One of the simplest and most productive tools is to write down your goals for each day. Most people write their to-do list of goals on a piece of paper, but you can write them in the Notes app so you can constantly review them while you’re using your iPad.

Another handy use for the Notes app is to write drafts of email messages. By using the Notes app, you can store your draft and modify it over time. When you’re done writing, just email this note, and all your text automatically appears in the message text field of your email. As long as you have your iPad with you, you’ll always have a way to jot down notes at any time, anywhere.
