I have had a friend since 2007. The name is Evernote.

Evernote has matured over the years with many new functionalities and is a part of my critical workflow.

I trust the system, believe in it, and has been a part of my professional and personal life. I use Evernote as my second brain, digital hub, planning purposes, calendar integration, and so on.

Today, I will talk about one hack that has skyrocketed my productivity using the ‘HOME’ feature.

Let’s check it out!

  1. Created a new note. Add a table, You may have two or three columns or more depending on the type of content you wish to keep.
  2. Start adding your links (of your websites) as shown in the above picture. I have created a note with my most used website links. Evernote has recently introduced an auto-conversion of the web links, which works great. Try it.
  3. Go to the top-right corner, use the three dots and use the ‘pin to home’ option.
  4. Go to your HOME page — this note is pinned on the TOP.
  5. Now you can use all these web links to go to your websites directly from Evernote HOME.
  6. A straightforward yet highly effective trick to boost your productivity.

How do I use this hack?

  • Evernote HOME is always open on my Mac or PC.
  • I do not require my Chrome web browser to be opened.
  • I go directly any of my websites directly from my ‘Home’ screen.

There are many other ways you may play with the design of this note, add a few pictures, categorize your links like ‘Business’, ‘Personal’ and so on.

Do let me know if you have used this earlier. I’m open to more ideas and suggestions.
