The Virtues of OneNote

OneNote is to Note taking what Outlook is to email. There simply is no comparison to other programs. They don’t even come close. I thought I loved OneNote. I use it for business to keep notes on meetings and trainings I attend. I use it on my phone to track my grocery list and reminders. I use it to document my progress through a project so I don’t forget where I left off or what that temporary password was that I set or what that setting was I just made. But then I watched Parrish and he’s the biggest OneNote fan there is. He’s made steady progress at getting pretty much everything Harbor does out of Excel and into OneNote. So we’re big OneNote fans and here’s why you might want to become one too.

OneDrive notes are sharable and live editable. Meaning if I’m in the grocery store and another item is added to the list I see it immediately. If I check off an item everyone sees that I’ve got it. Boom!

Office Lens is must have app whether you are using OneNote or not. With Office Lens you can use your phone like a scanner. Take a photo and it will crop it automatically, sharpen it and adjust the camera to take the best photo of a projected screen, white board or document. It then sends it to OneNote, OneDrive, Word, as photo and OCR’s it for you. So even if you just have a physical copy you can store it as a note.

From this —————————-to this automatically
