I couldn't find a way to get OneNote to work well for to do lists, but it's great for notes and storing information. Can you try Microsoft To Do? It worked well for me for awhile. My current…

Actuary here, spaced repetition tools are a critical part of how I get through my exam seasons. The key thing to remember here is that you completely made up the 2-4 hour requirement. You can do…
