Why members join
You know you’re only using a fraction of Evernote.
Most members join knowing Evernote could do far more for them. What holds them back is usually one of these.
01
“Every time I catch up, there’s something new.”
Evernote has shipped 375+ improvements since January 2024, with a new release nearly every week. Learning them on your own, around your actual life, isn’t realistic.
02
“My account is a mess, and I can’t find what I need.”
Years of notes piled up without a plan. What you need is in there somewhere, but it never turns up when you need it.
03
“I don’t know what to focus on.”
Notebooks or tags? Tasks? Spaces? Which AI features are worth your time? With this many choices, it’s hard to know where to start, so most people stick with the few things they already know.
You don’t need to master all of Evernote. You need the parts that fit your work and your life, set up so you can find anything, and a guide who keeps up with every update so you don’t have to. That’s what the Academy is for.

Heard in the community
“OMG! I've been using EN for 12 years and had never heard of this. Glad I finally joined the Academy.... This feature has already changed my life in the hour since I watched the class.”
SusanAcademy member
“Stacey Harmon you are a wonderful coach for EN! I literally get so caught up in the "weeds" I fail to step back and see a solution that makes total sense. Thank you!”
JimmyAcademy member
“I do a lot of learning online, and you are the best. You put so much content into your materials that it is really worthwhile. Keep up the good work.”
RayAcademy member
“Problem solved! … First, I watched Stacey's Masterclass referenced above and learned some new stuff which I hadn't absorbed when I was new last year. … Everything is working! Just like the Masterclass told me! … Thanks, Stacey.”
MarkAcademy member
“Stacey: this was SUCH a great masterclass! You're always extremely organized (and knowledgeable, of course!) and it's really appreciated. I learned a ton in this one (with lots of notes of additional recordings to watch).”
When you post a question in the Academy, you’re talking to me, someone who uses Evernote every day. We work it out together: I ask how you work and suggest an approach that fits, and fellow members chime in with what worked for them. There are no dumb questions here, whether you’re brand new or have used Evernote for years.
And yes, I’ll teach you AI too.
Everyone wants to know how to use AI. It’s in every app now, and Evernote is no exception, with an ever-expanding array of AI features. I’ll show you how to get the most out of them and keep up with the pace of change, including:
AI Assistant, the chat built right into Evernote
Semantic Search, to find notes by what you mean
The MCP Connector, so Claude, ChatGPT and Muse can work directly with your notes
Everyday AI that helps you stay present in meetings and suggests titles for your notes
AI is one topic among many. Whatever you came to learn, you’ll learn it alongside real people, with an expert who answers every question you post.
“Stacey has created a community where it's very safe to ask dumb questions! And I really enjoy and benefit from being part of a community with others also learning how to use Evernote to its full capacity. The Academy has been an excellent decision and worth the investment because it saves me oodles of time.”
LeanneAcademy member
“The Academy is not just "learn once" and then keep going back to the same material. It's ongoing support. As you dig deeper and have deeper questions, Stacey's there with answers.”
EdwinAcademy member

The EverDone System Course
Stacey’s complete GTD® workflow for Evernote is available to active Academy members: join the Academy first, then add the EverDone System Course from inside. EverDone customers also gain access to a facilitated Guided Weekly Review, held once a month.
“I've been using David Allen's GTD system since the early 2000's … It wasn't until I found Stacey's EverDone System that things really clicked. Her step by step instructions really helped me set up a system in Evernote that has lasted, and her ongoing support in the Academy has been invaluable.”
Mary WoodardEverDone customer
“Before joining the EverDone System Course, I had been using GTD and Evernote off and on. With the EverDone System Course, I've stayed organized and eliminated the clutter of apps I was experimenting with, but ultimately wasting time on. My Sunday Weekly Review now sets the tone for the entire week. The EverDone System Course has been a game-changer, especially when I launched my consulting business and while writing my first book.”
David EarlEverDone customer
“Over the years I've used many productivity apps: Omnifocus, Things 3, Todoist to name just a few. But when I discovered EverDone in 2019, it was a game-changer. I had been a long-time Evernote user, but I didn't think it was workable for GTD. The EverDone System Course is incredibly well thought-out and well designed, and with it, GTD just works.”
Claudia VolkmanEverDone customer
Academy customer stories
“Probably the best thing I’ve done for myself in the last decade.”
That’s Tonia. Here’s what other members say about learning Evernote in the Academy.
The Academy is like having a personal Evernote expert available to you all the time. Stacey's so conscientious about answering questions in a timely manner and giving you personalized advice every time you ask a question. I'm so glad that I invested in myself and took the plunge to join the Academy. It's made such a difference. It's made me feel lighter. It's made my mind feel calmer.
Diana · Academy member
“I've been using Evernote for more than 10 years. At first, it was my "second brain," but over time it just became a digital junk drawer. … Then I found Stacey and The Academy, and it was a total game-changer. … For the first time in a long time, I felt organized and in control.”
Jeff SherardAcademy member
“Harmon Enterprises has been an invaluable resource for me throughout my Academy membership, which began in 2021. … It would be difficult to identify a single breakthrough I've had in the use of her content simply because there have been so many of them … Thank you Stacey for your consistently useful and timely content over the last several years!”
Mark SeamanAcademy member
“The Academy brings common sense and organization to a great system that I use all day long every day. The Masterclasses that she puts together help me say, "Oh, I didn't think about organizing this in that way." And Stacey has given me tips and tricks to be able to tweak the things that I have in Evernote. What I've learned through the Academy is saving me time every day.”
