Why I’m Considering To Move From Apple Notes To OneNote

I’ve used many note-taking apps over the years, and I think the approach Apple has to note-taking is fantastic.

Not only is the app simple to use, but it’s clean, and I like how you can organise notes with folders. The app also offers a range of formatting options that I use all the time when taking notes.

But above all, the app is accessible. Whether I want to write a quick note with my iPad by simply swiping my finger from the bottom right-hand corner or by double tapping my Apple Pencil when my iPad is locked. It’s these small things that can really make a difference in everyday life.

But here’s the thing, in my day job, I am stuck with Microsoft products. Therefore, I’ve been using OneNote as my main note-taking app at work, and now that I found a note-taking framework that works for me, I’ve actually genuinely started to enjoy using OneNote.

The framework I follow is called PARA, and it stands for Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archive. Organising my notes in this way has seriously helped me organise my notes in a way I can easily go back to them in the future.

That’s why, in this article, I want to share my experience with using OneNote, and I wanted to discuss some of the compelling features that make me want to switch outside my day job.
