Client Feedback – Productivity with Microsoft OneNote

Thank you, Geoff, your Productivity with OneNote training, and follow-up support has been very professional and helpful. We all go to so many courses where there is no follow up and people just forget what they have learned. Follow up is great and provides inspiration too. Cheers to you.

Hi Geoff, OMG!! OneNote is an absolute game changer for me. I am using quite a lot of the features which is amazing. When out on site, not only can I do everything on my phone, it also doesn’t drain the battery! Being able to add photos and use dictate saves me at least 5 minutes per site. Then when I am transferring the info into the cases, I don’t have to remember what the location looked like as the picture is under the notes. My other favourite feature is that I can put it into a run order and maximise my time on the road. If things change whilst I am out, I can alter the run order to accommodate. To say I love the MS OneNote program doesn’t even come close. Thanks so much for everything you taught us. 😊 Pia – Local Government Melbourne, August 2022

Hi Geoff, thanks for the follow up emails and for the excellent course. It has definitely changed the way I use OneNote and helped me get things a lot more organised. It is still early days but so far, I have moved things into three separate notebooks, and have an additional shared notebook for my immediate team. In my main notebook I am using section groups, as well as subpages to keep things organised. I find that some people still hand me business cards so I have used the scanning function to add these to a single page I can go to when scratching my head over who I need to contact for something.

 I have to say though, that my favourite features must be tags and templates. I like to plan out each day, usually with a sheet of paper, and scribble notes as I go. Using a custom template, inside a section group has allowed me to move nearly all this note taking and planning to OneNote. I’m also tagging things as questions so they will show up in my generated report to think about later. Thanks again!  Chester, Local Government, Melbourne, August 2022

Hi Geoff, thanks for your email. I have been using OneNote quite a bit actually. I have pretty much put away the notepad and pen and am just using OneNote. I have different section for each of my regular meetings and then have a page for each actual meeting so that I can dump things into the page as the week goes on to discuss at the meeting. I have found it to be very beneficial! Thank you very much for the training. Ben – Accor Hotels, Qld. January 2022

Hi Geoff, I have hit the ground running with One Note. I’ve shared a Notebook for the first time and have spent some time organising my Sections into a more usable structure. The course has been extremely beneficial and is already paying dividends! Thanks – Chris – Quality Management Coordinator, Local Government Melbourne

Tags & Office Lens!! If you are not on OneNote yet or only taught yourself then you really need to look closer, it is amazing!! I love my to do lists and this has just become so easy. And this will enable me to go even closer to paperless.  Last weeks OneNote course was a “game changer”. This weeks was “mind blown”!!  Whoever designed OneNote …..
