About the yellow notes

Small yellow notes (or Post-its) are used in various articles as examples to show you how simple a small summary/reminder can be.

All you need is a title, a short description
(and maybe a link or two)
- and you're done !

You don't have to worry about forgetting it anymore - it's written down, and as long as you don't misplace the note, you can always find it again.

Well, at least if you stick the notes on your monitor - anywhere else, and they may be at risk the next time you're cleaning your desk.

The purpose of PpcSoft iKnow is to replace these small notes with something that is never lost, much easier to find and easier to use !

Using iKnow instead of notes

Creating a new note is almost as easy as using a sticky note.

- instead of searching for your post-its you hit F12 to activate PpcSoft iKnow
- you press Ctrl+N to create a new note
- you enter a title/name for your note
- you enter your tekst manually (or copy/paste using iKnow)

Yes, this is slightly more difficult than using sticky notes, unless
- you're out of notes and must find new ones
- you can't find your pen/pencil
- you have to write down a detailed explanation you've found in a document
(where copy/paste will save you)

in which case using PpcSoft iKnow is actually easier.

Either way, the real advantage is not creating the notes, but actually finding them again and using them later !

Small and big notes

The small notes are simple examples - if you want more detailed examples with more tips you should look at the notes in the list to the left.

For example, the note 2Do is a detailed example of a to-do list using PpcSoft iKnow, and if you scroll down you'll find a detailed explanation of how you can use it for GTD (Getting Things Done) or a journal.
