Typical static data and information gets moved to the references sections.For larger projects I create custom todo tags to keep them in order MeetingNotes and workshops – Gets moved to the MeetingNotes Section under the correct project and actions are assigned the proper toodo task.Gets moved to the mobile section, will not get assigned a task, unless it is important. This way I always have something to do when I only have my mobile with me. Stuff I can consume on a mobile device like a YouTube video, article or book I would like to read at a later time.TODO When Time Permits – All the tasks that I think I someday do I mark in this category and move it to SomedayMaybe.Waiting for Response – all the tasks I have delegated and need to circle back to for checking status.
Why OneNote tags? They get synced on all my platforms and operating systems for PC and mobile. I do that by assigning custom tags to actions and move them to the correct section in OneNote such as Current, Mobile, SomedayMaybe or if it is more static information I move it to the reference section. You can use “Find Tags” in OneNote to create lists from your custom tags where you can prioritize your next action! I use custom tags in OneNote to prioritize and create my todo listsĪfter sending tasks and information to my collection section in OneNote I need to process all the information and create actions.
