Articles

I've been taking notes since my college days. Back then, I used notebooks and colored pens, and I even scribbled in the margins of books. My notes were scattered everywhere, making it hard to find what I needed.

Eventually, I decided to organize everything in one place to make it easier to use. So, I put them all in a Microsoft Excel file. It was a tough process, and still, I couldn't manage them the way I wanted.

Over time, I've improved my note-taking system. I've categorized them and linked them with relevant keywords. I've tried to structure them effectively, but it still wasn't enough.

Then, I found the Notion platform. At first, it didn't seem like it could do much. But when I discovered its capabilities, I realized it was exactly what I needed. I moved all of my notes from thousands of books, articles, movies, and talks to Notion databases. I connected everything in Notion and greatly improved my note-taking system.

Finally, I had an efficient structure to manage all of my notes. I use that system when brainstorming and creating my content. In fact, this website exists thanks to that system.

In this section, I’m sharing articles that are extracted from my notes, along with my own interpretations and thoughts.
