In this article I will list 8 reasons why I think you should be using OneNote, particularly if you are disorganised.

You can create shopping lists, keep track of useful websites for DIY work, keep track of spending and much more.

With multiple notebooks you can even have one for work and one for home so you can keep on top of things no matter where you are.

This is particularly useful if you receive a lot of emails and need to keep on top of certain projects.

You can link emails from different people into a single page in OneNote and have all that information in one place.

Combined with linking emails in you can have all the information about a project in a single page.

No more clicking around trying to find where you stored that spreadsheet file.

Microsoft OneNote is available on Windows, OS X, iOS and Android meaning that you can open your notebook on your laptop, Android phone, Macbook or iPhone.

The ability to share notebooks and specify whether people can edit them or only view them.

Using this feature of Microsoft OneNote in a work environment enables a project leader to create a notebook and share it with the whole team who can then change sections as work is completed.

It can then be shared with management as read-only so that they can see the progress without the risk of them making changes.

One particularly great feature within the sharing facility is that changes are annotated with the initials of the person who made the changes.

Ive also found this useful when youre driving or doing something else which prevents you from being able to type.

Video notes are a great way for recording a meeting and then sharing it with team members who werent able to attend rather than just sending minutes which may have missed an important piece of information.

The search facility will crawl through all of the sections and pages and return results from anywhere in the entire notebook.

There is not much else to say about this other than it makes life a lot easier when youre trying to find something you noted down 6 months ago but cant remember where.

It is great when you want to take a quick note or have an idea that requires illustrating.
