How to delete a notebook he notes. OneNote - what is this program

"Pull yourself together, rag!" - I said to myself when I realized that the work would soon finish. Either she is you, or you are her.

Endless attempts at GTD programs did not bring happiness. A lot of data interfered with comfortable work.
It was not possible to link tasks and data within one GTD program. The stream of letters was stored in Outlook, documents and other files on disk, some information on web resources, and so on. In solving cases, you had to spend time looking for related data. There were problems with the synchronization of information on different devices and much more.

But he who seeks will always find! The way out of the stalemate turned out to be Microsoft OneNote 2013, which, with simple settings, easily turned into a full-fledged GTD tool. Only this approach allowed us to overcome all the problems and feel the comfort from using the GTD.

By its purpose, Microsoft OneNote does not belong to the group of programs for GTD and is an electronic version of the notebook. More precisely, this is a program in which you can create an almost unlimited number of notebooks. OneNote notebooks are suitable for storing any personal information and data. The inner content of the books is divided into sections (sections). Sections contain pages. It is possible to build a hierarchy of pages.

Thanks to its architecture, OneNote is easy to configure to get things done.

For those who are familiar with English,
I recommend reading the article This is why OneNote is awesome.
which reveals all the advantages of OneNote.

We perform in the evening, at dawn

To customize the structure of OneNote for GTD, just a few simple steps.

The gas generator is designed to generate gas in the gas generator

And now for the fun part: how to force GTD to work in OneNote.
The benchmark is the basic GTD processing algorithm.
In my interpretation of OneNote, the algorithm looks like this.

Let's walk through the algorithm.

Collection of primary information

One of the main principles of GTD is to get rid of all unnecessary information from your head. As David Alan says, our minds are not suited for storing ideas, but for generating them. Therefore, we transfer all the primary information coming from external sources and which requires comprehension to the OneNote Inbox section. Letters, documents, ideas, thoughts, plans and so on. Create a separate page for each information item.

Treatment

We periodically process the data accumulated in the "Incoming" section. Thinking about what to do with this? How important the collected information is to us, whether it is a reference, a task or a project. Or is it a reminder of upcoming events? Or just rubbish?

Organization

You have to do something about it

If the information requires us to take any action, we transfer it to the "Tasks" section.

Or we do it right away if it takes less than two minutes

We analyze whether it is possible to complete the task in one action, or if this requires more steps.
For single tasks, set one of the tags in the page header:

Now- the highest priority task
Then / Postpone- a less priority task, you can postpone it for now
Commissioned / Control- the task is in the process of discussing or waiting for external events

If several steps are required to complete the task, we mark it with the "Project" tag.
We carry out natural planning (defining goals, desired results, brainstorming, defining specific actions). Add children to the project page. Child pages are a sequence of tasks that must be completed to successfully complete a project.

It is convenient to add tags using the hotkeys Ctrl + 1, Ctrl + 2 and so on.

On the pages we place all information related to the task or project.
We copy files, letters, documents, pictures, links and so on.

Although, to be honest, things are not so simple with projects. How to organize them is a private matter for everyone. You can, for example, create a separate section for them, or even a group of sections. In a section group, each tab will correspond to a separate project. This is convenient if there are a lot of tasks within the project. On the other hand, with a lot of projects, there is a chance to get confused with bookmarks.

You don't need to do anything

All data from the "Incoming" section, which does not require any action, are processed according to the following rules:

we delete information of no interest;
important reference data, which may be useful, we transfer to the group of sections "Reference information";
tasks that require additional comprehension or for which the time has not yet come,
move to the "Sometime" section; for this type of pages we put the tag "Sometime".

Scheduling tasks

There are cases that need to be reminded and completed at a certain point in time. Unfortunately, OneNote doesn't have an internal reminder mechanism. However, for those with Outlook, there is a workaround. On the OneNote page, simply add any flag from the Outlook Tasks list and Outlook will automatically create a task with a link to the OneNote page.

Overview

Any system requires constant monitoring. GTD will work if the user regularly reviews the data. This is a very important process as information tends to become outdated very quickly. The survey is best done daily and weekly at specific times.

