Organize phone text

I've been using OneNote for a few years now. The main reason was to become more organized. You see, I'm constantly thinking of tasks I need to do. I have ideas for new videos, I need to write down the name of a new app someone just told me about. I ended up collecting these in different places, and none of them were being synced. A lot of these disappeared into a black hole. In this video, I'm going to share with you some OneNote tips and tricks and how I like to use it. (upbeat music) Before we get started a brief thanks to Skillshare for sponsoring today's video. Skillshare is a learning platform with lots of great classes. And I have a special link for you that gives you two months free premium access. You're going to find it in the description of this video. But I'm going to chat more about them towards the end, so stay tuned for that. Now let's continue with our tips. David Allen, the author of "Getting Things Done." By the way, it's a great book, and I highly recommend it if you're interested in increasing your productivity. He says, your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.

There are three main levels, the highest level Is the notebook, just like the physical notebook, they can hold many pages. Next level down are sections. Think of this like chapters in a book. And finally there are pages. These holds your actual notes. Let's say we create a notebook to hold all your recipes. We can either right click and select New Notebook, or we click on the Add notebook down here. The sections in this notebook could be the different types of dishes. So we can create a section for appetizers, one for main dishes, one for vegetarian dishes, one for desserts, and so on. You get the idea. Within the sections, we add the separate pages for the actual recipe. So here we have a recipe for a wild rice and mushroom burger. We have the ingredients, the directions, and we can add pictures and even link to where we got the recipe from. Apart from these recipes, I usually have notebooks for ideas for videos with different sections depending on the progress, like brainstorming, research, or scripting. And I have a notebook for private things like shopping lists, vacation and so on. If you need more hierarchy levels, you can...
