The save to Evernote integration has been one of the most popular features of feedly Pro and thousands of you rely on it every day. It’s been so popular because both Evernote and feedly share a common goal of helping people work smarter and more efficiently by organizing the knowledge and information that matters to them. In April, we gave the integration a complete overhaul, bringing it to mobile and adding features like full article clipping, image and quote clipping and support for Business Notebooks.
You can now do more than ever with Evernote and feedly Pro. Here are seven specific ways you can use feedly+Evernote are better together.
We’ve been excited to hear about the innovative ways you are putting feedly Pro to work for you, so let us know in the comments how else you’re using feedly and Evernote together!
1. Research a school project
You already know that feedly is a great way to dive deep into a project and find and organize relevant information. Evernote can take your research to a new level by letting you annotate, edit and collaborate with others.
Let’s say you’re writing a paper about space travel. Follow sites like Space.com, Universe Today, NASA Breaking News or others in our Space Essentials collection to stay on top of the latest news about space travel, then clip the stories most relevant to your paper directly to Evernote. As you gather your research in Evernote, you can take notes, snip out the relevant quotes, and share your research with classmates. (And with Evernote Premium you can let your classmates edit your shared notebooks, as well.)
There are an unlimited number of topics you can research using sources in feedly!
2. Write a novel
It’s said that everyone has at least one novel in them, but most people never put their pen to the proverbial page. If you’ve taken the plunge and or are gearing up to participate in NaNoWriMo later this year, feedly+Evernote can help. For starters, you can subscribe to great blogs about writing, like Write to Done, The Creative Penn and Storyfix (check out some others in our Writing Essentials collection).
More importantly, though, feedly can help you research your novel. Whether you want to brush up on medieval culture for that epic fantasy trilogy you can’t get out of your head, or you’re looking for inspiration for the murder mystery you’re penning, you can find it on feedly. Save the best articles to Evernote, which you can also use to keep track of your characters, settings, and major plot points.
3. Organize recipes
There is no shortage of amazing cooking blogs on the Internet — Smitten Kitchen, Joy the Baker, Chocolate Zucchini and many thousands more (follow some from our Cooking essentials collection to get started). All those food blogs means you’ll always know what’s for dinner, but to fully take advantage of the foodie web, start saving your favorite recipes to Evernote.
With Evernote, you can start to build your personal cookbook by keeping track of changes you make to recipes, sharing your favorites with friends and family and organizing them however you like. Who knows, maybe you’ll decide to start your own food blog for others to follow on feedly!
4. Gather travel ideas
Need some inspiration about where to take the next family vacation? Follow great travel blogs like View From the Wing, The New York Times Travel Section or Atlas Obscura. Already know where you want to go? Use feedly to learn more about the local scene by following local blogs and news sites. Whether you’re in the process of booking your dream vacation or still figuring out where to travel, feedly+Evernote can make sure your next trip goes off without a hitch.
As you come across enticing destinations, helpful hints or snippets of local flavor in your feedly, save those gems to Evernote. From there, you can clip out the more relevant pieces, organize them with your itinerary and easily share them with your travel companions.
5. Find your dream house
Shopping for your dream house can be hard (my wife and I spent eight months with a very patient real estate agent before finding the house we now live in), but feedly+Evernote can make the process a lot easier.
Step 1: Add RSS feeds of home searches from the real estate search site Trulia. For example, this is a Trulia feed for all single family homes for sale in San Antonio, Texas with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath for between $100,000 and $450,000. (Other real estate search engines or local sites may also offer option the to save searches as feeds, but we’ve found Trulia’s tool to be the easiest and most reliable to use.)
Step 2: Save the listings you’re interested in to your Evernote notebook.
Step 3: Share your saved home listings with your real estate agent and take notes on the houses you visit.
6. Decorate or renovate your home
Once you’ve found your dream home, there’s still work to be done to make it your own. For renovation, decoration and DIY ideas, follow great blogs like Apartment Therapy, Bob Vila and Remodelista. Find more in our Home Renovation Essentials collection.
See an idea you like? Save it to your Evernote notebook and share it with your housemates or spouse. You can use Evernote to completely manage the renovation or decoration project — from deciding on materials, tracking costs and keeping on top of progress, Evernote is the perfect tool to making sure your project goes off without a hitch.
7. Find a new job
Finding a job can feel like a full-time career by itself, but feedly can make the process a lot easier. Many job search sites offer the ability to save your searches as a feed (for example, here’s how to do it on CareerBuilder, SimplyHired and Indeed), and adding these searches to feedly means you won’t miss out when you dream job is posted.
But finding jobs to apply for is only the beginning. Save the jobs you’re interested in to your Evernote notebook and then use Evernote to track that status of your application and prepare for interviews. (Pro tip: follow the official blog of the company you’re applying to work for so you have something fresh to talk about when you go to your interview.)
