I basically do the same thing. Except I have separate Notebooks for Work, Personal and Business. One great thing about OneNote is that you can have Section Groups, which are setup using PARA system. Each project gets its own Section. You can even nest section groups! So my Archive folder is further split into Years. God I love OneNote. You can also have nested

[@eunjint]

Awesome! I frickin love onenote too!!! Do you use your section groups for work, personal etc?

[@melissamaxwell2261]

I'd LOVE to hear/see more about how you do this. I like "containers" for organizing my physical space and also use separate notebooks for things so this sounds cool!

[@kevinbrunt1647]

Great video thank you. As an adult with both ADHD and dyslexia I’ve really struggled with note taking all my life. You’ve given me some great ways to improve.

[@eunjint]

Im so happy to hear that!

[@Nathan-vn5tg]

Thank you so much for these videos on OneNote.

[@eunjint]

Thank you nathan! I'm a big fan of onenote haha

[@drpayalmuthuswamy]

I've been waiting for your video since soooooooo long~ and ofc you only made it worth! I was using OneNote during online school in my highschool years but got back into traditional notemaking again for my Med Entrance (NEET) .. I think I'm gonna get back into OneNote again when I crack my exam and get into medschool.... I mean for my Entrance I need to retain everything i studied and apply the knowledge as well so like I need written practice for it so I'll do this when I begin with my real medical journey hehe! You're just Awesome Eunice! Thank you sooooooo much!!!

[@eunjint]

Woohoo!!! Love it, I can’t wait till you get back into it, share with me your medical journey too 😊

[@AaronFultz]

The first "A" in PARA stands for "Areas" not "Action". Hope that helps. Good video. Very helpful to see your setup.

[@eunjint]

Hahaha yes I realised that when I was editing

[@shreekant-ol7xz]

Thanks for this video 📸

[@eunjint]

Thank you for your kind comment!

[@3310reza]

Wow this is basically a good video with a very good message: being fluid.

[@eunjint]

Great summary!!

[@cossack4930]

You could stay all in one MSFT ecosystem. In your order: Planner, Onenote, Excel, Outlook

[@eunjint]

Oooo I see! I haven’t looked at Microsoft planner before I should check that out.

[@marie.s9995]

Great content! Thanks!

[@eunjint]

Thank you Marie! Appreciate it xx

[@Mainman05]

Make a video about your video creation process, the app you use, use cases of the app and thought process in making quality content by your standards. Good video✨

[@eunjint]

Great idea! Quality content by my standards hmmm... interesting :)

[@punterjac8695]

Eunice, good video. Just a suggestion if you can talk a bit more slowly as in this video (and some of the more recent ones) you seem to be rushing. Maybe, it might be the software you are using to edit these videos that makes you sound rushed. In your other videos, A Day In The Life Of A Doctor: Night Shift & Surviving the night shift as a junior doctor: My top tips, you sound very good and so natural. Regards

[@eunjint]

Hey P! Thank you for your comment, I’m really happy you’ve watched my other videos too. I’ll take that to heart, and try slow down haha. I’ve been trying to really make it sound faster than my normal speech so the youngsters don’t get bored. I might be going too fast 🥲 thank you for your comment!

[@maximum-overdrive]

Great video! The capturing-part with the widget was too fast for me. Where can i find details? At ipad there are still no subsections, am i right?

[@eunjint]

Hahha sorry! literally there’s this widget where you can click on camera or photo album to insert a photo clipping that gets saved as quick notes in one note :) In the Samsung tablet it has subsections sorry I don’t know about iPads!

[@LebenWerden]

Can you tell me how to trim a picture? In Power Point, Excel and Word its possible.

[@eunjint]

UGHHH that’s ONE thing that I haven’t figured out with one note it’s so frustrating. I know on Microsoft OneNote that was possible but I haven’t been able to on iOS! Let me know if you figure it out please?

[@annenelsonhall]

Is there a way to copy a page in OneNtote muiple times? I have template pages and I need to make hundreds of copies. I have been right clicking and selecting where I want it and hitting copy. But doing it one at a time. Is there a way to do this 10's or 100's of times easily?

[@eunjint]

Yes, you can create reusable templates here!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWTHeWaOZauqma8si=UEWWq3Ad115oLLXH

[@Lollylunae]

How did you manage to fit a post grad course during travel? Any tips 😅

[@eunjint]

hahaha johnson, that one's a bit tricky! What post grad course are you doing? Im currently studying for a postgrad medicine exam while travelling but its not easy!

[@brunooadas]

I confess that honestly I tried to build up a second brain in onenote for several times but it failed to provide organizational depth to my data, so I just got back to notion

[@brunooadas]

maybe if notion doesnt work for me again I bounce back to onenote, this method seems really cool

[@eunjint]

Cool! I think notion is a little too technical for me and the big plus is the ability to have offline access in onenote that notion from my understanding doesn't? What's in your second brain@@brunooadas ? 😁

[@brunooadas]

actually I have the same issue of offline mode with notion, but I managed to work this out by creating an inbox folder, so actually I can write offline, I just cant access extensive data. However you can use a quick capture app like google keep or apple notes to do that@@eunjint

[@brunooadas]

I manage my entire life, notes, tasks, projects, etc in notion (or at least try@@eunjint 😅

[@joshuaalfred8307]

If you want databases, sure use notion. Otherwise OneNote is simpler, faster and doesn't require so much time customising it. Just setup up your folder structure with the PARA system and that's it.

[@MichaelToub]

Isn’t “A” for areas not for action?

[@hengnicholas5876]

How do I move images together with ink, drawing etc. Sometime I want to insert a image in between 2 image which already have ink on top of it. So problem now is the image do not move with ink.

[@eunjint]

You can use the lasso select tool!

[@shreekant-ol7xz]

Yes we want to learn code places make video about it

[@eunjint]

Okie!!! Thank you 😝😝

[@yannickdevos3027]

indeed, unfortunately I di'nt found it yet 😕

[@eunjint]

@@yannickdevos3027 I’ll put this in my bank of videos to make!

[@yannickdevos3027]

👌@@eunjint

[@mvg2x34]

I was surprised that you adea notebook titled “second brain” and dinn not just put your PARA files at the top of the hierarchy.

[@eunjint]

How do you mean?

[@TheOneMastodon]

Don't mind me, just one of the Obsidian Master Race coming through.

[@eunjint]

Hahahaha Obsidian looks pretty complicated

[@salvadorrea8048]

Good tips but girl you talk too fast and maybe if your mic closer to you so you don't shout. Also, that lil window showing what you did with the screenshot...not helpful.

[@eunjint]

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll work on it ☺️

[@minimal2224]

Just slow down the video lol great editing!

[@antoinettebefree]

@@eunjintwhile it’s good to keep requests in mind from viewers I watched a PARA video yesterday and this woman speaks hella fast and people expect it and consider it part of her brilliance. So if speaking fast is your thing, go for it. If speaking fast is due to nerves then we look forward to seeing you at your pace. ❤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpfPhmZ8pr9pnpYsi=cOkBYbnvQ75jtjji

[@eunjint]

@@antoinettebefree hahaha I’ve watched this video before! She’s brilliant!

[@antoinettebefree]

@@eunjint as are you. 🫶🏾
