Micrsoft OneNote

I just found this awesome new program called OneNote. It takes all those scraps of paper and yellow stickies and ideas and files and messages and website links and pictures and stuff floating around in your computer or your desk or your head and lets you stash them in a neat way. It's alot like a word processor, but it divides your notes in a logical way and lets you move them around. You can add pictures and shapes and drawings and things like that, even audio or video clips. You can even write a quick note to capture a thought and send it right to OneNote, and you can instantly send things like email messages and files and links to OneNote with one click. Pretty cool if you're computer-oriented and you can afford the program (about $100). You can download a free 30-day trial version at the Microsoft Office website.

OneNote & Office

Good post for the ADD crowd. What are the main things that OneNote can do that you can't do with Outlook Notes and folders? I'm sure there are many. If you came across a good summary, please let this forum know. Also, after you've used it a while, be sure to tell us in what way it's helping/working (or not) .

Thanks.

Hi ADDaway,

Outlook notes are basically just sticky notes. OneNote lets you type on a whole page, anywhere on the page, just like real paper. And you can insert just about anything on the page - links, images of pictures or documents, etc. You can even create Outlook tasks that will show up in Outlook too. And the organization is a big part of it - you can just look at it and see where everything is and get right to it.

Here's the homepage for OneNote:

Microsoft didn't create this for people with ADD, of course, so they don't know what they've got. But for me, it's great to have one place to put all my thoughts and bits of info instead of on scraps of paper everywhere.
