Adding a Table to Your Note

Adding notes freeform works great, especially if you are operating in stream-of-consciousness mode or you’re using ink to add your notes to the page. But what about those times when you want to compare two items—for example, weighing out a site you’re considering for an upcoming meeting? If you had a list of details about each site, such as number of occupants the meeting room holds, how much the rental costs, what kind of audio-visual equipment is available, and who you need to contact, lining up the information side by side so that you could see which one looks better on paper would be helpful, right?

That’s what tables are all about on your Evernote pages. Tables can help you see at a glance how two or more items compare in your notes, which can help you get closer toward a decision that’s been dogging you for a while. Nice.
