Better Zettelkasten in Notion

A great note-taking system to get smarter

This template combines an inspiration journal (or resonance calendar, commonplace book) and a zettelkasten note-taking approach. This version includes 6 dashboards that can help you make the most of your notes and the process of taking them.

What's included

1. Tags: This dashboard provides valuable insights about your tags, including the most recent and popular ones. It can give you a hint about what you are most interested in.
2. Clusters: Some note cards may attract more notes than others. You can use this dashboard to identify those cards and start working on writing an article since an article is nothing more than a collection of notes.
3. Recall: This dashboard is designed to help you practice active recall, spaced repetition, and effective learning strategies. You can use it to go through your notes frequently.
4. Process: The first step of the note-taking process is capturing things that resonate with you in your Inspiration Journal. The next step is to annotate them and make the data complete. Finally, you should review them before taking notes.
5. Record: This dashboard helps you transform items in your inspiration journal into notes in your mind palace. You can do a few notes daily and build up an extensive collection over time.
6. Refine: Sometimes, a note may not have a linking card when you record it. This dashboard encourages you to revisit your notes over time and link as many notes as possible with each.
