Hello everyone and welcome back to the Keep Productive YouTube channel, it is Francesco here. Welcome to another video in today's video
We are discussing my Evernote
2019 wish list
I'm going to be sharing with you guys some of my
Features that I like to see you next year as well as general things that Evernote should release in my opinion
I've got a few notes in front of me
I'm also going to be discussing the chat that I had with Evernote CEO Ian small and
Sharing a few insights that he was able to share with me in his in our conversation. So guys in today's video
I'd love to hear your opinions about Evernote what your wish list would be
So pop them in the comments below as well as comment on what you think about my thoughts on the wishlist
So guys, let's run the introduction
That was quite a good click like a 9 out of 10 click there
so guys today's video is sponsored by same box a big THANK YOU to

So let's run that advertiser
so this month sponsor is sanebox for those who don't know sanebox is an email management tool that
Helps you to take back control of your email for those who use Google office 365 iCloud Yahoo
Or any other email service they feel a little overwhelmed
It's definitely worth exploring same box as a user and two scrubber myself
Sanebox helps to keep my email clean in a range of very smart ways
Here's three that particularly helped me. The first is saneLater
This is a folder dedicated to reducing the amount of interruptions and distractions you get across your day
So it'll filter less important emails into this area for later. The next is sanenews now
SaneNews is a folder dedicated to newsletters and mailing lists
I can check back in at the end of my day and find all of the useful mailing lists
I subscribe to but during the day it doesn't interrupt me and
Finally sane no reply and I can check in on any an email who needs an replying or a nudge
The best thing is that same box allows you to train each of your emails in your account
Ideal if you're looking to feel coma about what's coming in as it comes in

So guys, it's naturally I discussed a few weeks ago about how I use Evernote on a daily basis
I still use it for functional things like financial information
election information
via medical information house
information things like that like PBS and and
Data that I want to secure inside of Evernote and I still find it a useful resource for search
Being able to go back and find the information that I need to collect out of it now in terms of my wish list
I have it here in front of me and I want to give go through some five
Key things that I'd like to see in Evernote next year
So the first thing on that list for me is the interactive elements
I'd like to see more table abilities inside of Evernote as well as some viewing functionality
inside of applications like notion
the thing that is leading the way is the interactive element side notion delivers these
Amazing boards and these amazing tables calendars as well. Although it does lack them
And also they've added gallery and lists in the last month
so I do believe Evernote can really benefit from having much more interactive tables and
Elements inside of their page this would allow users to be a bit more able to plan and visualize things as they come up
Now I'm not talking about really advanced stuff here
Maybe those applications do a better job of them because ever no is more of a note-taking experience
But I would like to see something like this. They did a lot of work two tables last year, but I believe it wasn't as
progressive as the likes of other apps like notion encoder and another interactive element that I'd like to see is the
Dashboards element obviously Evernote last year, I believe it was released spaces, which was an attempted dashboards
And essentially you can only get out on the business account right now, but they are planning to release it too personal
But I don't think that's quite it I think that there almost needs to be this page where you need to plan plot out
Links and shortcuts to notes and almost organize a home page for you around your Evernote account
I'm not sure exactly how this could be done because it'd be quite tricky to do but
In essence, I think it would massively help the evident users out there so relationships, I'm not sure why time to rip relationships
So what we'd like to see in 2019 the ability for Evernote to connect upward notes now a few years ago
They released a feature called context which a lot of you guys know already
But I do think they could go a lot further with this
I'd like to see for example if I open up like a bit of medical information or something like that
inside of the note to have
Recommended or related notes that would be relevant to that or that would help me to get that done
So for example, let's say I was planning out a trip to Italy with my family
I would for example might want to know some of my banking information or some relevant information about things
I've clipped in the past so
Context doesn't quite do that for me. I'd like to see something more machine learning based inside of Evernote. That would help
Recommend notes inside of notes and help you get things done as well
So hopefully they do something to do with this in the next year. I'd also like to see better relationships between notes
so something that coda does really well is the table functionality if you create a table inside of coda and you link it to another
Table or another page inside of coda. You can actually have a table that is based on relationship
So for example, if you update that table the other table gets updated, too
I'd like to see that available inside of Evernote as that would make Evernote tables more relatable and easier to use across the board
especially if you and your team are
planning something in one of your notes and you had a table and you updated it with all the stuff and then
You don't have to duplicate it or lose any data. You can make it a live table in the other views
That's something I don't think is currently available inside of Evernote. So in 2019, I'd also like to see updated pricing setup
So one thing that I noticed from as a user myself is the ten gigabytes in premium at the moment
They only have free and premium which is a bit of a shame
They only have premium at ten gigabytes, which I think in my own opinion is way too much storage for me
Even if I went on that plan
I'd like to see something that allows you to pay up to your storage amounts per month
I'm not sure how that would work, but that would be very useful
I know that they are looking I know that at the moment they're a be testing the plus package which is the medium ground
I believe that was like was it two gigabytes something like that?
