users to store notes, receipts, and other information in a centralized location that can be easily accessed later. However, this convenience comes with the risk of Evernote becoming cluttered and disorganized, making it difficult to find specific notes or navigate through the vast amount of stored data. Digital marketer Bob Stanke's experience with nearly 5,000 notes in his Evernote account highlights the importance of maintaining a system for organizing and prioritizing notes to avoid information overload. To tackle this issue, users can consider implementing a "cleaning" process, such as moving important notes into separate notebooks, deleting unnecessary ones, or using search tools to filter out irrelevant content. The article proposes three approaches to cleaning up Evernote: the tedious but careful route, the instant and half-committed route, and the digital bankruptcy route. Regardless of the approach chosen, it is essential to back up notes before starting the cleanup process and set up a system to prevent clutter from building up again in the future.
