Evernote can't export notes as Word documents. Connect Evernote to an AI tool through MCP, choose a note and ask it to create a formatted .docx file. You can even give it a template for reports or books. www.tamingthetrunk.com/p/evernote-p...

Sunday Evernote reset: Review your Shortcuts. Remove notes, notebooks, tags and saved searches you no longer need. Add what you'll use next week. Shortcuts work best as a changing list, not permanent storage. www.tamingthetrunk.com/p/evernote-s...

One small Evernote AI habit that helps: Add repeat preferences to AI Memory. Writing style, title format or invoice naming rules can be saved once, then reused by the AI Assistant and AI Title Generator. Less re-explaining every time. www.tamingthetrunk.com/p/using-the-...

Jon Tromans @jontromans.com · 06/07/2026

Monday Evernote tip: Use a note as a simple project dashboard. You can now link directly to notebooks, stacks and spaces inside a note, so one page can point to the places you use most. Useful for projects, clients or a personal command centre. www.tamingthetrunk.com/p/link-to-ev...

Jon Tromans @jontromans.com · 01/07/2026

Evernote dictation is different to recording a voice note. Voice notes save audio. Dictation puts the words straight into your note while you speak. Good for getting rough thoughts onto the page before tidying them up. www.tamingthetrunk.com/p/how-to-dic...

Jon Tromans @jontromans.com · 30/06/2026

Tuesday Evernote mistake: rewriting the same AI prompt every time. If you use Evernote's AI Assistant for repeat jobs, save it in the AI Prompt Library. Give it a name and reuse it when needed. Less typing. More consistency. www.tamingthetrunk.com/p/evernote-r...

Evernote's floating formatting bar has won me over. Highlight text to bring up formatting, then favourite the tools you use and remove the ones you don't. You can switch it off in Settings if it gets in the way. Would you use it? www.tamingthetrunk.com/p/evernote-r...
