How do I use OneNote for UPSC preparation?

I think I can answer this.

I’ve been using one note for over a year and it has indeed made note taking very easy. There are many benefits of using OneNote over the traditional method.

  1. OneNote is completely free.
  2. Available on Android. IOS and Windows.
  3. It synchronizes across all your devices.
  4. Unlimited Notebooks, Sections and Pages.
  5. All is stored online. No need to worry about losing them.
  6. No need to carry those heavy books and notes.

Everything is Sorted!

I’ll tell you how I make notes on OneNote. Earlier I used Windows PC for making notes and here are few snippets.

(A) I copy current affairs from INSIGHTS and paste it in OneNote and then later I annotate it according to my need.

(B) These are my Notebooks. (The Notebooks that I don’t use anymore are closed but they are still saved on my OneDrive)

(C) These are my NCERT notes of Geography. You can take screen clipings from anywhere and it gets saved on OneNote on the desired page. You can copy a definition or Google Images directly on it.

(D) Notes can be properly arranged into Notebooks, Sections and Pages. (You can make any number of these things)

(E) You can even read and highlight PDFs on it.

(F) Also you can use a Digital Planner on OneNote for writing your daily tasks and keep a check. This is a custom made. (I downloaded from a free source and then changed it a little bit)

I have started using iPad 2018 and here are few screenshots of OneNote on iPad.

This is it!
This is how I use OneNote.

If you have any doubts/questions you can ask me.

All the Best!
