Tips for setting up your shopping list in Evernote.
1. Sit down and brainstorm everything that you wish to purchase. Or if you have an existing list, I recommend transferring it to your shopping list in Evernote. Start your list about 2 weeks before your shopping trip and each day add any new items to the list. Photos can also be added to the list as a great reference point.
2. Two days before the antique faire, review your list and prioritize it. I prioritized my list A, B, and C. ”A” is top priority and “C” is lowest priority. Use a priority system that fits you.
3. Add a “Supplies” section at the bottom of your list with everything you need to bring to the antique faire. For example, I usually bring my cart, a tape measure, water, gloves and extra sweater for winter and an umbrella for shade in the summer.
4. The night before your trip, load your car with everything on your supplies list. Now your list and supplies are ready for the antique faire.
5. I have an iPhone and use my PDA to reference my list during the shopping trip. If you do not have a PDA, print the list from Evernote the night before your trip and add it to your supplies. With my iPhone Evernote application, I can reference my shopping list at any point during the antique faire. If the antique faire is in a location with spotty cell or data reception, sync your iPhone with Evernote before you leave the house.
6. The day after your antique faire trip, review your list. (You may want to save a copy in your archive.) Delete any items you purchased. Delete any items you’ve decided not to purchase. Start a new list for your next trip to the antique faire. Review your possible purchase notes for any items you want to add to your list.
7. Now your shopping list is started for the next trip. Every time you find something new you want to purchase, add it to your existing list.
Happy Hunting!
