NoteTaker is a catch-all for me. I've got some recipes in it; some notes from strategic planning meetings which are "in process;" lists of books I want to read and/or take out from the library; jokes I've heard; etc.
Every now and then, I'll reorganize entries into a topically "dedicated" NoteTaker, Memo, or DataBase file.
I've also found NoteTaker to be a pretty effective "outliner" for books I've read and wish to summarize for future reference. For example (and related to Hal Goldstein's article on Steven Covey in Vol.3, No.3, 1994, page 40), I've outlined Seven Habits for Highly Effective People. For each of the habits (which are the "titles") I've used the Note section to identify key points, examples, etc. All of it goes in the NoteTaker file 7HABITS.NDB and is thus available when I want to sharpen my Covey saw.
Although I get kidded about my "little black box," I continue to find it the single most useful tool in my managerial kitbag.
