Just create a new notepad, add a new note page and start typing. Whatever notes come to mind.

The power of OneNote is how it lets you organize your notes. But you actually have to have some notes to organize first.

Unlike Word, in OneNote you can double-click anywhere on a note page to start a new note block, and every line of text inside each block is an independent unit. Make a heading line, a bunch of bullet-list lines, a few To-Do lines, maybe attach a drawing or audio recording to one or two lines, etc. Afterwards, you can drag individual lines from one note-block to another, drag note-blocks from one page to another, organize pages into tabbed sections of your notebook, whatever you want.

All your changes are continuously and automatically saved and synced to Skydrive. If you are on a shared notebook, participants can work on different parts of the same notebook simultaneously, with the changes showing up for everyone else in near-real-time over Skydrive.

All you have to do is play with it for about 10 minutes, and you’ll see how seriously awesome it is.
