Create Checklists in Evernote to Save Time

While I use the <a href="http://www.thesecretweapon.org/the-secret-weapon-manifesto/a-better-way">"Secret Weapon" method</a> of organizing <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.evernote.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Evernote">Evernote</a>, I wanted to give you a glimpse of taking those tasks you do just once or twice a year and making them so much easier. As a teacher, sometimes I procrastinate because I just don't want to take the time and energy to find things.<br /><br />As I've been reading <a class="zem_slink" href="http://gawande.com/the-checklist-manifesto" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="The Checklist Manifesto">the Checklist Manifesto</a>, I'm now taking time to start creating checklists to make life easier. Included in the checklist in Evernote, I'm linking and embedding the files so that I can easily take care of business.<br /><br />If you look at the tasks I have to do in the Evernote note below, they have files attached to them and information. Instead of searching for that email I used last year to welcome parents, and finding that file, it is all in one place. I uncheck the boxes so I can start over this year.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij_B-vVgdrUaCKLCGgkcRErikBSE-Danve3v1gFJ4e5SQitc07LRghcr3U5rbV8aM3VecEMK6ui4mvTIg6gXZh61UM11ntX9HoNei06AfSru7PRyvd1KSzgaV4Trf4-DEZ7hAf_aLbJqr5/s1600/evernote-keyboarding-example.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij_B-vVgdrUaCKLCGgkcRErikBSE-Danve3v1gFJ4e5SQitc07LRghcr3U5rbV8aM3VecEMK6ui4mvTIg6gXZh61UM11ntX9HoNei06AfSru7PRyvd1KSzgaV4Trf4-DEZ7hAf_aLbJqr5/s640/evernote-keyboarding-example.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <div class="zemanta-pixie" style="height: 15px; margin-top: 10px;">This is very helpful for those PowerSchool queries for the academic banquet and very geeky things I Have to do infrequently for Flat Classroom. Since this is the beginning of the semester, it is a GREAT time to make these checklists and embed these files. Note that sometimes I just make a shortcut to a file and put that in the note, but I do pay for premium evernote, so I have the space to attach the files. I'm still curious as to exactly HOW evernote embeds the file.</div><div class="zemanta-pixie" style="height: 15px; margin-top: 10px;"><br /></div><div class="zemanta-pixie" style="height: 15px; margin-top: 10px;"><br /><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/?px" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_c.png?x-id=0de32b5b-f301-4d3b-9804-6f70ec293ba1" style="border: none; float: right;" /></a></div>