There was like a middle ground storage limit you get 60 megabytes in the free version
But I would really like to see the plus version back again because if it were up to me
I'd probably go for that middle pricing, although at the moment. I'm comfortable with free so number four is automation
I'd like to see more abilities in automation coder this week released brand new automation abilities
Allowing you to press a button inside of coder that you create and it's empty essentially allows you to react with other applications
Now notion is bringing this to the table an API world next year. Probably that's my prediction, but I do think that
it's something like this in Evernote would work massively Evernote has so many integrations and
If you had an integration, for example, lightning release with Microsoft teams, that would be amazing. So for example, you complete a Evernote
project or you're working on a project you'd like to pass it to someone else a quick press of a button and
It not just someone on slack or on Microsoft teams
About that, that would be fantastic
So I think buttons inside revenue would be a fantastic move and they head towards automation inside of Evernote
So moving on to security
I'm not sure I'm fully aware of this but I don't think evident has touch ID security
I am Not sure but I can't seem to find it on my settings area
Please correct me in the comments if I'm wrong. If that is the case. I'd like to see them do touch ID
I'd also like to see them and a lot of people would like notebook level security as well as note
Security to Nats lock on side of your notes because that would be great an ability to be a bit more
Specific about how you secure your notes. I know this is something that is happening inside of slack Enterprise
They do a great job at being able to secure what specific people or new on boards can actually see inside of slack
So maybe they could do something like this with evident. So those were my five
Recommendations I'm going to talk a little bit about community now in terms of Mike where I would like to see it go I had
An opportunity to chat with Charlotte before my call with Ian
which was really great and Charlotte's always like an open book with the Evernote community sign of staff said that's
Fantastic, and that's so good to hear
So it you know as you can imagine I shared my thoughts with her
But this is how I'd like to see the community develop over time
I would love to see more case study videos in terms of you guys and Evernote premium
Users using Evernote on a daily basis. I'd love to see how you set up things. How you go about
Tackling work and life challenges with it
I think one of my favorite videos on the channel when it first came out the Evernote channel
Is there evident for life or was it called evernotes life's work video?
fantastic video about how different people in work and life used Evernote on a
Daily basis and it even had Tim Ferriss in it
It was a really good video, but I always used and I'm just being honest here
I used to open up and sometimes just watch it to get inspiration
Like when I was a lot younger and using Evernote
I was like
this is such a great video to inspire new people to jump on Evernote or
to expand your knowledge of Evernote even though it was so
Even though it didn't include like all the product side of stuff. I also think there as well
There could be some great interviews and some great
Collaborations with Evernote premium users and those who use Evernote on a daily basis for lots of different scenarios
I think I'd like to see what the community is using it for right now
So next up is so just one final thing. There is I did mention my chat with in small D CEO of Evernote
I did post on the coop eruptive group a little bit about it, but I guess I hadn't shared it with you guys yet
I would say the chat went very well. I I think ian is a really nice chap like person I think
He's I think what I learned from that talk as well is he seems to be a good storyteller as well?
Which is quite nice
Ian, for example, I was watching rogue
before the cool and excited to pause it and do the call and and go back to it and
we've gotten a little bit of a side chat about Star Wars and it was quite nice a story he told about how
He watched episode 5 when he was 14 or 15
And he went to the cinema to watch and he was telling me that story and it was it was a really good story
But I loved how that could be
His storytelling ability could be part of Evernote's journey. Now overall the chat went well
I think he is super keen he is listening to all of you guys out there and it sounds like he's
Listening to all formats all stakeholders in terms of their opinion on Evernote
however notes done wrong in the past but learning from those mistakes versus using that is a
Sort of marker, I guess so, I'm quite excited for whatever net brings to the table in 2019
I doubt we'll see anything for a fair few weeks because ian has to get enrolled in and
Learn from the internal and external sign of snap. So that's we quite exciting
But you know, let's uh, let's call back in a couple of months to see however never doing
so in terms of leapfrogging, I think if in
2019 I think if Evernote did something with AI machine learning and
introduced a
interactive modular productivity software that
Notion has and combines the two all I think that could be a good leapfrog forward
I think a lot of people have a space in their heart for Evernote and me particular like it was a first productivity application
I came across and I fell in love with everything about it like from the stickers to the CEO to the
the notebooks to the actual product itself
And I think that they can actually get back to that stay and if they do
Like if they do catch up or leap from these applications
I think a lot of people will move back over because they'll have that sense of trust and love Evernote that
They might not necessarily have built up in the period of time with these companies
So we think one of the things that Evernote does really well is it's for everyone like everyone from creatives to professionals
They do a great job at marketing it out to all audiences all ages all types of work situations
So I think they do a good job at that
But one thing I think that in 2019, they shouldn't focus too much on is being worried about feature. Overload
This is something in the past. They got a lot worried on they fixed the problem because they've improved the onboarding
So when a new user signs up, at least there's some
Insight into how to use Evernote whereas in the past
They've really wasn't you had to be a pro you onboard anyone like
Flustered with the amount of features there are but I do think they should not worry too much about there. They fix the onboarding
I think now is the time to just start adding features and start getting robust in terms of what Evernote is
Structurally and what people think it is so guys. Hopefully you enjoyed this insight into Evernote
2019 predictions almost or wish list. It'd be great to some of your opinions in the comments
