Free Note Taking Software

8 Tools to Keep You Organized

Check out this list of free note taking software we've compiled for you!

Evernote (http://www.evernote.com) - I have recently become a huge fan of Evernote. It has literally simplified my life by decluttering all my bookmarks, folders, project to do lists, etc. For example, for each new book project I start, I create a new notebook to organize all my ideas, outlines, etc. I also do this for speaking engagements and also have a separate notebook for each of my websites. Whether you are taking a text note, clip of a web page, recording audio or taking a photo, you can store all these things in Evernote. Plus, I can access it online, on my computer or on my phone. The free version comes with a limitation of "note allowance" upload up to 60MB per month.
