Using Google Notebook to Get Yourself More Organized
I just belatedly started using Google Notebook after reading this post on Darren Rowse's blog about using a binder to organize oneself as a blogger and someone commented that he's using this Google tool. For a right-brained (read: scatterbrain) writer and web developer like me who relies a lot on surfing the Internet for my research, this online tool by Google is great to complement my free desktop organizer EssentialPIM (EPIM). I can use Google Notebook to categorize my tasks which I can't do with the free version of EPIM.
Categorization in Google Notebook has the following hierarchy: Notebook>Section and you can create as many notebooks and sections as you wish.
You can clip images, bookmark web pages and/or make notes to yourself (together or separately), and can even make comments below these images, bookmarks and/or notes. The great thing is that you can freely move these sections, web pages and notes around (among notebooks and sections) ! Definitely great for brainstorming and/or organizing ideas for your tasks and/or projects.
My dream feature is for each section or note to be transformable into a task or to do item, which one can cross out once the task is done. Paging Google Labs! :)
