I've never figured out how to use the journal. I use notes all the time. Here are some of my comments about notes:
With Control+Shift+n, it is really easy to open a new note and jot down notes about anything you want. During a phone call I create a note and jot down notes from the conversation create a note to keep a To-Do list throughout the day by adding items as I think of them, and deleting them as they are completed., If someone is giving me their contact information, I put it in a note, and then copy and paste the various pieces of information into a contact when I have more time. Just press Escape when you are done with the note. It is automatically saved in the Notes folder. I have my notes arranged in a list with the newest note at the top of the list. When you do not need a note any more, navigate to the note in the list, and press the delete key just as you do to delete an e-mail message. The notes look like a small square sticky note. Those with sight change the colors of the notes to represent a category of note. I do believe that you can assign an Outlook category to a note just as you can do with a message. You can create subfolders under the Notes folder and moves notes into the folders, or create a new note while you are in that folder. Can you tell that I love the notes feature and I use them all of the time?

Navigate to the different fields with Tab and Shift+Tab Alt+s to save the newly created contact. If you are in your contacts, Control+n will open a new contact. Be aware, that when you are in your Inbox or any other mail folder, Control+n will create a new message, and if you are in notes, it will create a new note. Control+Shift+m will create a new message from anywhere in Outlook, and Control+Shift+n will create a new note.
