What is Google Keep?

Google Keep is a way to keep track of all your lists and notes in one place, allowing you to create different labels to categorize your notes!


Personally I use Google Keep as a main base for all my daily routines, main to-dos, and personalized lists that I want to refer back to in one spot


All in all, Google Keep is a great way to stay organized and personalize all your upcoming tasks and notes. So, in this post I will tell you my top tips for keeping my Google keep organized and the different things I use it for!

How To Make Your Google Keep

 

1. Go to Google.com and log-in to your Google account


2. Click on this icon




and scroll down until you find the Google Keep icon









If you're already signed into your google account, this should direct you to your Google Keep page :)

Setting Up Your Google Keep

 

1. Create your main lists

Your main lists are going to be your everyday or most referred to lists. These lists will appear at the top of your main notes page.

Ideas For Main List Titles

Once you've created your main lists, you can start to personalize them.

What I like to do is make matching headers for each of my main lists like this:

I created mine on Canva, but I also have a link down below to all of my headers to download for free! Simply click the link, this will lead you to a google drive folder, then download which headers you want to use!



2. Create Labels

Labels are useful for organizing your lists into specific categories and managing them easier

Ideas For Labels

Here are the labels I personally use:










Once you've created your labels, you can create lists within each label. These lists can be found under the labels tab or a main overview of all notes in the main notes tab.


3. Customize Even More!!


You can customize/organize your lists even more by color coding them and/or adding a background!

I personally color code different lists with different labels but this is completely personal to your preference!


4. Set Reminders


One of the most helpful features of Google Keep is the reminders. If you have any specific deadlines for lists to complete or things to remember, you can set a reminder on a list.


You can do this 2 different ways;

  1. Create a new list under the reminders tab

  2. Click the reminder icon on a list and set a reminder


Once you've hit the bell, you can set a time and place for your reminder




Other Tips

 
  1. You can add checkboxes to your lists to create check lists

2. Download the app, all your lists and labels will automatically transfer to your mobile device!

3. You can collaborate with others on lists

 

I hope this guide helps you use Google Keep to stay organized!!
