There are lots of great features in OneNote that make digital planning effective. Many people ask how to set reminders in OneNote.  (If you’re wondering how to connect your calendar to OneNote, read this.)

To create task reminders in OneNote, you must use a desktop setting with Outlook and OneNote. Go to HOME > Outlook Tasks > Custom Task. Save and close, then note the flag that was created. Type the task in your planner next to the flag. If you tap the flag, you can make the flag a checkmark. This helps with tasks and reminders. 

If you want to take it a step further, you can select a date with a reminder before adding the flag to your planner. Check out the video below for a full overview on how this works!
