Microsoft OneNote is perfect for this mission. Our goal should be to develop a workflow that allows us to store our ideas in a way that makes recovery timely and easily performed. “Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.” You’re only limited by your own creativity.ĭavid Allen, the author of an amazing book titled “Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity” states the following: Some of these ways may work well for you as-is, while others may inspire you to use OneNote in ways I’ve never imagined. In this post, I’d like to showcase some of the ways I find OneNote to be most effective for my workflow. The idea would, unfortunately, be lost or not found until it was too late to be useful.Īll those misfortunes changed when I began using Microsoft OneNote. The problem is that none of these solutions were synchronized to other devices and it was easy to forget where I had stored an idea. Historically, I would store these notes in a variety of forms: voice messages, notes, emails to myself, screenshots, etc.

Many of these ideas come to me when I’m least ready to implement them, so I make a note for later reference.

I get ideas for new videos, suggestions and recommendations of new apps from friends, tasks I need to perform, and so on. In this age of connectivity and integration, I’m constantly thinking of new ways to work with people, programs, and data.
