Blog: I Love OneNote
posted by: marcuslovesonenote"The other piece of software that helps me go from idea to action is Project KickStart. This is a quick project management organizer that walks you through step by step developing a new project, assigning phases, tasks, responsibilities, and even lets you print and maintain GANTT charts. I also love the fact that it integrates tasks and calendars with Outlook 2007.
This means that I can do the step by step thing, print out a professional looking project plan to share with board and colleagues, and connect it to reminders / actions / events in Outlook. AND I can:
- Print to OneNote a project overview including task lists and actions to take or follow-up on.
- Make notes on the project in OneNote, including using the assignments / task lists in shared notebooks so the whole team can see, work with where we’re at and who is doing what.
"I also like to print the Project Kickstart GANTT charts out in poster size (taping pages together) so I have a quick visual reminder on my office wall.
All of these things help me keep more or less on top of the 1,001 things I’m responsible for / working with. I’m not naturally anal or detail-oriented. What this system does is helps me:
- Get more done
- Not forget things
- Dump details out of my head so that I’m not thinking about them when I’m doing something else
- Do better by taking more timely action
- Actually make space for attention to the more creative aspects of what I want to do"

posted by: Lisa Arrow"I used a great product called Project KickStart. I would get so frustrated with Microsoft Project because it didn't meet my needs. I needed a program that was easy to navigate, provided clear documentation of timelines and tasks and allowed me to customize it to each project. Kickstart was just what I needed and I used it extensively while I was an EA. Although it's not free, it's very reasonably priced. I highly recommend it. You can download a free trial to test it out."
