Ideas/Notes: Google Keep & OneNote
Tasks: Outlook Tasks
I can not recommend Outlook Tasks enough. I'd used Outlook for years never giving this more than a cursory glance. A few months back our entire office was placed on an outlook training course. I went in thinking this would be a waste of a day, yes a whole day on Outlook! It was worth it and I came out a convert for some functionality i'd not explored properly, tasks being one. You have to spend the time to restructure the layouts (best thing is open task view next to the calendar and default to this view not email) and build categories. Then have the discipline to put things in tasks (Ctrl-shift-k). If in a team you can allocate them task too. The latter is great for me as I tend to pass on jobs, assume they will be done and then forget about them til I need it. This helps track these smaller easily forgotten tasks well. I'd really recommend giving it a go.
With OneNote, this is quite powerful but you have to take the time to structure & set it up. But once done it is super efficient to store loads of notes.
I realised I sound like a bit of a MS fan-boy, but I have tried loads of the usual suggestions and found these 2 products work really well together. But like most MS products it take a little learning/effort to get the benefit.
