There are 3 checklist categories below that: To-Do for the job, To-Do for other professional responsibilities, and To-Do for personal.Įvery single day of the school year, I create a new blank Page and I add the day/date. Below that is a section to record Daily Meetings. Below it has a category in which to record Deadline items. This template has a spot at the top for the date. When I right-click and save that pumpkin Page as a template, it will be saved as the October section template.) From then on, any time you are in that OneNote Section and you click +Add Page, your new template will appear! ( By the way, when I get to October, I’ll click into that Section, create a new Page, and then create a brand new page with pumpkins or something as the graphic at the top. A pop-up menu of choices will appear – just select “Set As Default Template”. If you love this and want to create a template, just design your perfect Page and right-click on the name of the Page in the vertical Page list. I change the graphic at the top each month, but the categories remain the same. Over the years I’ve found that these categories work best for me, so I created a template. Below that are categories for Deadline Items, Meetings/Calls Today, To Do: Work, To Do: Other Professional, and To Do: Personal. The one pictured below is for September and it has a pencil graphic at the top. After a few years of using this OneNote system, I decided that I wanted to create a Page template. You won’t BELIEVE how much this is not only calming, but it really sets me up for success! These days, everyone is talking so much about self-care, and this is my own little version of professional self-care…this whole system gives me a feeling of zen when the days get crazy.īefore I go any further, I wanted to share my most recent iteration of Page design with you. ⏰ I take just a few minutes to set up my day to be productive, purposeful, organized, and prioritized in OneNote. When I wake up – or get to work – each morning, the very first thing I do – before I look at email, answer a call, or check paperwork, I give myself the gift of time. I’m using the same strategy, but it’s evolved a bit. This is an example page from a few years ago – 2018. Even in the olden days when I still wrote things on paper, I always created checkmark boxes for myself. (I kind of love the fact that Windows key + period key opens the emoji keyboard, so I keep using that like crazy!)įirst of all, you should know that I use that checkmark box option – ooooohh, I love it! I’m a checkmark box kinda girl and I always have been….always will be. I put the new day and date as the title, and sometimes I even add an emoji that means something to me at that moment. Every single morning of the school year ( and sometimes even on weekends), I start my day by opening OneNote and clicking +Add Page. And yes, you can use emojis in your OneNote notebook names!) I have a few master categories at the top as you’ll see in some pictures below, but for the most part I just list months as the Sections and days as the Pages. ( Actually, this year, it’s □To Do Notebook 21-22. I create a OneNote notebook called “Daily To Do Lists” or some such thing – and I use it for a whole school year. Here’s what I’ve found that works for me – it’s Microsoft’s OneNote! I’m so in love with my system that I just needed to share! Do you know what I mean? How do you organize your to-do list and all the related tasks associated with it? How do you schedule yourself and make sure that all the things you need to do actually get remembered…and done? I looooveee being organized and continue to try to out-do myself in ways that make me most efficient, structured, mindful, and functional.