In your day-to-day work, it is very convenient to use the Tag Summary panel. It is activated by the button "Find tags".

The panel displays a complete list of tasks grouped by tags. In this case, you can adjust the viewing of only completed or unfinished cases (the "Show only unchecked items" flag).

The expression "soak in the outhouse" spoken by the president,
you understood too literally!

In the beginning, I planned and wrote an article only for colleagues at work. Inspired by the course of Maxim Dorofeev "Jedi technique of empty inbox or how to bring things to the end." As it turned out, the problem of choosing software for GTD is relevant for many. Not finding information on the use of OneNote in conjunction with GTD in the Russian-language part of the Internet, I decided to publish the article for a wider circle of readers. The article tried to describe the most balanced configuration option, worked out in practice.

Hello everyone. Let's talk today about such a program as OneNote, I will tell you what kind of program it is and you can understand whether you need it or not. Maybe there are some other programs with the name OneNote, but today I will tell you exactly about the program that is included in Windows 10. OneNote goes like a tiled program, I personally have it in the Start menu and I need it in order to write something down, well, what you need to remember. It’s an electronic notebook, so to speak, where you can write down anything you want, you can even draw ..

I read on the Internet that it seems like OneNote is especially convenient for those who have tablets, because there is a handwriting function. Honestly, I have a lot of thoughts and it happens that I write something down, so I also became interested to look at this OneNote, maybe this program will come in handy for me? Moreover, the program is free and can be downloaded from the Microsoft website .. The fact is that on the test computer I have a regular Windows 10, but on the main computer I have Windows 10 LTSB, in this version there is no OneNote, there are also no other tiled programs. Although, I just thought, but in this case, I can install OneNote at all? Well, okay, I'll find out everything later, but now we will get acquainted with the program

Look, here is this OneNote program in the Windows 10 Start menu:

Well, let's try now to run this OneNote program? In general, I launched it, the following window appeared:

That is, here we need to log into Microsoft for this program to work. Hmm, here you need to think a little .. In short, I choose the second item, well, that is, Work or study account, then an input field for phone or mail appeared, I wrote a mail here and clicked Next:

Then such a window appeared:

And to be honest, I don't quite understand here, that is, it turns out that we need to enter the password for the Microsoft account, right? Well, and I'm not registered there .. Yes, that's right, registration is needed here, because even when I tried to recover the password, it was written to me that you, as an identifier, are not in the Microsoft database:

That is, one conclusion can already be made in order to use the OneNote program, then you must definitely be registered with Microsoft, and this personally annoys me a little

Okay, so what am I going to try to do? I started the OneNote program again, then I selected Personal Microsoft account there, and I tried to register. I filled in all the fields, then clicked on Next:

Then there were two checkboxes regarding the display of materials, in general, I click Next here:

Well, I clicked on the Confirm button, then the page loaded, I closed it and went to the OneNote program, there I was asked to enter the Windows password, but since I don't have it, I just clicked Next:

These are kapets guys, but I already thought that I would need to do something else in order to launch this OneNote program, but hurray, it seems that the hemorrhage is already over, because I saw that everything is ready, it remains only to click on the Open OneNote button :

Well, I pressed this button and this is what it seemed to me, look:

And this window, it has been hanging with me for about five minutes for sure .. I do not know what it does there ... Honestly, I was already beginning to think that there might be some kind of glitch? In short, guys, my patience has run out, it has been hanging for about 15 minutes, it's unrealistic a lot, I close the window, reboot and start the OneNote program again! And you guys know what? A joke was waiting for me here too! In short, I registered with Microsoft for the OneNote program, right? Well, now I have a Microsoft account, and to enter the computer, well, that is, in Windows, I had to enter the password for the account. So here are the things guys, know that by registering with Microsoft for the OneNote program, you are registering with a Microsoft account, which will be used as your account! But since you set the password for the account, then when you log into Windows, you will be required to have this password! Well, is it more or less clear to you? I hope so, yes. In general, I entered the password (it's good that I wrote it down at least), then Windows booted, now I started OneNote again, and this time it already started normally, this is how this program looks like, I expanded the window to full screen:

