I just started playing with Microsoft One Note to organize notes on my Novel and it made me wonder of ways I can integrate it into my GTD System. Is there anyone who uses OneNote in there system? How do you use it?

Member Exclusive: A Project In My Calendar

Hi everyone,

I sometimes have a project that suddenly came at me and has to be started and finished today, so I enter it into my calendar. But the point here is like this:

GTD Times: Regret: A Powerful Motivator
