Study

My recent leisure reading is The Evernote Bible by Brandon Collins.

Some of my friends may notice this one actually jumps the queue amongst the list of books that I plan to read, and it is really no leisure reading what-so-ever.

It is, in essence, the advanced user manual of Evernote, the program that I regularly use for organizing information - things to do, contacts, meeting notes, literature search, and what not. Contrary to the usual belief, the program does not store each and every piece of notes in a highly organized tree-like architecture (like DOS, Windows, or Mac). Yes, there are notebooks and tags, but nothing more. The filing system is loose and deliberately chaotic. The edge is, it has a search function as good as any, and you can always find the notes you want to refer to with a few clicks.

You may ask: If I am satisfied with what I could do with the program, why should I bother to read the manual?

Well, as John Barrow says:
An amateur studies what he likes.
A professional also studies what he doesn't like.
