Do you have a to-do list at work?  One at home?  One for personal items?  One to remember everything you need to do for and with your children?  Are you drowning in stickie notes?

There's a great application for your iPhone that can help pull all of those to-do lists into one place, to help you get organized, and to remember everything that you need to remember and everything that you WANT to remember.  And that application is called Evernote.

To get this free application, go to your App Store on your iPhone, search for, and then install Evernote.   When you click on the application icon, simply start entering in your note information.

But, if you are like me, you are rather slow at typing on your iPhone.  All thumbs.  This is where things get sweet.  Real sweet.  You can also create a free account on the Evernote web page.  Once your account is set up, you can access your account online and use your computer keyboard to create and update notes.  When you sync your iPhone, the notes you created on the web will be available on your phone.

Now, you can collect all of those stickie notes, all of those to-do lists, and have them in one place.  One place that is available to you at all times because you have your iPhone with you.  Thus, making it extremely easy to look at all those pesky lists.

But, this is not all Evernote does.  Not at all!  You can download a little web clipper extension for your browser and put a button on your browser link bar.  Then, when you find a page on the Internet, you simply click the Evernote web clipper button and a note of that page is automatically created for you.  (You can clip whole pages or just selected text.)  Now you have saved in your notes the information from that web page. 

But, this is not all Evernote does.  You can use your iPhone's camera to take a Snapshot Note.  If you wanted to remember the menu for a new restaurant, the house address of a new friend, or the notes on a whiteboard from a meeting, you can simple take a snapshot and it will be save as a photo note.

But, this is not all Evernote does.  It does text recognition in photos.  So, if you took a picture of the menu of a restaurant, you can easily search all of your notes by simply tying in a word that you know is in the picture of the menu.

But, this is not all Evernote does.  You can also create a voice note.  As you are leaving the office you remember that you need to stop at the grocery store on the way home.  You quickly open your Evernote application and create a voice note of all of the things that you need to get at the store.  When you get to the store, you can listenn to your note to remind you of all of the things that you wanted to get.

But this is not all Evernote does.  (Are you getting the idea that this program has lots of great features?!)  You can scan in receipts, recipes, or brochures.  You can e-mail your notes directly to your Evernote account.  You can take pictures of business cards, of your scribbles on a napkin from lunch, or a decorating idea from a home show.

Such an small little application.  Such amazing organizing capabilities!
