Start the New Year off right with OneNote or GoBinder

I used OneNote all last semester (check out my brief article on it)and I recommend it for anyone that uses a laptop or Tablet PC to take notes in class. It is far superior to anyone that has tried to use Word (which I still see people do) and lets you stay much more organized in my opinion. Plus Microsoft has a 180 day trial for OneNote. This trial started a ways back but I think it still good so what better time to with OneNote. It's a new year and with a free trial of OneNote in hand your pledge to become more organized can now come true. There are also just so many features that make OneNote great for students that I could go on and on. And the new versions of OneNote (OneNote 12) which is being currently worked on gives even more office to learning how to incorporate OneNote into your daily student life.

If you hate Microsoft though and are looking for another alternative GoBinder is another choice and is also offering a sweet deal to start of the New Year right. I even took advantage of the deal despite being a OneNote fan because I still like GoBinder for keeping track of my schedule and appointments since it is much more orientated around a students life than Outlook and it really helps me keep tasks straight. For Students GoBinder retails for $49 but if you buy it before January 31st like I did you get it 30% off which I think came out to be about $34 you can't go wrong. I also believe if you buy GoBinder 2005 you are going to be allowed to upgrade to GoBinder 2006 for free which is currently in Beta testing. I am currently beta testing GoBinder 2006 and must say it shows a lot of promise. I was hoping to be able to use it instead of OneNote this semester but its still just too buggy and unreliable for me and although neither OneNote or GoBinder does everything I want OneNote does more of what I need at the moment. Regardless Tracy at The Student Tablet PC is a big fan of GoBinder so it is a very neat program and worth a look.

Whatever program you choose start the year off right and get organized using either of these incredible useful programs. In the end they should save you time and keep you organized and allow you to get a good start this winter semester!
