Thank you so much! I'm currently a senior in high school, and this has given me tons of inspiration on better ways to structure my notes. this will definitely improve my efficiency :)
Thanks so much for this and your other videos! I just changed jobs/careers and new boss loves OneNote and suggested I give it a try. My question is how are you keeping your person and work separate or are you using them together and then if/when a new job comes along, you will transfer your personal notebooks to another account? Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again for such great content. Definitely a new subscriber 😊
Thanks so much for your video! I am in the look of starting using PARA method and also buy a Supernote. Please Andy can you share how you export your supernote notes into OneNote? thanks in advance!
Hey Andy - Great Work. I just started reading about Tiago's second brain concept and enticed by it and have researched quite a lot, but come back to OneNote and Evernote as the go-to apps. I was interested in Readwise but seems expensive and also doesn't have any integrations with OneNote. Do you capture highlights from books/instapaper/pockets, etc.v into OneNote? If yes, would you if is there a similar automated way like Readwise is for evernote?
I always find myself crawling back to onenote after 20 yeras but some of my favorite old features are missing, like Linked Notes on web sites. Now they have Sticky Notes with kind of a similar feature... I still have to use the Windows 10 version for some features as well.
Hi! Great videos about OneNote! In this one you quickly mentioned that you are using a supernote device? So am I, and I seem not to be able to get my handwritten notes from Supernote to OneNote so that they are searchable... I tried export as pdf and as png, as I read that OneNote should be able to read handwriting from images... How do you transfer your notes from supernote to OneNote? Thank you very much for your response!
If I understand what you’re looking for, it does have backlinks. You can hit Alt+backarrow to jump back to the location you jumped from (and to keep going back through your history of pages/paragraphs visited previously during your current session). You can also create links to notebooks, sections, pages and paragraphs, to jump back from anywhere else. If you use tags, you can use the tag search function (on the desktop version) to create index pages, with hyperlinks. You can also use the search history to jump back to locations you’ve accessed over the last day or week. Overall, the linking and navigation options are unparalleled, in my opinion.
Good, clear video on your organizational structure. I do not understand the distinction between the "Areas" and "Resources" folders. - - - If I create a new note, on what basis should I decide to put it in "Areas" or "Resources"?
Areas involve the regular, day-to-day tasks you need to stay on top of. It’s the ongoing work that keeps everything in your work or life running smooth. Resources are where you accumulate knowledge. It's where you collect info for when you might need it. You might not use the info in this notebook every day, but they’re there when you need to look something up or get inspired.
@@AndyPark365 Andy, thanks for responding. I defer to you as to PARA, but I am very surprised to hear you say that “Areas” is for “day-to-day” tasks. Why? Because when you reviewed your “Areas” tasks (sub-folders), there were 15-20. I don’t have more than 5 “day-to-day” tasks. I bet most people don’t have 15-20 either. If you restate and say “Areas” is for tasks of any kind, then I get it. However, I believe tasks are best managed with a dedicated task manager app. My rudimentary understand of MS OneNote is that it is predominately s note-taking / storage system.
Areas is where I manage routine things that require maintenance. Not necessarily all tasks. Some are just notes. For example, in the home section, I track the last time I changed the HVAC filter, log home repairs like plumbing issues, and keep records of warranties for my generators. For a more detailed explanation, please visit Tiago Forte's website. You should review the source, as I'm applying my interpretation of his concepts. Thanks.
I use Onetastic but haven't used Gem. It's something I've been wanting to try for some time. Will consider trying it and can share my experience. Thanks for the suggestion.
@andypark365 how do you deal with the fact that OneNote is not E2EE compliant? Microsoft (and employees) could pull up your notes and read them. I notice you put your health information in a notebook.
Question: in 02_AREAS, you have a BOOKS section. Would it contain the books you are currently reading AND books you've completed? Or would you have a BOOKS section in 04_ARCHIVE for completed books? Related question: if the book is on 'Video Editing Tips', would you put your summary notes of that book in the 03_RESOURCES section with your other video notes? Or in 02_AREAS?
Not defending MS (or more like Crowdstrike in the case of the outage), but some of us have no choice when it comes to remaining with MS. The corporate world by far uses MS, from desktops to servers to infrastructure. In my case as a freelancer, my bread and butter is Office in order to support my customers. And maybe people who live in the MS world at their work need MS products at home in order to interface with their work. In the case of OneNote, it's still a good tool for what it does, it's included in Office, and for other similar online tools you generally have to pay through the nose and STILL risk your privacy. If I weren't consulting would I switch to Linux? Possibly. I hate the idea of Recall and I'll do what I can to keep it off my machines or disabled.
imagine changing your software usage over nonsense that has nothing to do with the software you are using. I don't care if OneNote was made by Thanos or nazis it's still good software
@@graytonw5238I felt the same way about a platform or software back in the days with Wordperfect and Lotus 123, but everything evolves and don’t remain the same unfortunately. I always keep a copy of Microsoft Word around just case someone sends me a document created in Word. Great content by the way
love your video! Your content is always so helpful. I would love to collaborate with you. I'll send you an email soon-please keep an eye out for it. Looking forward to hearing from you!
