Couple of little boosters here:
- If you are using OneNote – and you should be – hitting the Windows+S key will activate a screen capture. Highlight the area you would like to capture and it will drop it into your notebook.
- Download Canvas for OneNote from Microsoft Labs. If you have a big monitor this is a great way to access and arrange your notes.
- Download “Do Not Disturb” for Outlook and do away with pesky emails while you try to focus on a task at hand.
I just discovered a wonderful Outlook productivity tool called Xobni. It pulls together information from other sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Skype and puts it into a window inside Outlook. The cool thing is it summarizes your associated activity with each contact giving you metrics behind the data. Very cool.