KatieAcademy member
“My biggest challenge was getting organized. … I hesitated for months before joining. I kept wondering if it was worth the investment. But the reality is, if I wanted to grow my business and take Evernote to the next level, I needed expert guidance. The Academy turned out to be just the ticket I was looking for.”
David EarlAcademy member
“I want to express my appreciation and recommendation for the work that Stacey Harmon does with the Academy. I honestly could not be where I am today with Evernote, were it not for Stacey. Her regular communications and training are invaluable. Additionally, she's available immediately for advice and help. I highly recommend that any Evernote user belong to the Academy as it is an invaluable service to all of us.”
Bill AdenAcademy member
“I've been an Evernote user since 2009, but it was pretty much a hot mess until I discovered the Academy. … The learning is ongoing, and Stacey is an excellent teacher and communicator. Being part of the Academy is an investment that pays huge dividends in Evernote skills, productivity and workflow best practices, and it's definitely helped me to grow as a business owner.”
Claudia VolkmanAcademy member
“Before I joined Stacey's Academy I was limping along with Evernote feeling alone and frustrated. My scattered attempts to utilize Evernote in a way that worked for me were unsatisfying. As an Academy member this is no longer the case. Stacey and the Academy continue to provide resources and ideas for my success with work and personal projects.”
Teresa WilliamsAcademy member
“I was feeling overwhelmed with Evernote, but the Academy has been incredibly helpful in getting me on track. There's a wealth of information that I'm slowly working through, including the 'Getting Things Done' book club. Stacey has created such an awesome resource that's helping me build a system my brain can trust. I'm grateful to have this supportive community as I develop my digital organization skills.”
Denise YeagerAcademy member
“Thanks to Stacey's excellent teaching, I've advanced from being a beginner Evernote user to having a solid foundation I can count on. Even if I fall behind on the latest features, I know I have the fundamentals down. The Academy community is the perfect place to continue building these skills.”
Patricia GlassAcademy member
Your guide
Learn from a leading Evernote Certified Expert.
Stacey Harmon has used Evernote since 2009, still uses it every day, and teaches what she does. She’s been teaching Evernote since 2012, longer than Bending Spoons, the company that owns Evernote today, has existed.
She keeps up with every release so you don’t have to, meets with Evernote’s team every month, and brings what real users need straight to them. She doesn’t work for Evernote, so her loyalty runs to you, and you get straight answers about what’s worth your time.
Advanced Evernote plan advised, purchased separately from Evernote.Cancel anytime; access continues to the end of your term.Renews automatically until you cancel. By joining, you agree to our Terms of Service, Community Guidelines and Privacy Policy.
“Thank you for creating the Academy! There aren't enough words to express the value I've gotten over the years — I'm more productive and more efficient. With so many changes happening so fast, my membership pays for itself in the time I save by shortening the learning curve.”
Yes. The trainings assume a paid plan, and Evernote Advanced is the recommended minimum. Enterprise subscribers are welcome too: all of the training applies to Enterprise accounts.
Where is the Academy hosted?
The Academy is hosted on Circle, a platform built for online communities, in a private, ad-free space.
Already on Circle? Join with the same email you use in your other Circle community. That lets you switch between communities with one login. A different email creates a separate Circle account, and accounts can’t be merged later.
New to Circle? It’s intuitive and works right in your web browser, so there’s nothing to install (there’s a mobile app too, if you’d like it). We’ll show you around when you join.
Will it teach me the latest version of Evernote?
Absolutely. You’ll get a video tour within days of every Evernote release (sometimes the same day), plus new trainings added each month.
Will I learn GTD® in the Academy?
Yes, in part. David Allen’s Getting Things Done® (GTD®) is a frequent topic in the Academy: its best practices, like capturing, processing and reviewing your week, show up in many trainings, and every member has access to the GTD® book club, where Stacey walks through the book chapter by chapter and explains why Evernote is an amazing solution for each core concept.
What’s not included is Stacey’s complete GTD® workflow in Evernote. That’s the EverDone System Course, a $400 one-time add-on for active Academy members: join the Academy first, then add the EverDone System Course from inside. It includes access to a facilitated Guided Weekly Review, held once a month.
When are the live events, and what if I can’t make them?
Live events are typically held during US business hours, and replays are posted the same day, so the Academy works in every time zone. There are at least four live events a month, so something’s on most weeks. Typical events include feature tutorials, Ask Me Anything sessions, workflow demonstrations, community roundtables, co-working sessions and, a few times a year, multi-day challenges.
What languages does the Academy support?
All Academy training is presented in English. Currently there’s no transcription option on Academy videos for other languages. There is a workaround, though, and Stacey shows members how to do it using Evernote’s AI transcription feature.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, there are no lock-in contracts. You can cancel anytime and you’ll keep access until the end of your current monthly or annual term.
What’s your refund policy?
We stand behind our products, and your satisfaction matters to us. Because the Academy is a digital product delivered online, there are no refunds. Before you join, get a feel for Stacey’s teaching style: watch her tutorials on YouTube, browse past issues of her free newsletter or read her story. Not sure yet? Start with the monthly plan. You can cancel anytime and keep access until the end of your current term.
Can I share my membership?
It works like a gym: everyone’s welcome, but each person needs their own membership.
Do you offer education or non-profit pricing?
Sorry – We do not offer discounts for students, educators or non-profits/charities.
