I (required) use 365 and trying to move from Evernote. I want to use Apple Notes but without a true html or windows app, I need to make Onenote/Outlook/Todo work for me.
There was a potential in OneNote2016 and ToDo, but they failed to deliver anything in 5 years. From simple (ToDo) and almost "pre-installed" (OneNote) experience, to frustrating.. totally separate apps - this is my experience.
The problem with Microsoft apps is the inconsistencies between the desktop and the mobile apps. You can do all these things you mentioned in the video on the desktop, but not on mobile.
Samsung Calendar + Bixby for reminders is way better than Google at this point on Android. Samsung sync with Microsoft ToDo now and their calendar app actually works and shows todos + events. Outlook app you can make Tasks, but only from a MS account. You can still flag and see in TD.
love it! when you're in calendar view, you can also drag your tasks into your calendar to create appointments and time block your days. this is really nice since my work calendar doesn't let me connect my calendar with third-party apps
I am so grateful for this video. Please keep doing more of these. I'm really excited about the Second Brain/GTD/Productivity concepts. Work revolves around MS and that will not change. I tried to learn Notion but felt like I needed to learn a whole programing language on top of figuring out how to work the program and then how to adapt it to my needs. My new "productive-minded" brain thinks that I should invest time in getting great at one ecosystem that I can adapt to work and home, rather than splitting my effort trying to use multiple systems only to be mediocre or decent at the system that's the flavor of the month.
To create the website shortcut as an "app" on my Edge installation (version 106) I went to: 3 dots menu on top right --> Apps --> Install this site as an App --> Then select options you want with that shortcut.
To be honest, because of the reminders and calendar integrations that MS office has with iOS, it makes their software suite one of the best for me. OneNote to To-Do, pops up on apple calendar and reminders watchfaces. I have the Modular Duo watchface with a timer in the top-left pocket, Outlook's "Meeting Day View" in the middle, and Reminders in the bottom. Maybe its not "second brain" but I have a hard enough time with my first brain, so just keeping an eye on my day and what I'm supposed to be doing really helps. Just wish it showed more than 1 reminder at a time
Workplace is MS-centric, but integrating Notion into this is the goal. Notion offers so much, but SharePoint/Teams is not going to go away. Would love to see more business content on how these might co-exist to reap the benefits of both and lure those MS users into better ways.
For some of us working in the corporate world we are stuck with the MS pass and can’t use things like Notion. Which is a shame but it’s been that way in the 4 corporates I’ve worked in.
I have a beta version of OneNote, and it looks better than it is right now. Hope you will get an update on the current channel soon and tell us your impressions
I'm still unclear how to integrate OneNote with MS Todo. I want a task, I guess an Outlook task, to link back to a OneNote note. Is this possible? I see you did something like that but I guess you were in the desktop version of OneNote. I get so confused about all the version of that app. Edit: you did say you had to have a business account, so I guess there's my answer. :/
The first thing you do is show a browser specific method -- and you're using a relatively obscure browser (Brave) -- so that method is different/not available on other browsers. :-(
Please tell me there’s a work around to Outlook OneNote integration. I returned to Microsoft platform at the start of this year, the integration between Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft OneNote on Mac platform was phenomenal. Then something happened and from April 2023 this integration plugin has never worked. Do you have any solution for this problem, plz? 😢
Thanks for information. How do you get the other MS Suite app icons on the left for quick access? They populate for all apps other than outlook. thanks in advance
So an email could have one task and you can move it from email to Todo and if an email has multiple tasks (project) you can move it to OneNote and manage the project from OneNote?
That jumble of thoughts is impossible to parse. Outlook can send an entire email into OneNote. Flagging an email inside Outlook shows it in To Do. Outlook for the web has a feature where you can select text in an email and can turn that text into a task.
@@DemetriPanici It's okay - I was able to figure it out using an actual set of examples from email (ToDo and OneNote)....tested it and I think the work flow is great.
Is there a way to create a Task from text in OneNote on the web version? As a Mac user I simply cannot find a way to do that either in the native app or the web version. Same goes for converting handwriting into text when captured on an iPad. So very frustrating.
Many thanks for the great video, I am office 365 subscriber. I have onenote on MAC and can't find the option of the horizontal tabs in my version, is this an issue in MAC or my version?
Microsoft apps are too disconnected. The integration doesn't feel seamless. They should build something more like Trello or other kanban style tool that integrates projects, to-dos, and a calendar with email, SharePoint, and OneNote. Microsoft has apps to do different things, but their integration is horrible. The sloppy integration is why companies are using other project software liker Atlassian tools, or notion, etc. Microsoft of all of the enterprise players should be leading in this space, but they fail at making a seamless workflow.
