OneNote 2008

Posted in gtd, productivity by Sydney du Plooy on August 30, 2008

One more favourite tool that I have come to like a great deal is OneNote 2008. Straight from the box I got used to the ease and the flexibility that it provides to capture and layout my notes. It is almost easier than a notebook.

Currently I am designing a website and the way that OneNote helped me organize the research is amazing. Not only that, it has a very handy screen capturing utility that can be invoked at any time using the Windows Key + S.

It also allows you to capture side notes at any point in time by pressing Windows Key + N. Very handy stuff indeed.

Some features of OneNote 2008 includes:

  • Gathering your notes and information in one place;
  • Automatic saving of your notebooks;
  • Organize information in the manner that you want with complete freedom;
  • Prioritization and management of your tasks and your to-do list more efficiently;
  • Themed notebook pages;
  • Sharing of your notebooks;
  • Text highlighting;
  • Using pens on the note surface;
  • Automatic source linking when pasting information;
  • etc…

I think I might have abondoned my Moleskine for good after discovering OneNote.
