finally had time to listen and just wanted to add some comments as a 3+ year user of Evernote

1) use as a journal in the free version. You do not have to share your notebook in the cloud. You loose the ability to share the file with all your devices but since I tend to use my laptop for 90% of my work it's good for me.

2) My main job is a project coach and can have as many as 50+ people I coach at one time. I use EN to take all my notes when I meet with people or if I have a random thought on their project between meetings. By setting up a tag using each person's name and department (2 tags) I can review all of a department's projects or all of a person's meeting notes in the EN tape. This helps me also in that 5-10 minutes before I meet with someone I can look at all my past notes on their tag and re-familiarize myself with their project. Sometimes it gives the very false impression that I remember everything about their project. ;-)
