Evernote does it again...
Hello Reader,
On November 29th, Evernote announced on their blog that they were placing limitations on free users: 1 notebook, 50 notes.
I wonder if this is the first you're hearing from this... other than if you're a free user who tried to add a note anytime after December 4th.
Reply to this email if you're hearing this new limitation set here first.
I only discovered this new set of limits from a Facebook post from the team at Tool Finder. And I believe they only found out about it from TechCrunch.
You'd think that Evernote would have emailed all of its free users to let them know about this change, right? Nope. I got no such email. In fact, the only email I received from them recently was their Black Friday offers.
Not cool, Evernote.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that while I was using Evernote sporadically, that time has come to an end. I've moved everything out of Evernote, uninstalled the app and its web clipper, and have moved on.
And I'm now encouraging others to do the same.
Massive price increases. Limitations with little to no warning. It's clear that Evernote has a new kind of customer in mind. And I'm not it. Maybe you aren't either.
Now is the ideal time to pick up Your Evernote Endgame, a program I've developed to help you leave Evernote behind with less friction and more flow.
For a limited time – 50% more time than Evernote failed to give its free users to make a choice about their Evernote experience – I've brought back the launch price of Your Evernote Endgame: $24.
Your Evernote Endgame is a mini-course complete with migration guides, an exploration of Evernote alternatives so you can find your best option, and access to a community of digital notetakers and productive people who have either already made the move or are looknig to do the same.
Click here and use the code FORGETEVERNOTE to get Your Evernote Endgame for $24 until December 15th.
Got questions? Feedback? Insights you'd like to share? Reply to this email. I'd love to hear from you.

Hello Reader, I’ve recently put parameters back on how I check social media. Through the Screen Time app, I cap myself at 25 minutes ever weekday. On weekends, I double that limit. Now, I didn’t do this because I think social platforms are inherently bad. They’ve connected me with people and communities I care about. But they also can amplify the worst of what’s out there. That’s why I paused when I read Cal Newport’s renewed call to quit social media altogether that he shared last week. I...
Hello Reader, This email is the third part in a short series that steps slightly outside my usual lane. I’m writing about the wage gap, payroll imbalance, and how we value work because it connects directly to the themes many of you know me for—time, attention, and productiveness. If something here resonates (or rubs you the wrong way), hit reply and tell me. Your feedback is shaping this series as I go. Inside most organizations, payroll is “the controllable.” When numbers don’t line up, the...
The Lantern by Mike Vardy Vol. 1, Issue 29 | September 13, 2025 Hello Reader, The week started clunky. Technical headaches, email mishaps, the kind of friction that makes you wonder if everything is going to stay off-kilter. By Tuesday, things had begun to settle. Not perfect… but better. And by the time you read this, I’ll have shared an evening with friends, unwinding with conversation and laughter. The arc of those few days is a reminder of how perspective takes shape. Perspective isn’t...
