Notes allow you to attach arbitrary information to any item in the workspace. Generally, this is used to provide a place to hold all the ideas, references, web sites, etc. that are related to that item. That way you can collect them all, and when you're ready to work on an item, they're all available.
To work with notes, click on the "Show Notes" toolbar button or the "Show Notes" item in the "Items" menu. This opens up a Notes inspector.
When you select an item in the main workspace, you'll see that its information (title, importance and timeframe) gets loaded in the notes drawer. Selecting a different item will adjust the notes inspector to display that item's information.
You can use the notes inspector as another way to change the title, importance or timeframe using the controls at the top of the inspector.
Below those controls is a larger notes "text area" allowing you to enter any information you'd like about the item. It works like any other text area you'd find in a Mac application.
