Still, many of us prefer pen and paper.
What the pen and paper approach lacks is convenient tagging, reminders, and search capabilities of digital tools.
OneNote is ideal for this note-taking method because it’s the closest tolooking and acting like a physical notebook.

Here are a few suggestions for making the most of this tool.
If you add general entries, don’t use the date as a title because OneNote does that automatically.
However, if it’s a specific topic, use the title space on the OneNote page.
Labeling the page will help when you search for these entries.
it’s possible for you to organize your pages by dragging pages in any order you like.
Another useful feature is using OneNote’s internal hyperlinks.
Right-click any entry and copy the link to it.
Then, right-click and link (or pressCtrl+K) anywhere else and paste it.
Combine it with the OneNote Tag Summary.
To use the Tag Summary, go to theHometab and, in theTagsgroup, selectFind Tags.
If any task is not relevant anymore, tag it so.
To keep a sense of hierarchy, consider grouping sections into another OneNote notebook.
Since OneNote searches through every open book, you won’t lose track of entries in different notebooks.
Keep the main one (usually the default Personal Notebook) as your regular entry journal.
