Does Loop replace OneNote for you? From a GTD perspective do you now use loop to capture, ideate and store info?

BTW, Loop pages are stored in OneDrive, not OneNote as I mention in the video, got a bit carried away 🙂

Good stuff

Thanks Frode 🙂

I love the Microsoft To Do interface and am less keen on the Kanban-style Planner layout, so I hope we don't lose the layout of To Do as part of the convergence.

ToDo will still exist in planner as shown in the video, with tasks, flagged emails and so on. also a planner kan just show a list layout as well👍

This sounds great. But will I find it's not available in personal licenses of Office 365? So much innovation and yet, never for those of us who work outside a corporate environment. Well, one can always hope it will eventually trickle down to the those family licenses, someday.

I am not sure, I think so for the loop, todo and Planner functionality, maybe not for copilot. I will make sure I differentiate on the license sku's 👍

Hi, nice intro to Loop. Thanks for sharing this. Is there any way we could reference emails in Loop? It would be be nice to be able to share links to the emails so you could easily group them and do emails follow ups

good point, I don't think you can do that today, so for now, you have to copy the title for the email and search for it in Outlook when you want to take action, it works quite well

[@valentinchiorean9701]

@ thank you. I would have been super useful. Similar to how you can take the email url in Gmail. It used to work a while back, but the have dropped it, I was hoping they are introducing it back

@@valentinchiorean9701 I don't know, but if you flag an email it goes to todo, with a link back, that is how I work with emails currently. I expect some of this to change next year

Hello, will you soon share you new GTD productivity system based around Microsoft Loop? Looking forward to hear from you on this.

@@Girodias I am waiting for the New Planner to solidify first, hopefully this fall 👍

Since planner will be a loop component. Why don't you just put the planner in OneNote?? Wouldn't it be a more robust system with? Backlinking capabilities.

maybe, but OneNote does not integrate directly with planner, it has to be a loop component. Loop has a richer feature set for collaboration and templating and loop will get copilot. Loop won't support pen writing as of yet though, that is still a role OneNote has.
