Here it is the final days of 2011. Right now there are 4 days (5 counting today) to be exact left in the calendar year for 2011. Close to one month ago I set out to do some digital “House Cleaning” before the end of the year. As I’ve stated before I’ve become quite accustomed to using Instapaper and Evernote almost on a daily basis. I think if you were to look into either one of my accounts, you could get lost for hours. I’ve set it as a goal to have everything “cleaned up” and organized in hopes of starting the new year fresh. The ultimate goal would be to get to the alleged “Inbox 0″ I hear so much about, but I don’t think I have the gumption to get to that so I’m setting my sights on something that might be just a tad more attainable in the amount of time I’ve now allotted myself. So here’s to hoping I can get everything organized to start 2012 clean! Wish me luck!

Remember Everything, with Evernote.
So after my last post about Instapaper I spent a little time going through my list of things that I had “saved” to “read later.” My list was not short, not by a long shot. I found stuff that I had saved almost a year ago. So I decided that there had to be a better way. And of course, there was, and Instapaper even tells you that there is. On the bottom of Instapaper’s FAQ section they clearly state that the main goal is not to organize and store thousands of links, so I had created this hole myself. One of the options that Instapaper tells its users about is Evernote. I have been using Evernote for a while, but nowhere near its full potential.
Read This…Later
If you are like most people, you’re online for a large portion of your day. Whether you’re at your desk, on your phone or on your couch with an iPad or a laptop, we all seem to be online a LOT. Now although we are online as much as we are, we tend to run out of time to read certain things we come across. Now if only there was a way that we could save what we find, to read it later. Well that’s were Instapaper steps in. Instapaper describes itself as “A simple tool to save web pages for reading later,” and it does just that. Instapaper is a wonderfully simple tool built to help you read the things you find on the internet, whether you read it now or later is up to you.
