GTD Tip: one-key opening of INBOX notebook in OneNote

One of the most useful applications I have discovered since I had to switch to Windows as my main OS is OneNote, a really great note-taking application which I use for pretty much every data-storing and note-taking need. I use a OneNote notebook as part of my GTD inbox. Today's very simple tip is how to assign a keystroke for opening my Inbox notebook from anywhere in the system. Here are the steps:
  1. Download and install AutoHotKey, if you don't have it already (it's a really useful free application, well worth exploring).
  2. Add the following line to your default AutoHotKey.ahk file (normally in ~/Documents/AutoHotKey.ahk):

  3. Re-run AutoHotKey so it re-reads the config file.
Make sure you change the path of the file you want to open, and also the key to which you bind it, if don't like Win-i.

Of course, this is useful for one-key opening of any file you want.

Setting up my GTD system in Windows - links

Since I started at my new job and moved to a new machine and OS, my old GTD setup has fallen by the wayside and I have found myself at a loss trying to keep track of things. I have found OneNote to be a very useful tool for keeping notes and reference material, and Outlook 2010 is actually not that bad as a task/calendar/email management tool.

 

So, as a first step, here are some links I have found and which I am in the process of reading and digesting for creating my own setup:

 

(this is a live list, which I will update as I find more interesting sites)
