Last updated: 2026-07-11 ## 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. ``` # <Topic> ## Projects possible future tasks, wishlists, long-lived projects... ## Reference ### Timeline ### ... ## Log ### YYYY #### YYYY-MM-DD work notes... ``` ## Timelines A kind of note I often find useful, to clarify and overview history of things: ``` ### FOO timeline DATE started foo DATE this happened DATE that happened ... ``` or ``` ### FOO timeline DATE started foo DATE this happened that happened DATE ... ```
