Why would you need this?? Consider the following: – Ideas for School Projects/Lessons (that you think of at random locations) – Your To Do list looks like a mountain of yellow sticky notes – Perfect place for grocery lists – Remember those special movie dates, B-days, and passwords. – Prescriptions (quick list of what your taking for those Dr. appointments) – Quick Picture (see a flyer, phone number, Business Card, etc.)

To Do Lists…my favorite This helps keep me on track and I can quickly check at starbucks, while cooking dinner, before bed, etc. I have installed Evernote on all my devices to keep me extra efficient!

You can also insert pictures & files…big help if you don’t have time to go to and attach I especially like this when I’m out shopping for clothes or trying to decorate the home, etc.

Also use it for files that I need to easily retrieve.
