Step 1
Capture notes fast
Jot ideas, summaries, and flash‑points without friction. Tag notes, filter them, and keep everything searchable.
  • Use filters to surface exactly what you need.
  • Keep notes short; link out when needed.
  • Tag consistently to stay organized.
Step 2
Organize by courses
Group related notes into courses. Track progress and keep your learning structured and focused.
  • Break big topics into focused courses.
  • Track progress to maintain momentum.
  • Keep related notes close.
Step 3
Log your day
Record daily study time and mood. Spot trends, keep momentum, and maintain a healthy learning rhythm.
  • Log study time and mood in seconds.
  • Spot your best study windows.
  • Aim for sustainable streaks—consistency wins.
Step 4
Review to remember
Use spaced review to reinforce what matters. Turn knowledge into long‑term memory with smart repetition.
  • Focus on high‑value notes during review.
  • Revisit at increasing intervals (spaced effect).
  • Keep sessions short and frequent.
Principles
Small shifts that make a big difference
  • Keep layouts symmetrical for effortless scanning.
  • Write atomic notes: one idea per note for sharper recall.
  • Prefer short, frequent sessions to maintain momentum.
Learning rhythm
A calm cadence that compounds
  • Daily: 15–25 minutes capturing and tidying notes.
  • Weekly: organize courses and reflect on progress.
  • Review: 2–4 short sessions per week, spaced out.
