How to use Microsoft OneNote to organize your receipts

The next Brain Candy productivity tip video has made its way onto the Microsoft Lumia channel, and this one is timely. With tax season upon us, I'm sure many of you (like me) are thinking about how you can easily keep more organized throughout the year so when it comes time to pay Uncle Sam you're not sifting through a shoe box full of crumpled receipts. The tip shown here is for Microsoft OneNote to be a potential solution. Within the native OneNote app, you can simply create a new note, take a photo of the receipt and even add additional information, such as an audionote for added context. It's a straight forward tip, that likely a lot of smartphone consumers out there are not necessarily aware of. Be sure to watch the video and share it, and we'll bring you the next Brain Candy video when it hits.
