This is pretty complete but I’ll add a few more: -rich formatting. It’s easier to scroll through your notes if the headings and sub-headings stand out. Also, automatic bullet lists with multiple indentation (I do a lot of these) - ability to add pictures / screenshots. Comes in handy if you’re taking notes in class and you have the slides or pdf at hand. You can add a tricky diagram right into the notes, and draw over it if necessary. - small timesavers, like the ability to mark a line as a to-do item (Ctrl+1 for One Note on Windows); you can then filter according to the to-do tag. This effectively gives you a centralized to-do list which you add to from whatever you’re currently working on without switching context. Or if you write an operation (e.g. “1+5-2”) and add “=“ One Note will compute that for you. Saves you the hassle of switching to another app. Or hitting tab to create a (rudimentary) table. I also use mind mapping tools when trying to organize a large topic and I’m more interested in the overall picture than the details. I find that a mind-map/tree-like outline + notes or specific documents for the leaves or subtrees works well for me. |
