Visual clutter has a negative effect on my brain. I compare it to having 16 tabs open in an internet browser. It’s hard to focus.

It is a free app that is compatible with Windows, iOS, Android, iPhone and MacOS.

When you start to use Microsoft OneNote to store all of your notes, the number of pages in a Notebook can become overwhelming.

Visual clutter has a negative effect on my brain. I compare it to having 16 tabs open in an internet browser. It’s hard to focus.

After a while you start looking for ways to group pages together. If you go the route of dividing them into separate Sections you end up with a whole new visual clutter issue – and you end up clicking between locations a lot more to navigate to what you’re looking for.

Microsoft onenote section bold and the beautiful

Our team at itgroove have come up with two ways to group notes in OneNote 2016. One is fairly obvious, and the other is a little more creative.

Option 1: Sub-pages

(If you’re not familiar with how to use sub-pages in OneNote 2016, check out this Microsoft Support article.)

Here’s what sub-pages look like when the sub-pages are collapsed:

Here’s what sub-pages look like when the sub-pages are expanded:

Sub-pages work pretty well when you’re dealing with a short list of pages. They can be less useful when you’re looking at a section with several dozen pages. See how they lack a clear dividing line between each group of sub-pages:

Option 2: Hyphens or Underscores

A more creative ‘workaround’ is to add a page to a section and use hyphens or underscores in the Page Title. I always used hyphens until I noticed another team member used underscores which is now my go-to as I find it even easier on the eyes. Here’s what it looks like:
