Effective Scratch Pad Uses
While there are a variety of uses for the Scratch Pad, here are a few ways you can begin using the Scratch Pad to stay organized and use your time effectively:
  • Editorial Calendar: Creating an Article Writing Plan or Editorial Calendar is an incredible way to effectively achieve your goals. Simply plan out your article topics anywhere from a week to a month ahead of time and then refer to it in your Scratch Pad to stay on track!
     
  • Take Notes: Get rid of stray pieces of paper and keep all of your notes in one spot: theScratch Pad. Whether you are participating in a webinar, researching your niche, gathering customer questions and feedback, or scoping out the My.EzineArticles.com Library tab for Expert Author training tips, jot down all of your ideas or key points to remember.
     
  • To-Do List: Never skip an important part of your article writing process again. Plan out your day with a checklist. For example: Check My.EzineArticles.com for EzineArticles notifications, keyword research, title writing, idea generation, write articles, edit/proof articles, submit articles, etc. This will help you stay on track and effectively make use of your time.

How to Access the Scratch Pad
  1. Go to My.EzineArticles.com
  2. If you have not accessed My.EzineArticles.com, you can do so by using your current username and password.
  3. Select the Scratch Pad icon from the top toolbar (upper-right corner of your screen).
How to Use the Scratch Pad
It's super easy:
  • If you haven't already saved a note on the Scratch Pad, simply begin typing into the "Notes..." field. We recommend beginning the note with a simple keyword phrase that can be easily searched for later, i.e. To-Do List or Top Keywords.
     
  • When you are finished, simply select the "Close" button and your note will automatically be saved.
     
  • To create a new note, select the "New Note" button and repeat the process.
     
  • If you have already saved a note or two, the most recently updated note will appear whenever you open your Scratch Pad.
     
  • You can also search your saved notes by entering the note's beginning keyword phrase in the search bar (that's where your keyword phrases come in handy).
