I've just started using Evernote for some of my pin wants. Every time I go to Theme Park Connection's pin wall, I spend an enormous amount of time trying to search Pinpics on my phone, and thought this might be a little easier. Plus, without knowing how new Pinpics will be, and what functionality I'll lose when pin groups go away, I wanted a backup plan.

Right now, I'm just doing a few series. Mostly, POM series, and copying pictures from Pinpics into a note for each series. But I was wondering if anyone else was using it, and how they have it set up to be most useful. I'm new to Evernote, so if anyone has any other Evernote tips, they'd be appreciated.
 
It's an app, but it's not just for smartphones. You can access your "Notes" from a computer program, a website or your phone. It updates all 3 places, so no matter how you want to access the information you can.
 
It's a note taking application. So a way to organize everything you would normally scribble on a piece of paper, or type up and print to have for reference.

So adding to my own thread, I realized while I was putting away my recent acquisitions, that this is a great way to remember what is in each of my binders and bags. Normally, I end up pulling out each binder and looking at my pins, and pull out the ones that are supposed to go in it. Inevitably, I miss one and have to pull out binders multiple times. But then I can't remember which binder I need, so I end up going through most of them a 2nd time. This way, I can pick up a pin, look at Evernote to determine which binder I need, and grab the right one on the first try.

So on my phone, I created a Notebook called "Pin Binders." Inside the Notebook, I have 3 Notes. One Note for the 3 binders I've done so far. So for example, one of the binders is WDW Pin Of the Month Series. Then, in the Note, I typed which series are in it. So for this binder, my Note says Piece of History, Find-A-Pin, Hidden Disney, etc.

Some of the series I couldn't remember the official name. So now that I'm at my computer, I can look it up on Pinpics, and then edit my note in the Evernote application on my computer. And it will automatically update my phone.

You are so organized! That is amazing! I am a new trader so my collection is small and fits in one big book. But I am posting here so I can go back and reference what you do to stay organized as my pins grow.

...That's seriously fantastic!