Well, let's see what this OneNote program can do? So in the upper left part there is such a button as Page, so I clicked on it, a new entry immediately appeared, so to speak, so I wrote the following text there:

If you right-click on the record, I mean on the left, there will be a menu like this:

Excuse me, of course, I just don't know this program myself, but I'll show you a little what I understand here myself, that is, I'll figure it out. You see, at the top there are buttons, well, or tabs, such as Home, Insert, Draw, View. Well, here I chose the Drawing tab and I managed to draw here, and look, it turns out that both text and drawing, this can be done in one entry, so to speak:

At the top there are all sorts of tools, well, to draw. You can also choose a color. If you need to erase something, that is, an eraser, to turn it on from you need to click on this button:

On the Insert tab, you can insert something into the record, for example, I inserted a picture and this is what happened:

The picture was inserted normally, is it possible to move it to another place, then I do not know, I tried it, but I personally did not succeed. Maybe there is no such function at all.

You can also insert a paragraph, but not a simple one, but with an icon, for this there is such a menu:

For example, I've chosen the Important and Question paragraph types, and this is how such paragraphs look in the record:

In general, guys, I think it's more or less clear how to use OneNote, right? To use, then of course you need to be registered with Microsoft, then you start OneNote, create a record there, write something, insert pictures, draw there, well, in short, do what you want. Then you can close OneNote, then start again and the record will contain everything that was at the time of closing. Well, that is, the OneNote program saves everything, you will not lose anything. It is also important that all your records will be, as it were, in the Microsoft cloud, what does this mean? Well, that is, on another computer, on another Windows 10, you can go to OneNote using your mail and password, and after that you will be shown all your notes. These are the pies guys

By the way, to change the account, you need to click in the upper right corner by mail, after which a window will appear, where you can add another account.

If you click on this button:

Then the following menu will appear:

Well guys, in principle, there is nothing complicated in the OneNote program, and I think that everyone can master it. It's another matter, will you like this program? I personally didn’t like it very much, but I personally didn’t like it, but you might like it. The hardest thing, or rather not entirely pleasant, is that you need to register to start using OneNote, well, here's an unpleasant joke And of course another joke is that when registering, you get to create a Microsoft account, set a password, and like me wrote, you will need to enter this password when entering Windows. Can this be fixed? Can you guys, for this you need to turn off the password prompt at login, do you know how to do this? I'll show you now, look, hold down the Win + R buttons, the Run window will appear, you write the following command there:

Then click OK, you will see the User Accounts window, you just need to uncheck this box here:

Click OK, then you will still need to enter your password twice:

This is for security reasons. As you can see, it is not difficult to disable this password entry. That's the way guys are

The OneNote program works under such a process as onenoteim.exe, here it is in the task manager:

As you can see, the onenoteim.exe process does not load the processor, it consumes a little RAM. OneNote starts from this folder:

C: \ Program Files \ WindowsApps \ Microsoft.Office.OneNote_17.6868.57981.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

But you see, the path itself, or rather the folder itself where the onenoteim.exe file is located, then its name is so unusual, we can say that it is unique. Your name will most likely be a little different, well, that is, it is also unique

I also found a picture, look, here you can see the OneNote program, so to speak, in all its glory, see:

Well guys, now it remains for me to show you how to remove OneNote from your computer completely. However, I want to warn you that it seems that if you delete OneNote, then it can no longer be restored. I'm not sure about that, but it seems to be the case. Well, in order to uninstall OneNote, you first need to run something like Windows PowerShell, at the bottom of the taskbar there is a Windows search, so I typed Windows PowerShell there and it then appeared in the results, well, there I right-clicked and selected Run from administrator:

Then a blue window appeared, well, how command line, only the window is blue and the title says Administrator: Windows PowerShell, in general, I inserted the following command into this window:

Get-AppxPackage * OneNote * | Remove-AppxPackage

Then I pressed enter and then something was written there, I didn't even have time to read what exactly, as a result, nothing seems to be written in the window, well, there is a success or an error:

But I know one thing, that if nothing is written, then there are no errors, this is the main thing.Then I looked in the Start menu, but there was no longer OneNote tile, that is, apparently the program was removed successfully

That's all the guys on this, I hope that everything was clear to you here, but if something is wrong, then you’re sorry. Good luck in life and that everything is fine with you

The interface of Microsoft OneNote 2013 has changed from previous versions, and to help you get up to speed with it faster, we present you with this guide.

