Product Information

If you’re anything like me, you won’t want to spend a lot on something when there is a stationary cupboard with the ‘standard’ office notebook selection in. These are normally inexpensive, spiral notebooks in my experience. And they do the job just fine. I couldn’t be bothered with that, personally, but if it works for you, keep a few colored highlighters or pens in your bag. Underline or box important notes in a different color, or switch pens to write in different colors. 10. Make it fit with your online tools It'd be great to have full OneNote templates on Mac, Web, and mobile, but for now this workaround gives you most of the features of templates today. A guide on how to run effective meetings based on interviews with the world’s most successful leaders Remember, the way you organize your work notebook can evolve over time. Switch up how you use your notebook as your needs change.

OneNote for Windows is the only version that supports templates officially—but you can still make and use your own templates in every other version.

Mainly my notes are for To-Do lists, meeting prep, and thinking plus ad hoc notes for meetings. It’s often a mess, but it works for me. Instead of using the Templates sidebar, just make copies of your note templates in OneNote for Mac and Web

Consider using abbreviations for faster and more efficient notetaking. For example, write “GW” in your notebook instead of “George Washington.” Your notebook should be part of a whole productivity and task management system. It should fit alongside your online tools. That’s great news because you can set it up how you want and no one else needs to understand the system! Whether you want to use lists or mindmaps (or both), the choice is yours. How I use my notebook Don’t write down every single word discussed in your class or meeting. Only write down the most important facts. It’s okay to paraphrase. While I do love a Moleskin-style notebook, I only tend to use them for ‘fancy’ occasions at work when either I’m trying to impress (e.g. job interview) or I’m going to a conference. However, I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on a notebook. Most of my nicest ones have been given to me as gifts.

RESEARCH-BASED DESIGN

She put an A in a circle next to anything that was an action. Genius. I’ve taken this a bit further and use the following, in circles to help them stand out in the notes: I’ve been organizing notebooks and refining ways to keep a notebook organized my whole working career (and before that – for college and university notes). Your system should work in the round. No one in your team should be waiting to be told what to do because you wrote it down in the wrong place. Keep it simple
