Note taking with UR

[tourdebill]

What is the easiest way to take short notes (e.g. ideas, reminders, future projects, study notes) with UR? At this point, it seems to me that I have to go to the Data Explorer, click a spot, insert a child, select the template, then write. In comparison, with MS OneNote, there is a sidenote function that pops up from the system tray. Very easy to use.

Any suggestions?
