Let's have a look at what we'll be discussing in this section - how to use OneNote to your advantage, be more organised & save time. I've also included a lecture on Evernote and its particulars.

OneNote is a free software both on Windows and on OSx. You'll learn how to install it in this very short lecture.

In this lecture you'll understand how OneNote is structured - Notebooks, Sections, Pages and SubPages. I've recorded a screenshare of my Notebooks, so you get a hands-on experience of how I use it.

Discover a practical example - how useful OneNote is for me when I build my Udemy outlines for courses. I use it for much more than this, but I think it puts things in perspective and potentially gives you ideas of how you can make use of the software.

Here's one of my favourite apps to use with OneNote and Office in general - OfficeLens. I want you to download this to your smartphone as it can be your Pocket Scanner. It's extremely easy to use and highly integrated with Microsoft Office Apps.

A short lecture on how you can record Audio & Video in OneNote. You'll love this feature particularly for situations where you can't type / typing isn't fast enough / you want audio or video of a situation or a speech.

What you'll love about OneNote if you end up using it is its integration with Office in general. In this lecture, you'll discover how to integrate OneNote with Excel, in case you want to store some of your spreadsheets on there.

I want you to do screen clipping the right way - that doesn't mean using the Snipping Tool, but the in-built Microsoft Office tools (which OneNote also has). I think you'll find this feature extremely useful.w

Note-Taking by yourself is something, but when you have the chance to share these notes with others it gets even better. Discover how to work on a Notebook with other teammates at the same time.

You'll see what Evernote's features are, a few differences vs OneNote - this will hopefully allow you to make a judgement call as to what tool you wish to use.

It's Action Time! Start using OneNote to take notes for this course and any other Udemy-related activity. This is an example task - you can start using OneNote for a bunch of activities, but let's start small and progress along the way.

Let's look at what we're going to cover on Email Productivity in this section - namely several GMail features, but also add-ons that you can use with other Email Clients. That being said, I prefer to use Gmail.

You'll learn how to use one of Gmail's most important features - Labeling and filtering. These can have significant impact on the way you organise your email and how you read your Inbox. Do it right and you'll save a lot of time, particularly if you receive a lot of emails on a daily basis.

Discover how to use Canned Responses - pre-written scripts that you can use to reply to standard emails. Any email you need automating, rather than copy and paste from another location, simply have the Canned Responses stored in Gmail one click away.

(Hopefully) You will absolutely LOVE Boomerang! It has 3 simple features that allow you to schedule emails for later, amongst others. I cover how these features can be useful to you with practical examples. It's a must-have if you use Gmail!

You absolutely need to have these 2 features enabled if you want higher email accuracy. We'll see how to Undo sent emails and how to avoid pressing "Reply" by mistake when you should be hitting "Reply All".

One of the best aspects of Gmail is its keyboard shortcuts. But rather than learning them off a PDF, I want you to use a simple app that will remind you all the time what they are, prompting you to memorise them faster and be more efficient at using Gmail.

If you use other Email providers, then Sanebox is great for you. It's an easy-trainable program that will filter through your email and only keep the most important messages in your Inbox.

Action Time! You'll be called to action and will have to fulfill a few easy tasks before proceeding to the next Section.

You'll learn more about Social Media Productivity and what we're going to be covering in this Section.

If you haven't, after this lecture, you will absolutely use Hootsuite or Buffer to schedule and automate your Social Media Posting strategy. They are 2 absolutely crucial tools that serve as an all-around help for Social Media.

With IFTTT you can automate a lot of tasks based on Recipes. This includes, but is not limited to, Social Media amongst others. It can cut a significant chunk of time off your Social Media activity if done right.

Rapportive is a simple tool that will make it easier for you to connect on Social Media with your email contacts. You'll find it particularly useful for networking purposes and building a presence with the contacts you communicate with on a daily basis.

Words can't describe how useful Canva is! If you want to post on Social Media a lot and want to always create new and simple images (but don't have experience with or can't be bothered with Photoshop), then Canva will be a great solution for you.

What you'll like about AppSumo is how intuitive it is. If you have a website and want to redirect your traffic towards your Social Media accounts, then give this a try!

If you want to nurture your relationships with LinkedIn Connections, then this handy app will allow you to do so in very little time every day. LinkedIn Connected is an absolute must if you have a presence on the platform!

Do you confront yourself with situations when you don't have enough content that you want to post on Social Media? Pocket will come to the rescue. It allows you to save content for later reading/sharing. More details in the lecture.

Let's get serious about Social Media with this Action Time lecture. This doesn't mean I want you to spend more time on Social Media, but rather that I want you to be more productive doing it!

In this lecture you'll find out what we're going to cover in this chapter. It's a short one, don't worry!

RescueTime is an app that is an absolute must if you're worried about your Productivity levels. In this lecture you'll find out how to analyse the time you spend on your computer and see which activities are productive and which detract you from your end goal.

If you have an iPhone, then this is the app for you. Workflow will enable you to automate tasks on your phone, thus saving you precious time.

StayFocusd is particularly useful when used with RescueTime. If you know the activities that keep you from being productive, you can use this to block them. Discover more of its functionalities in the lecture.

Do you? If you're like me, then you enjoy listening to music whilst working. However, that isn't always the most productive way to work. Luckily, I have this little app for you that will play you music scientifically proven to boost your Productivity.

A very simple add-on that will eliminate one of the biggest time-killers of our era: The Facebook News Feed. Discover more in the lecture!

It is time to analyse our daily activities and see how we can improve them moving forward. If we can get 1-2 more hours of productive work in every day, it could do wonders overall!
