I am taking few courses at the same time. The courses have videos and books that i need to cover. Right now, i am putting the course list in Excel with all videos and books (Chapterwise) and pasting notes in excel columns. It's becoming messy as i am doing more courses. Just wanted to know better ways how you guys manage course notes and course progress. I just mark the done chapters with a green label for ex.

Hi Charu! We expect questions to have a correct answer, but once it becomes subjective there's no one correct answer — everyone does things differently. Please check out our FAQ on questions that poll for "how others do it". – slhck♦ Oct 21 '12 at 19:44
@slhck , i got the point. I just wanted to know about some tool for making my note taking and course progress manageable. Maybe i don't know how to ask this question. – Charu Oct 21 '12 at 19:49
Maybe you can look for note taking tools like OneNote or Evernote (as @john suggested), or check out LifeHacker's writeup on Cornell notes, and finally: Comparison of notetaking software – slhck♦ Oct 21 '12 at 19:58

Interesting choice of tool for keeping track of your notes, though I can see why you are getting stuck. There are a number of other useful note-taking tools that you can use to classify and tag items. An example would be something like Evernote. I love it, especially the web clipper for web-based research.

Obviously that's just a personal choice and not an excel-based solution, nor does it specifically allow you to mark completed sections (although there is a checkbox widget for lists), but it's an example of one of the many organisers available.
