Note Studio

Tips on using Note Studio to brainstorm

1. Focus on writing everything down as quickly as possible, without worrying about making sure everything is correct. Note Studio has the Create New Page function(F12 on PC, /N on palm), that lets you quickly add content to a new page, without worrying about where it belongs.
2. Don't worry about the structure of the Notebook initially. You can easily "refactor" your notebook later by:

• Rename page(Which will rename the page, and all links to the page)
• Breaking up big pages into small ones with cut and paste.
• Inserting links (Ctrl-L on PC, /L on Palm)
• removing links from pages

1. Don't worry about making the text look pretty initially. You can easily add bold, italics and headers later on. Doing them whilst brainstorming will just slow you down.
2. Timestamps can be useful (F5 on PC, /5 on Palm), to keep track of the order in which you came up with thoughts.
3. "Recent Changes"(Ctrl-R on PC, /R on Palm), can be useful when you revist a book, to know what you last were thinking/writing about. This lets you jump straight back in to what you were last doing.
4. If working on the Palm for brainstorming, then a keyboard (such as the Palm wireless keyboard) is essential. This will let you type data into your palm much quicker than you could with Graffiti.
