Notebooks are how notes are organized in Evernote and are commonly used to separate notes by category, location, or purpose. For example, you might create one notebook called 'Home Remodel' and one called 'Schoolwork' to keep these types of notes separate and easier to find.
For example, you may create notebooks for:
- Work projects
- Travel planning
- Creative projects
- Company resources
- Receipts
- Contracts or documents
