Tip: Track vehicle mileage and maintenance with Evernote

I am going to start posting various tips and tricks for computers, applications, and mobile devices. This particular post is the first in a series of tips for Evernote, a fantastic tool I use to stay organized.

Use Evernote to track vehicle maintenance. Create a notebook for each vehicle and start a new note for every maintenance event (oil change, tire rotation, etc.)

You can even track mileage. Record fuel consumed and miles driven every time you fill up the tank. Use tags to denote which vehicle it is and what event you’re recording (fuel, oil, tires, repair, etc.)

If you drive a vehicle for work, use Evernote as a trip log. Enter the starting odometer reading and the reason for your trip. When you’re done, record the ending odometer reading in the same note. The IRS requires a trip log when seeking per-mile deductions on work-related travel.
