GTD with OneNote: Set Up
Monday, April 2, 2007
To implement GTD with OneNote I first set up a new notebook as below:
Create a new OneNote notebook.
Set up a section in this notebook called TODAY and make a desktop shortcut to this section - see David Rasmussen's Blog on how to do this.
Now use Tools->Options->send to Onenote to set the default section for sending webnotes and printouts to to the TODAY section you have just set up.
Now use Tools->Options->save to set the default section for unfiled notes to the TODAY section.
Set up a Section in OneNote for the current month.
Set up a Section in OneNote as a monthly archive.
Set up a Section in OneNote for Active Projects..
Set up a Section in OneNote for Archived Projects.
Set up a Section in OneNote for support files.
Set up Tags with Status and Contexts - here are the ones I use..
Finally use View-> Tags Toolbar to make these contexts visible in a toolbar
So the notebook is set up - next post will be on stage 1 of the GTD process - collect

I'm sorry the image link is not working for some people, i can see them so had no idea...
The tags i use at present are
PROCESS CTRL+1
@HOME CTRL+2
@WORK CTRL+3
@OUT CTRL+4
@Discuss with CTRL+5
PROJECT CTRL+6
I previously had far too many contexts but find the few I use above perfectly adequate. I think contexts could be a whole blog post on its own.
I have just moved to a new position and I am just starting out with both GTD and OneNote - I look forward to reading the rest of these posts!
looks like the images aren't working. I'm curious about what context and status tags you used.
