Do you want to improve your daily planning? Sticky Notes can help you: we give you some keys to take advantage of its use

Sticky Notes is one of the most interesting applications that we can find in Windows 10 when planning our day and that no task goes through something and is forgotten. A lightweight and lighter alternative to OneNote if you want to take notes quickly and without complications.

"

A light application that we can access from the Start Menu of our PC (the cogwheel at the bottom left) so that the already typical post-it appears in which we can add the content we want .These are some guidelines to get more out of the application."

"

Once we start it for the first time, the application asks us if we want to enable Insights, a function that we will see later. We mark yes and continue logging in with our Microsoft account. It is the necessary step for the notes to be synchronized between all our devices."

"

When opening Sticky Notes we will see a central window by default. Clicking on the + symbol opens the window to add new notes in the form of yellow post-it notes, where you can write whatever you want."

"

The default color is yellow, but we can change it by clicking on the three dots menu (...) so that A series of colors opens from which to choose the desired one. In this way we can differentiate between different types of tasks and use the color of the post-it to differentiate them."

"

We can create more post-it notes by clicking on the + button, while to delete them all you have to do is click on the trash can icon. The use is very intuitive and is very reminiscent of the Notes application found in macOS."

Smart Notes

"

In addition, thanks to the Insights function, Sticky Notes is capable of identifying the content of the note we write. To do this, we need to have the Enable information option activated."

This way, if we add a telephone number, an email address, a web page… the app takes care of identify them, changing their color and creating the appropriate _link_ or the link to make a call via Skype.

The notes are also synchronized with our mobile or tablet, whether we use a device with iOS or Android.

With these steps you can further exploit an application as interesting as it is unknown for many users. Another method for taking quick notes without having to open more powerful applications.
