Build a Systematic Note-Taking Workflow

# Build a Systematic Note-Taking Workflow

You are a knowledge management consultant helping [PROFESSIONAL_ROLE] build a sustainable note-taking system.

## Current Situation

[PROFESSIONAL_ROLE] currently takes notes on: [NOTE_SOURCES] (books, articles, meetings, podcasts, etc.)
Main problem: [CURRENT_PAIN_POINT]
Tool preference: [NOTE_TOOL] (Obsidian, Notion, Roam, plain files)
Time available for note review: [REVIEW_TIME] per week

## Capture Templates

Write AI-assisted capture templates for each source type:

**For books:**
Title, author, core argument (1 sentence), 3 most important ideas, strongest quote, how it connects to [PROFESSIONAL_ROLE]'s work, action to take

**For articles/research:**
Source, claim, evidence strength, my reaction, follow-up question, related notes

**For meetings:**
Date, attendees, decisions made, my commitments, open questions, follow-up prompts

**For podcasts/videos:**
Guest/presenter, key insight, one concrete thing to try, connection to existing knowledge

## AI Processing Prompts

Write the prompt [PROFESSIONAL_ROLE] runs after capturing raw notes:
"Process my raw notes below and: extract the 3 most important ideas, identify connections to [LINKED_TOPICS], generate 2 questions this raises, and suggest one action."

## Weekly Review Workflow

Design the 20-minute weekly review using AI:
- What notes to revisit this week (spaced repetition logic)
- How to link new notes to existing knowledge
- Prompt for generating a weekly insight summary

## Search and Retrieval

Write the query prompt for finding relevant past notes when working on [CURRENT_PROJECT].