Switch between touch and mouse: If you are using OneNote on a touch device, you can add this switch to the Quick Access Toolbar.
Show or hide the ribbon: To access commands on a tab, select it. To keep the ribbon open, click the small pin icon in the lower right corner.
View and switch online accounts: To switch to another account or change the settings of the current one, click its ID.
Look for notes: To find something in your notebooks, use the search field or press the keys CTRL + E.
Create pages: To insert a new page, select the command Add a page.
Use full page view: To enable full page view, click the double arrow.
Enter handwriting and draw: Take handwritten notes on a touch-enabled computer.
Tag important information: Prioritize and organize your notes with searchable tags.
Browse note containers: Hover over the note container to see the container. To move the container, drag the top bar.
Browse your notebooks: To see all open notebooks, click the notebook icon.
Manage your files: Open, create, print and share notes. You can also change your account settings here.

The first time you launch OneNote, you are prompted to connect to the cloud, where OneNote will create your first notebook. You can use OneNote with an existing Microsoft account (such as MSN, Hotmail, or Messenger). If you don't already have an account, you can create one for free.

Because notebooks are stored in the cloud, they can be accessed from virtually any device, such as other computers, phones, tablets, and even a browser.

What happened to the Sharing tab?

If you're upgrading to OneNote 2013 from an earlier version, you probably have at least one notebook on your computer. Existing notes can be easily transferred to the Internet so that they can be accessed from anywhere. To start the transfer, select items File → General access.

The most suitable storage for personal notes is the SkyDrive service. If you work in an organization that uses SharePoint for web collaboration, you can click the Add Location button on this screen to set up your existing SharePoint account. OneNote notebooks stored on the web are accessible only to their owner, unless they have allowed others to view the folders in which they are located.

Actions you may need

The table below shows you where to find some of the most commonly used tools and commands in OneNote 2013.

Actions	Tab	Groups
Opening, creating, converting, exporting, sending, printing and sharing notes	File	Representation Backstage(select a command in the left pane)
Apply formatting to text, apply note tags, and email a notebook page	home	Groups Main text, Styles, Tags and Email
Insert tables, pictures, links, files, audio and video clips, and apply page templates	Insert	Groups Tables, Files, Images, Links, Recording and Pages

Spell check, web search, translate text, password protect notes, and create linked notes	Peer review	Groups Spellchecking, Language, Chapter and Notes
Increase available screen space, turn guides and page titles on or off, adjust page margins, change page scale, and create marginal notes	View	Groups Modes, Page settings, Scale and Window

Save time with templates

With OneNote templates, you can ensure that pages in your notebook appear consistently with a colored decorative background. Templates can also help you save time by adding pre-built functionality to your pages, such as to-do lists, calendars, planners, and forms that you can fill out and customize.

To view a set of built-in templates, on the tab Insert press the button Page templates... In the field of tasks Templates expand any category and click the template name to view it. Once you have chosen a template you like, you can start taking notes on its page.

You can customize any of the built-in templates to suit your specific needs, or download other free templates from the OneNote website at Office.com. If you want, you can even create your own templates based on any pages in your notebook.

Where is the Save button?

If you want to send a snapshot of a page of notes (or a section, or an entire notebook) to someone who doesn't have OneNote, you can easily export the static snapshot by selecting File → Export and specifying the desired format.

Copy content using screen clippings

Content can be easily added to OneNote using a screen clipping. This allows you to take a screenshot of any part of the screen and then insert it into your note.

Start by opening the content you want. For example, open a trip itinerary in Internet Explorer or a chart on an Excel sheet.

