Course Description
Do you wish you were better organized? That you could easily access that warranty receipt you desperately need when something breaks? Do you wish you could de-clutter your house and get rid of those paper piles - but still keep the information and be able to access it from anywhere? If so, this is the course for you!
In this course, ex-Microsoft employee and Productivity Expert Ulrika Hedlund, walks you through how to effectively use OneNote across devices in your personal life. In a "documentary" fashion, she takes you behind the scenes of her life and shares how she effectively uses OneNote in day-to-day scenarios - as a mother, wife and project manager of their home renovation.
Even though this course focuses on personal life scenarios, a lot of the learning can be applied in a typical work day as well.

Are you bored of lengthy, feature-based product training? Do you believe that learning something new should be exciting and fun? I do! That's why I left my career at Microsoft to create a new type of learning experience where the focus is on the value - not the features. I'm passionate about technology and storytelling, and I thrive to share my experiences of how technology can effectively be used to work smarter - in a more engaging way. I'm the founder of two companies - Business Productivity and Storyals, the mother of three, Swedish and live in Dubai.

Ive discovered a whole new amazing world by doing this course!! Its exactly what I was looking for in order to make my life and my career more organized.

The course was a solid start for a noob. I want to know more about office integration, so this course was a bit too basic for my needs, though served as a great starting point.

This course gave me pretty good insights in order to change habits, go paperless and in additional presented a very reliable online tool to organize and manage dailly documents.

I've seen a lot of quite useful and inspiring personal use cases, but the course doesn't live up to the 'paperless' part in its title. Going paperless means more than just storing everything in OneNote. Also, I'm missing a discussion of safety and backup issues

I enjoyed the fact it was used for everyday personal stuff. That is exactly what I want to use OneNote for. Ulrika was very pleasant to listen to and she explained things simply and clearly. Just what I needed. Thank you.

I love how she uses day to day scenarios and personal videos throughout the course to show how OneNote can be used in daily life. Very informative.
By Elizabeth Boston on 9/8/2017
This class has lots of great ideas on what to use OneNote for, but no detailed directions on how to do it. It is worth taking just for the ideas and inspiration.

The title was a bit of a misnomer - I was hoping to learn how to organize better this was more of using features to get organized. For example, when is it better to create a tab across the top instead of going down the side. When to use groupings. How to organize the various features of one note for business applications. Wouldn't have done this course if I'd known it was for personal applications.

The course gives an excellent overview on the utility of 'OneNote', for the people who wants to improve Productivity & Efficiency using Digital Notes. This course perfectly demonstrates on how to use 'OneNote' in the daily routine, in a practical manner.
By Mike Frey on 1/28/2017
This is a great course and is presented very well. The only thing I would add is a lecture on the strategies of actual organizing of a notebook with tabs, sections, etc. This might be my own issue as I tend to make OneNote to cluttered. Overall this has been a very valuable course to me.
