I started using this method after seeing this video and it changed my life. I am so organized it's ridiculous. I no longer have that constant dread of "what am I missing??" Thanks so much!
I reviewed several UA-cam videos on using Outlook and One Note for GTD, and this one made the most sense to me. I liked that you told us the time versus showing us how to build a clock! Nice job, and thank you.
Great tips.. I would recommend adding the email to create a new task directly. Then add steps you have from to-do. Managing from to- do is much easier than from OneNote.
Archive process is also a good move to keep the size of Outlook PST file in the smaller form. It also helps to reduce the risk of damage in PST file due to the violation of predefined size limit.
Informative. Very helpful to learn how to connect OneNote with Outlook tasks and calendar. As a suggestion, you would get more hits and help more people if you mentioned the GTD system in the title of the video (if you're legally allowed to do that). I have been searching and searching for the best way to set up GTD in OneNote, and this video was low on the results. I also refrained from watching it because it didn't seem to address what I was searching for. This video was helpful. It would be great if you guys made a video tutorial about how to set up OneNote for GTD as well!
Very interesting info. Though on a Mac for many years I used Outlook, yet not aware of its integration with Outlook. Now moving to Windows this is quite good information. Question: Why do guys wear their hats backwards? With the hat backwards goofy things happen, 1. Half circle tan on forehead; ugly. 2. Is the guy is a Bubba "not-right-bright" he does not know the bill goes in the front? 3. First impression is absolutely not good. Wearing it backwards does not help their appearance, nor creates confidence in them.
You mentioned that the "Capture" tab is for temp storage, what do you do with the email in "onenote" when you finish breaking it down? Do you store all email in one note or are some stored in Outlook, or does it only depend on the projects and categories
I have never understood the purpose of OneNote .. I would try to play with it and would stop using it in a couple days. This is the first time ANYONE has actually been able to tell me what it is for in a practical way. I only have Outlook.com as my MS-Office is the student/home version, but I'm going to poke around the OneNote it has to see how similar it is.
Thank you both! Thats a great video. Just one question from here. When I mark a task as an outlook task in one note, outlook creates a task with the full link to the note in one note. Is there a way to remake this long link into an icon, as shown in your video (6:23)? I am using Office 16 on Windows 10.
Hey! I'm wondering if Outlook is capable of creating a queue for an email? I'm managing a team of 10 folks, and they are working on a single email(distribution list) but some of them are cherry picking some emails that are much easier to others.. so is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Set three most important task for the day and only focus all your energy to complete these three task first and as soon as possible using the Daily Task 123: To do list.
Good to know a few things here and there but honestly the video is too long for the content you have covered and the method also feels like too rigid and complicated.

Running outlook and onenote on a mac. I do not see the Onenote button on the Move section of the ribbon. Do you have any ideas on how to add it in, BTW using the latest verson of office.
Why not just drag the email to the task icon at the bottom? This creates the task automatically with the email embedded in it. you can then skip the OneNote step...
+Shivati Starr - Get your Outlook looking like the one in the video at 1:46. Left click on the email and drag this email down to one of the icons at the bottom left - checklist to make a Task or Calendar to make an appointment...Good luck.
Given I use One Note quite a bit from my iPAD, I am trying to see how to move an email from my iPad either the Outlook app or the iOS mail app and have the email sent to OneNote. Any ideas? the option does not come up.
Seems like a lot of work just to create tasks. Evernote can do this very fast and no selecting text and all. I don't need Outlook to accomplish this either.
That wasn't really training; seemed more like someone going through their own computer and stumbling on how they have figured things out with this software.
I wish he would have practiced more for this video, seemed so unsure the whole way like he was making it up as he went along. Like oh yeah, whoops, we have to do this first
I am still going to need to be shown this information again. I found your delivery of the material clumsy and confusing. I listened very intently, but you lost me during the third stumble, and I couldn't listen anymore. Please try doing this again. Thank you for trying.
follow-up; many steps sound like a question (ending on up-pitch) it's distracting. Human nature is to process a question when you hear that "lilt". I stop listening to you and ask myself "what was the question?" because I wasn't expecting interaction - learn to use precision of language and motion. Instruct, not demonstrate. EDITED: I really want to help you, help me! (lol) I had no idea where we were going with this, until it already happened. Remember, I'm hearing this for the very first time. I would start with a quick white-board chart; incoming email, copy to one note so we can add organization information, then add these organization steps to outlook calendar tasks.Explain what you're going to do, then show me how to do it in as few words and steps as possible. Most can get the idea (no need to tell me i can set up unlimited tabs, or set up unlimited categories or category colors...blah blah blah) Thanks guys, i'm really glad you took the time to do this...just let me help you do it well. :-)
way too clicky, switching around, and squiggling of the mouse and superfelous words - LESS is more. extremely difficult to follow what's going on. I only lasted a minute or so.

