The fantastic thing is OneNote is attached to my safari browser, and I can immediately save articles with the link and information right into OneNote. But the best part is due to the set up that I have, I can look back and see progress. Do I keep a paper planner? Yes, I do - I LOVE my paper planner. But that is my journal and my physical, creative outlet. I doodle, letter, write my thoughts, and create my inspiration in my paper planner -along with weekly and long term goal setting and planning. But this beast, I mean OneNote, is really about keeping it all straight and knowing what needs to be done next. But what has already been done.
The most significant section of this notebook is the "Task-SMART Goals" section. I have been able to year over a year see what I have accomplished goal wise and task wise. The best part about this method for me, it is an intentional glimpse into the way my mind processes information and gets things done. The task pages are broken down by week, and I write down every Monday morning everything I hope to get done. (Yes, I will spend about 30 minutes every day figuring out everything that needs to be done) I start every day with this section of my notebook. It allows me to see what I plan or need to achieve on that day and what is coming.

This process may seem like a lot, but as I have grown and tried to focus more on how I spend my time, this is the visualization of my time. This allows me to take time to know and understand what is coming, but what I have done. This will enable me to maintain the mindset of progress over perfect because every week, there are tasks that get "cut and pasted" because sometimes I have to choose what I will and will not do. Or better phrased, what I pick and choose not to do because I want to spend my time elsewhere.