Switch to OneNote and select in the tab Insert command Screen clipping... When the screen dims and the OneNote window disappears, drag over the area you want. When you release the mouse button, the selected screen area is sent to OneNote, where you can move or resize it.

To launch the updated Send to OneNote tool, press and hold the Windows key on your keyboard and press N... It makes it even easier to import arbitrary data from other programs and files into notes.

You can create screen clippings without switching between applications, import entire web pages or documents into notes, or create short notes that are automatically added to your notebook.

You can use the Send to OneNote tool by using the buttons or additional keyboard shortcuts shown in parentheses next to each command (for example, to get a screen cut, use the S). The Send to OneNote tool is optional, which means you can use it while working on a research project and then turn it off when you no longer need it.

Collaborate with users of previous versions of OneNote

Keep the following points in mind when you share or exchange files with people who use an earlier version of OneNote.

Action in OneNote 2013	What's happening	What should be done
You open a notebook created in OneNote 2007	The notebook opens in OneNote 2013, but [ Compatibility Mode]. This indicates that the notebook is currently saved in an old format that does not support new features such as math equations, linked notes, multi-level nested pages, versioning, and the notebook trash can. To get the most out of OneNote 2013, you need to convert your notebook to the new format.	Before converting your old notebook to the new format, consider whether you will need to collaborate on it with OneNote 2007 users. If so, keep using Compatibility View. If you don't need to collaborate with OneNote 2007 users on your notes, it's best to convert your notebook to the new format. To do this, select items File → Intelligence and then click Options for a notebook to convert. Select item Properties and press the button Convert in 2010-2013.
You open a notebook created in OneNote 2010	The notebook opens in OneNote 2013 without limiting functionality.	You do not need to convert the file to another format. Notebooks created in OneNote 2010 and OneNote 2013 can be used together without any conversion.
You are converting your notebook to OneNote 2007 format	When you convert a notebook to OneNote 2007 format, the new features available in OneNote 2013 (including math equations, linked notes, layered subpages, page management, and the notebook trash bin) are disabled. However, the result is the ability to present the notebook to users who are still using OneNote 2007.	After converting your OneNote 2013 notebook to OneNote 2007 format, check out pages that might have new features, such as math equations, linked notes, and layered subpages. Content created with them may become unavailable for viewing or editing after converting to OneNote 2007 format.

Hey! Today we will tell you about an interesting program for Windows 10 - OneNote. You will find out what it is OneNote program how to use it and whether to delete it.

Microsoft in new versions of Windows has placed great emphasis on having its own pre-installed applications. The presence of such programs is of interest to users. One of these utilities is OneNote.

What is it and how to use it?

Microsoft OneNote is a personal electronic notepad for creating quick text, handwritten, photo and audio notes.

This personal digital notebook allows you to capture assignments, thoughts, ideas and plans in the form of notes and lists. OneNote has a standard set for such notebooks - text editor and display customization. However, the rest of the functions highlight it against the background of other programs.

You can also do Quick Pastes in OneNote from photo, video or audio recordings... You can edit the record at any time handwritten text or a multi-colored pattern, which is very convenient to do on tablets and smartphones.

Thanks to cross-platform and the program is available on Windows, Android, iOS, Windows Phone as well as in online mode... Synchronize your Microsoft account in OneNote on all devices, and you can quickly transfer the information you need and have access to documents from anywhere. All your files and notes are stored in cloud OneDrive and are reliably protected.

Additional program features:

Adding notes via letter to [email protected] allows you to send inserts to a notebook created in OneNote;
Preservation web pages and viewing them offline;
General access- you can add a user and send him a link for general viewing.
Easy viewing of all records.
Integration with other programs from Microsoft (Office Lens, Office 365, Outlook).

The program is included with Windows 10 and does not require downloading. But if suddenly it is not there, you can install the application directly from the built-in Wndows Store.

Removing OneNote from your computer

The program does not load the system at all and weighs very little. But if suddenly you do not want to see OneNote in the list of applications, then you can remove it from Windows systems 10/8 / 8.1 completely.

