Going Paperless in my Daily Work Day

I have worked over the last several months on using the iPad as a productivity device at work.  Two key apps that I'm using, Evernote and Penultimate, get the most use throughout my daily routine. 

Penultimate is the best handwriting app that I've tired.  It is fast and easy to begin taking notes and has become my go-to app for quickly jotting things down.  The notebook option works well but it takes time to organize your meetings along the notebooks you have set up.  Invariably you end up with notes from one project in another's notebook.  A key that I've found is utilizing a stylus with the app.  Using your finger just doesn't get the writing as small and legible as one would like.  My next app that I will be trying that is similar to Penultimate is Notability.

Evernote is one of my most utilized apps.  Its desktop and mobile clients work extremely well together across both PC and MAC platforms.  The use of tags really supports searching for notes from past meetings across each of the notebooks.  It also supports adding in key Penultimate notes via direct email. The only issue that I have with utilizing Evernote exclusively is the time that it takes to type vs using the stylus in Penultimate. 

Together these apps work well together throughout my meeting filled day and helps to keep me on track with the topics and actions without using paper.
