Stop wasting time closing all apps in the multitasking bar

Stop wasting time closing all apps in the multitasking bar | Technology Advances | Scoop.it

I admit that I was one of those who cleared out the multitasking bar on the iPad in order to get some speed back. Then I wanted to write a post on how to speed up an aging iPad (because that's what I have), and to my surprise I found out that closing apps, in almost all cases, does absolutely nothing for you! Despite of most what you read online - it's a complete myth.

Ken's Key Takeaway:

Are you a digital packrat? Are you in need of a searchable repository for everything you want to recall later? Does the idea of automatic OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for all your scanned PDFs get you excited in a way only seriously organised people could ever understand? If so, Evernote is the tool you need right now – and we’ve got the perfect manual to get you started using it like a professional.

Hanks everyone, it really is a fantastic tool and I am still finding ways to use it better. It certainly helps to stay better organized.
