The notebook into which most of my work-related meeting notes goes is an “Offline” notebook so that I can access it on my iPad even if I don’t have a Wi-Fi connection.Copying the template to a new note on the iPad is a little tricky, which is why I try to do it from the Evernote desktop application the night before.I am not trying to capture a detailed record of everything said in the meeting I only try to capture those things that will be useful to me later.I’ll also do this with other types of documents stored in other notes. That way, I can simply click on the link to take me to the corresponding note in Evernote. If I need to refer to a previous meeting’s notes, I’ll stick a Note Link to that note in the Reference section.(I imagine some folks will be interested in this and I’ll try to write a post about this in the near future so here is the post.)

#EVERNOTE TEMPLATES CODE#
I fill out my To Do items in a special format because I’ve written some code to have these items automatically sent to my To Do list manager.I usually have all of the reference and links at my finger tips.

#EVERNOTE TEMPLATES UPDATE#
While I am waiting for the meeting to start, I will update the Create Date of the note to reflect the actual date/time of the meeting.If there are some attachments that would be useful to have (agendas, slides, spreadsheets, etc.) I’ll attach them to the note.I run through the template filling out as much as I can ahead of time (e.g., are there questions I want to ask? Are there links that need to be referenced, etc.).Once the note is in the proper place I change the title of the note to reflect the corresponding meeting on my calendar.
#EVERNOTE TEMPLATES MAC#
I do this by going to my Templates notebook on my Evernote Mac desktop client and right-clicking on the Meeting template, then selecting Copy To Notebook…