Outlook has a very good task management function, just use it forget one note for this sort of stiff.

I'd love to see your guys's take on the GTD implementation in OneNote. :-/ How soon is very soon ?

This tutorial was fantastic. I loved they she personalized the pages. Great job!
You jumped right into using categories, and then defined what a category is at the end of the video!

Very useful. Good job, guys!
Thanks for the tutorial. I thought it was pretty good. Makes me want to get back in to GTD

Can you zoom into the screen more as it is hard to read. A better visual can be faster to learn. :)
Great video. Clearly explained. Well done and thank you
Cool stuff guys! Thanks for sharing.
Why are my tasks not showing in the calendar like yours are?
Thanks a lot! You helped me to put in practice some concepts of GTD using O365. Cheers!

Nice video. Learned new ways of using OneNote and Outlook tasks together. Thanks!
+Marshall Jackson Thank you for the feedback.
Great video guys. Gave me some good ideas.
I have a question, I am sorry if it is kind of dumb. Why do you use an @ before the categories? is there a purpose why?
How to do a backup of OneNote? How to use OneNote offline? Please do a video on these topics. Thanks.
Hey guys, where is the article written!!! tks
How to show tasks in outlook calendar page just like he did in video?
SO HELPFUL! thanks for posting... great job
My Onenote layout no longer looks like this, is this an update or is there a way to return it to this setup?
Good to know a few things here and there but honestly the video is too long for the content you have covered and the method also feels like too rigid and complicated.
Very helpful guys. Asante sana.
thank you guys! very useful :)
I am really wondering why you take the way over OneNote. Why don’t you transfer your eMail into a task directly?

I cant seem to set up my tool bar in the same format as you were showing, I have no Home Tab and dont seem to be able to add one, can you help?

+Pablo B Unfortunately a lot of these features are disabled on the mac version. You can drag and drop an email in OneNote but that is about it.
+SimpleFly Tech Thank you for the very quick response. Unlucky on my part
Why not just drag the email to the task icon at the bottom? This creates the task automatically with the email embedded in it. you can then skip the OneNote step...
+Andrew Sherriff That's definitely an option but OneNote gives you better control over projects.

could this be translated over to mobile some how?
Great. Thank you for this!
Tnx for sharing guys!
thanks
I want to turn the focus off , how can I do that?
I'll still be darned it I could figure this out?
My Outlook looks very differently...

You made a simple project very complex, you are spending more time faffing about in one note when you could have done the project.
That wasn't really training; seemed more like someone going through their own computer and stumbling on how they have figured things out with this software.
Devo Dar they never even explained what ‘categories’ was...the rest of the video I was lost
OUR A GOOD DEAL VERY DEED BEGINS TOOK I HELPFUL GIVE TO MICROSOFT ONENOTE WHICH OR OTHER
Exactly what I thought
I don't have "Categories"here
Must be UA-cam comments... people are so rude anymore.
that's great, however, it seems so confusing
I think that is not possible for a one msm army Company 'cause takes too much steps and time.
online screen was too small to follow which tabs you were clicking....unreadable
