In Evernote, create a “template” note. Think of your template note as a sample note, the example for all other notes of its type. You’ll want this note to very generic, useful again and again. You can create multiple templates, though, so don’t be afraid to make lots of templates for different notebooks, projects, clients, or whatever you’re working on.
Next, you’re going to export the note. Find the note in your list of notes within that notebook and right-click on it. Choose “Export Note...” and again, you’ll want to export it as the ENEX filetype. Select the Evernote templates folder we created earlier as the destination.
Now you can open your exported note in a text editor and delete the timestamp. The timestamp is everything between the <created></created> and the <updated></updated> tags. Delete all that mess. Nothing should be in there. If you don’t get that timestamp cleared out, when you eventually reimport your template, it will have the wrong dates attached.
