Chronological record keeping
Last year I wrote down planting dates and other significant events in a book something like a journal. I don't find this very helpful, first from the viewpoint of keeping track of the book, second in being able to quickly find a specific item.
Photo records
In 2013 I snapped a lot of photos of the results of our activities and the date stamp on these has provided basic chronological info. And by adding keywords and descriptions I can quickly search for specific topics.
Phone app
In mid-Summer 2014 I explored using a smart phone with the Evernote application to record photos and comments. That approach didn't work well as-is because of peculiarities on Evernote. However, I did manage to use it in this way:
- I capture the scene with my phone's camera.
- At home on my desktop computer:
- I name each event, and add keywords and descriptions
- I export photos from my collection specifically for Evernote.
- I type in the comments for the day into Evernote.
- I attach the photos to the day's comments.
I can imagine a revised Evernote app that effectively added pictures on-site as I recorded what I had done, but that's not the case yet.
