Many thanks for sharing these great tips for using OneNote. I just discovered and subscribed to your channel and I have got lots of inspiration for how to personalize my notebooks. One question though: Where did you purchase the spiral binder image you use and how do you download and store this and similar images for use in OneNote? Once again many thanks and I am looking forward to learning lot of good tips from your numerous videos over the years. It would be great if you also could share some inspiration of how to create notebook cover pages which look like paper notebooks - both modern and retro 🙂

great pages. I used to teach Franklin. Did you create all the links to various pages?

Have you ever used the Fly Lady decorating in zones method? I even store many of my decorations in tubs labeled living room, kitchen, etc. 🎄Often times in January I will put away anything overtly Christmas and leave the greenery and lights into February. Sometimes I add snowflakes ❄️for January and hearts💗 for February. I just love the lights and warm cozy feeling. Please tell I am not alone. 😊

How can I obtain the template?

Very helpful, thank you for help. I have been using OneNote for a long time.... But not as effectively as I should, your suggestions are a major game changer

Gonna be using this for 2025

Crystal Great planner. I like the FP. How did you copy the list of your tags to enter into the month basic?

I also like the horizontal -- with the tabs on the top. However, I just found out I can move my pages from the right side of the screen to the left side (keeping the tabs on top). Go to File, Options, Display and then check "Move page list to the left." I prefer my pages on the left ... feels more natural (for me). Thanks for your excellent videos.

How did you nest everything into another table? I have tried and I am not very successful at doing that. Would you be able to show us?

Grid lines!!! Genius!! I have been struggling with tables and spacing … thanks! 👏🏻

Great Video as always Crystal! Glad to see your subscribers are GROWING! I have one question. I don't know how you import a calendar from Calerderpedia that comes in as a "Table?" Is there a video you've posted that shows that? When I do it no matter which format I get it as, I can't get it as a table. Thank you in advance!

I love the Bunburry Series by Helena Marchmont. I read pretty much, cozy mystery, historical fiction, fantasy some nonfiction.

🎃 THANKS!

I was not able to do this (maybe outdated Surface Pro that will not update to Windows 11?) .... anyway, I investigated and stumbled upon Microsoft PowerToys where you can open the EYEDROPPER with Windows-Shift-C ... and from there I was able to easily copy the HEX code without writing it down! Yay!

🍪🍪🍪

Crystal this is such a great idea. I love that you could do this for any holiday meal. 🍪🍪🍪🍪

I love holiday baking! Thank you so much for sharing this helpful method of organizing and doing the thinking ahead of time. I have never heard of Brown Eyed Susans before, and I'm curious if you'd be willing to share your recipe. I kept watching for it to screen shot in the video, but I don't think it came up. :) Thanks Crystal, you're awesome! I really enjoy your content and down-to-earth approach.

I used your OneNote lessons and recorded my Thanksgiving menu last year which I’m referring to this year again. But I’m going to take it to next level this year and record the needed ingredients in this fashion. Thanks for the idea! Here’s to an even easier next year!!

🍪🍪🍪🍪

I am going to start one for Thanksgiving I always forgot something 🍪🍪🥠🥠

Bat. I cant believe you made me nostalgic for GTD. Used to love my Franklin Covey and i rely on OneNote daily for work. Looks like a natural fit!

🍪

🦇I’m not as advanced as user as you but want to learn. Can you suggest some examples so I can learn

I too used the F Planner for years as a businessman. Now retired I am trying digitally to use the system of F Planning by using Trello, OneNote, Google Calendar, and presently a new todo app incorporating GTD ....its fun but not that much fun. I miss the old Franklin system, I really like what you did. Now what do I do? I may have to rethink my system? Yours looks so good.

Do you love cookies? 🍪🍪 What are your familie's favorites? I think this baking plan and grocery list will save me a lot of time and trouble this holiday season and for years to come. Let me know what you think.

Really cool but I was hoping this would show you how you "made" the notebook - as in how you designed and created it.

🦇Fab video. Thank you

Wonderful idea! I might steal some of these ideas myself

Your concept of a checklist is great. I would suggest a 5-minute list, a 4-hr list and a 24 hour list - meaning you have prioritized the most important items to grab if you only have 5 minutes to evacuate (train wreck, etc.) vs in 4 hours you have more time to brag and pack, etc. Any software that allows for sorting will work. I prefer EXCEL because it allows me to re-sort a list based on how I'm using it that day. The list works great for inventorying and determining re-supply needs or for giving each person their tasks to perform. I'd also add that practice is important. You don't need people bumping into each other or people rushing down steps while carrying heavy loads in the dark. You might find that repositioning the evacuation vehicle from the back door to the front may save time and energy when stressed. What ever list you make - rehearse it, in the dark - can you find needed items in the dark. The bad thing may happen at 7AM or 7PM - both are dark in many places during winter months. Thank you for starting this discussion for having a plan. It's an important topic. Most people focus on "things" rather than having "a plan."

I just stumbled across your videos again and THANK YOU - the step by step instructions are easy to follow.

🌪 you’ve given me a lot to think about today!

I found one of your earlier videos and am watching it now on how to create a planner in One Note

I like how you explained how you used the planner but I didn’t see how you created it which is what I really wanted to find out

Omg! I just found your channel. I love Franklin and I love Onenote. Thank you for sharing this video, I have been looking for something like this for a long time for Onenote. If you ever decide to start selling your templates, I would love to purchase!

What did I leave off this list that you think might be important to remember? Leave me a weather related emoji in the comments.🌡️☁️⛈️🌧️🌪️

🌪 We have a lot of tornadoes here in Arkansas. Since moving and remodeling, I have yet to setup new systems for this locale.

Always enjoy learning something new on how to design and use One Note from your video series. Where did you obtain the black and white background you used in your 2021 planners? Designing notebooks in Power Point can become addictive! Thanks as always.

This is very interesting. I've been seriously contemplating purchasing a physical Franklin Planner because the digital tools have fallen short of my expectations. I used both the Franklin Planner and Day Timers in the 80's and 90's.

That is amazing! I have tried to recreate a planner in One Note before, but have failed. I have an analog Franklin planner right now. How did you make the weeks compass replicate on the daily pages? Is there a setting to do that? Thank you for sharing!

Bat

🦇 Great stuff! I'm going to give it a try!

Thanks Crystal

🦇 just entered the new role at my job and this planner page will be invaluable. Now off to see if I have the skills to create it.! lol thanks for sharing about the binge to watch your channel.

🦇

Bat!

Crystal, I love that you share exactly how you use your planner and your planning process. Great for those of us that are Planner challenged! Thanks so much for your wonderful videos. They are a great jumping off point.

Was raised on Franklin Covey Planner. Although GTD is amazing especially works well for my Project Manager work, this is what continues to be my "bent" so I will combine. Thank you for your videos, thank you for being such an impspiration.🦇

I used Steven Coveys planner years ago. I don't have a bat emoji & I don't know how to get other emojis on this new tablet.❤

Are the numbers down the right side the days of the month?
