At work I use it as a visual file cabinet, for notes, for miscellaneous, and for some mild project management and team management. Emails are in Outlook and files are in the file system, just about everything else is in either Onenote or workflowy. In Onenote I have notebooks for different work areas, with section groups and sections for projects, and everything related to that project except most of the emails, is either in Onenote or linked from it. Meeting notes, schedules (simple ones), various notes, links to key files, and certain key emails (which are embedded, because unfortunately you can’t reliably link to individual emails in Outlook). Project-related notebooks are shared amongst team members.

I like it because it is fast even now that it’s got tons of stuff in it. It’s quick and easy to get stuff in, and it’s pretty easy to find stuff and get stuff back out.
