Q: does anyone know if there is any other keyboard driven way to set these tags, except the poorly designed ctl-1, ctl-2. There appears to be no way to set the tags via a keyboard shortcut except using these - no menu navigation. Wouldn't be so bad except that if you create a new tag the shortcuts all get changed, ctl-1 gets assigned to the new tag, etc. And then using "Find Tags", much as describes.Ī) the keyboard shortcuts for OneNote tags are suboptimal - ctl-1, ctl-2, etc. I have been thinking about - actually set up, but I thought that I would ask this forum if anyone has tried anything similar, pros/cons - creating different OneNote tags for each of the GTD Next Action contexts, and tagging sentences / paragraphs describing the next action with the corresponding context tag.
Those actions are all on one page, so I guess I do a bit of an amalgamation of styles depending on when things pop into my brain. I have a template page set up in that section with the trigger list so everytime I click “new page” to start a Mindsweep everything is right there. I do have a Mindsweeps section-I do all my mindsweeps in there and then create Outlook tasks from the lists (or send my personal tasks to Things3). It’s much better for me to get it out of my head the nanosecond it appears there, no matter what page I’m on in OneNote. When I was trying to go back to an actual action item page to write whatever action item had just occurred to me, most of the time I’d forget what my action item was by the time I got to where I wanted to write it down, LOL. When I complete the task in Outlook it automatically marks it as done in OneNote so I’ll see it later. That way, when I’m looking at reference material, if something related to that material pops into my brain as an action, I just click somewhere on that page to write up my action (now including the link to the relevant page), and flag it as an Outlook task and schedule it from there. So what seems to work for me is to have my actual next actions scattered throughout the notebooks but always linked to Outlook, which is my primary “get ‘er done” task list. I think in categories-which project, which event (project), which agenda for which person, and so forth. I also tried making each action a new page for the drag-and-drop function, but that just got annoying with a mish-mash of pages all in a row, and it wasn’t fast enough to type when I was doing my Mindsweeps. I tried piling all my next actions on a single page in OneNote but that didn’t actually work for me.
I’m a “mad user” of OneNote-it’s my go-to storage, reference, and organizational method, mostly because we use Outlook for work and I love being able to send tasks and emails back and forth.
