Miele praised Evernote for its ability to handle note-taking and project organization, which is crucial in her current role where she needs to manage over a dozen different studios and projects at any given time.
"I meet so many different teams, we have so many different creative projects, and the scale is so large, I need to take really good notes as I'm having conversations and having insights," Miele told Business Insider.
Miele also recommends Evernote since your notes can sync across devices.
"The ability to actually access those notes from my iPad, or my phone, or my laptop is pretty powerful," she said.
While Miele said she will often attend meetings with an iPad and Apple Pencil, which can recreate that feeling of note-taking on a physical notepad, she said she objects to people relying on laptops in meetings.
"The teams [that I manage] worked really hard to prepare for a meeting — they're talking about a creative idea. We're in the entertainment business, and people are there putting their hearts on their sleeve. They're emotionally invested in what they're presenting. For a bunch of people to have their laptops up ... it's a thing for me."
Miele said she isn't a fan of how laptops can shield people's faces in meetings.
"I think some people are engaged in meetings, and some people aren't, you know?" she said.
Miele says she uses two email apps for work, Microsoft Outlook and Exchange, but that she often spends a lot of time to get both of her inboxes down to zero.
"That is something I am very emotionally committed to," Miele said. "I will admit, the Marie Kondo-type phenomena is big for me. It contributes to me. I like to keep my inbox clean and tidy and free."
While clearing out her emails is helpful on a personal level, Miele says the biggest motivator of being a "zero inboxer" is to ensure that she, and the organization, is not holding up decisions or communication, and keeping both of those things flowing. This also ensures that messages don't get lost.
"The sense of responsibility that I have, around all the people that are in our organization, is that we are keeping things moving as quickly as possible," Miele said. "We're making decisions fast. We're not slowing things down. And so, for me, that's what zero inbox means."