Do you use OneNote as part of Microsoft's Office suite? The electronic notebook is very convenient for taking notes and storing information, and also offers many other great functions. For example, you can use it to keep to-do lists and organize the most that neither is a time manager. Let's figure out how.

Using keyboard shortcuts

Like any application, OneNote has its own shortcuts, the most common of which are easy to remember. So, by pressing the combination Ctrl + 1, an empty square will appear on the left of the current line or paragraph - a checkbox for filling with a tick. Pressing the same combination again will fill the checkbox with a checkbox (with the third press, the checkbox will simply disappear), or you can check or uncheck the checkbox with a simple mouse click.

Other numbers work similarly in combination with the Ctrl key. So Ctrl + 2 will add an asterisk, which can be used for important notes, including in the list, and Ctrl + 3 will add a question mark.

These elements are called tags. They are also available on the ribbon menu through the Home tab and Tags area. In particular, by clicking on the "Find Tags" button here, you can get a list of all records marked with a particular tag.

In addition, the combination Ctrl + u will create bulleted list, the use of which, along with the checkbox for ticks and marks of importance, may be quite sufficient for forming to-do lists.

Files at hand

It often happens that it is difficult for us to remember where this or that file was saved, especially if it was a long time ago. OneNote suggests not to bother in this regard, but to immediately insert files into notebook entries. This will be especially true if your to-do list later requires using specific files from the device.

Add office documents or PDFs, videos or music to OneNote. You can simply drag the file into OneNote, after which a shortcut to the document will be automatically created and you will no longer have to search for it. It can be opened later with a double click (audio and video can be played directly in OneNote).

Outlook connection

OneNote itself is a very useful solution, but in conjunction with an email client, Outlook can become even more functional. When you create appointments in your Outlook calendar, you can add notes from your notebook to them using the Meeting Notes button. In this case, the notes can be either yours personally or shared by all participants.

In addition, cases and tasks created in Microsoft's email client can also be linked to OneNote. At the same time, it will be possible to mark the task as done directly in the electronic notebook. In OneNote itself, tasks for Outlook are conveniently created through the ribbon menu, the Home tab, the Tags area, and the Outlook Tasks button (this way you can immediately set the due date for the task).

The mail client Microsoft Outlook 2016 allows you to use it as a full-fledged organizer. Here you can keep events in the calendar, a to-do list with reminders and all kinds of notes.

Do not forget about the task

Perhaps the biggest problem with paper to-do lists is that they take up space. Whether it's a notebook, a sticker, or just a piece of paper. And there is always the possibility of losing your records or not taking them with you when you need them.

There is no such problem with a digital pad. OneNote is available on all possible platforms, so if you're not in the habit of leaving at home mobile phone then your notes will always be with you. And even if you do not have the corresponding application installed on your mobile device, you can always access your notebook via the Internet (including this can be convenient if you are not using your computer - just log in to office.com under your account and get access to your office documents).

In addition, the presence OneNote apps on the mobile devices allows you to always quickly make notes, including adding new tasks for yourself, at any time - whether you are traveling in transport or are at a business lunch. An idea came - they wrote it down. The phone is always at hand. As a last resort, you can use the audio recording option, which is also in OneNote, if you are not comfortable typing in text for some reason.

OneNote look

OneNote's standard view in a convenient form gives you access to your notebooks and notes in them, without overloading with unnecessary information. However, when working with to-do lists, displaying all of the sections in full might simply be redundant.

Through the ribbon menu in the "View" tab, you can switch the display to "Page view" so that nothing distracts from the information. In this case, the size of the window with the mouse can be made more compact. Or, in principle, you can select the "Pin to Desktop" option. In this case, your notes will be neatly arranged on the right side of the screen on top of other windows.

This view can be very convenient when you are looking for some information on the Internet, say, getting ready for a vacation, or just constantly working on your computer. The to-do list is always at hand. In addition, this view will be relevant if you use the option to link files of various office applications, for example, OneNote with text editor Word. You can check if this option is currently enabled by the link icon in the upper right corner.

To exit Alternate View, simply click the double-headed arrow icon in the upper-right corner of OneNote.
