## Notes page layout
Here's a standard page layout that has been working well for me for a few years.
- A consistent layout keeps things organised and reduces mental effort.
- This one avoids too much fragmentation, and scales well to any number of topics.
- The page can get large, but you can fold sections not being used.
- The most active parts can be reached quickly: todo lists at the top, today's notes and work log at the bottom (Cmd-up, Cmd-down on a mac).
- The work log is easy to scan in chronological order.
