How do I remember and organize stuff in Evernote?
Once you have registered your personal account, you can start [|capturing your memories] and organizing them to help yourself remember them later. Every single captured item, or idea is called a **note**. You can have as many notes as you like. Those notes can contain embedded images, audio, attached files, they can contain formatting and colors. Notes are grouped into **notebooks**. Each note always belongs to some notebook, and can't belong to several notebooks at the same time (you can imagine notebooks as boxes in which you physically put your notes). We suggest using multiple notebooks for top-level topics only (like //Work//, //Travel//, //Cooking// and so on). Having multiple notebooks is optional — some people prefer keeping all their notes in a single notebook (which is created for you by default) and use tags. While tags are assigned by you manually, **attributes**, i.e. note properties, are assigned automatically. Examples of note attributes are: time a note was created or updated; geographical coordinates where the note was taken; presence of images or audio in the note, and so on. Like tags, attributes can be used to quickly find your notes. For example, you can find notes created this week and containing audio by choosing both 'Created > this week' and 'Contains > audio' attributes in Evernote. And finally, you can create **saved searches**, i.e. save your current search criterias into a named entity, which you can then select with a single click.
 * Tags** is another powerful way to organize your notes. Tags are keywords, or labels which you put on the note. You can have virtually unlimied number of tags, and up to 100 tags assigned to each note. Once you assign a tag to a set of notes, you can quickly find those notes by highlighting the tag in the alphabetical list, or just by entering the tag name into a serach box.
