Conclusion

When used correctly, OneNote can be a powerful program.  Think back to the last chapter where I explained to you how you can sync OneNote to all of your devices.  I highly recommend setting this up as soon as you get OneNote (if you don’t have it already).  This way you will be prepared as soon as inspiration hits you or if you need to access your notes in a jiffy.  Be sure to synchronize your personal computers, work computers and all mobile devices.  You’ll never know when you’ll need to access your notes the most! 

Here is an overview of all the neat things you can do with OneNote for ultimate organization and note-taking:

• Take notes without distractions.

• Use quick notes to write down urgent info. and file them later.

• Search all notes (typed, handwritten, audio/video) or individual pages/section with the search tools.

• Insert screen clippings from important documents to your notes.

• Use the Draw functions to take handwritten notes.

• Use the Draw functions to take handwritten notes over screen clippings, scanned images or other attachments.

• Make searchable tables and organize your information in them.

• Attach hyperlinks or file attachments to your tables for instant reference.

• Use the Linked Notes option to take notes with instant references attached.

• Create unlimited notes, pages, sections, etc.

• Never worry again about sifting through piles of loose papers or traditional notebooks ever again!

• Use the tags to mark important notes and check off boxes on your to-do lists for ultimate organization.

• Integrate OneNote with Outlook and SkyDrive for instant access anywhere.

• And much more!  The creative possibilities are endless once you get to know the program.

If you’re a businessperson who will also be using OneNote, I also recommend putting together an email list of all the people you will be in regular contact with.  This can make it easier when you go to share your notebooks through email or the web.  It can also ensure that you don’t accidentally share your notebooks with the wrong person. 

I hope this book was able to help you to understand and discover just how powerful and productive OneNote is! 

The next step is to purchase OneNote (if you already have it), and just start playing around with it!  I find that the best way to learn the ins and outs of a program is to just play around with it and explore each and every icon.  Of course, you can also refer back to the chapters in this book for helpful advice.  I can tell you OneNote has made my life as an author so much more efficient and organized!  I have my whole personal and business life on OneNote and I have done my best to organize all this information the way a genius mastermind would do so.  I urge you to do the same.
