In this OneNote tutorial (in 2020), I explore how you can take full advantage of OneNote, and share my 5 personal OneNote tips and tricks on how you can become more organized.

Many people don't know that OneNote is much more than just a digital notebook. It wasn't until I found a way to use Microsoft OneNote effectively that it changed for the better. But are your notes always readily available when you need them? And more importantly, can you easily find a specific note you're looking for? Get the Official XelPlus MERCH: I tried a lot of note-taking systems in the past and I can't tell you how many great ideas were lost over the years because I just couldn't find the piece of paper anymore, I scribbled some notes on. So for me, Outlook tasks on my PC and phone is simply the easiest and most reliable way for me to capture items that need to be in my inbox and required the least amount of change to my personal workflow.First 1000 people who use the link will get 2 free months of Skillshare premium: Most of us take notes in some way or another - on a piece of paper, in a notebook, or with some app. With my tasks in Outlook I can easily see what's on the agenda for the day, but if they're in OneNote or another app and I'm in a hurry I may not think to launch OneNote to check tasks before I leave.

Or, I'll be in a situation where I have onsite customer meetings first thing in the morning and I'll jump on Outlook real quick to blast through some emails before I leave the house. For example, I'll switch to a different page in OneNote to take notes for a conference call I'm on or something and I won't see tasks that are due. I've found that if I use OneNote or Evernote as my GTD inbox, that I often lose sight of tasks.

And the great thing is, since Outlook allows you to link objects to OneNote, if I have a task in Outlook that I need to capture rich notes and details for, I can simply link the Outlook task to OneNote, do all of my detailed note taking in OneNote, yet keep the master task on my Outlook dashboard. It's just the easiest, most reliable way for me to capture tasks, assign categories and due dates when I'm mobile, and then since I live in Outlook when I'm at my PC anyway, anything I do on my phone will sync to Exchange and show up in Outlook. All things considered, using Outlook tasks won out over eveything else. That said, I've tried numerous apps on my phone, from OneNote Mobile to Evernote to the simple Outlook Tasks app. The only thing that I can rely on to be by my side nearly 100% of the time is my phone, so I've come to the conclusion that my phone needs to be my inbox. I've tried lots of different 'inbox's', from my smartphone to various Levenger index card systems, to other things. I've tried hard, but I simply haven't been able to use as a GTD system.Īs you know, the key to GTD is having a reliable inbox. I've been a heavy OneNote user since 2003 and I have 7 years of archived notes.
