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.

Hello Reader, David Allen’s quote, “You can do anything but you can’t do everything” is popular in productivity circles…. but it’s misunderstood. He’s not saying you can’t do everything you want to do, just that you can’t do it all at once. Not to mention that “everything” can mean something to one person and something else to another (and another). So how do you actually do everything? Well, if you actually want to do everything, then I’ve put together a 7 step process that you can follow...
Hello Reader, As you continue to refine your productivity practices, I want to introduce a concept that might transform the way you think about your workday: Tolerance. Often, we equate tolerance with enduring less-than-ideal circumstances, but when applied to productivity, it offers a powerful framework for dealing with the natural variability in our work performance and planning accuracy. Tolerance in productivity involves acknowledging and planning for the natural discrepancies in both the...
Hello Reader, I hope this message finds you well. Today, I want to explore a concept that goes beyond traditional ideas of productivity. It’s about reaching the quintessence in our tasks, projects, and overall approach to being productive. Quintessence, a term rich in history and meaning, originated from the medieval Latin ‘quintessentia’, which itself descends from the Latin ‘quinta essentia’, meaning “fifth essence”. Historically, this concept was pivotal in ancient and medieval philosophy,...
