I have been using Evernote for a very long time. No idea when I started using it but I certainly like it over OneNote. OneNote is prettier looking but it is not as easy to use. One of the things I love the most about Evernote is that it syncs my data across all platforms. As you say it is my 2nd brain. As I grow older I noticed that my short term memory is not what it once was. I could not function without it. Excellent article.
