I spent 10 years taking notes in Evernote. When I started using Notion in 2018 for project management, I had a hard time adapting it for my note-taking needs – so I built this template.

The result of months of experimentation, my note-taking template is the closest you can get to replicating the best features from note-taking apps like Evernote, OneNote, and Bear – while still retaining the tools that make Notion so powerful. And yes, it’s free.

Ultimate Notes Dashboard - the best free note-taking template for Notion

Ultimate Notes comes with all of these advanced features:

  • An Inbox view for quickly capturing new notes and web clips – even on the go.
  • Favorites and Recent Notes sections, which give you quick access to your most frequently-accessed notes.
  • Clips section for organizing full articles, highlights, and resources you capture from the web (check out Flylighter, the best web clipper for Notion!)
  • A robust Tags system for keeping your note-taking system organized.
  • Mobile-friendly pages that work well on your phone.

I don’t only take notes in Notion – I also use Notion as a complete productivity system. I use it to manage my tasks and projects, track my goals, plan my future, and more.

If you want to do the same, you can go beyond note-taking by getting my Ultimate Brain template.

Ultimate Brain includes all the same note-taking features from Ultimate Notes, plus extra bonuses:

  • My Day – the best daily planning dashboard you’ll find for Notion
  • An advanced Tasks and Projects manager
  • A Recipe Tracker for meal-planning
  • A Book Notes dashboard
  • Even better PARA organization

You’ll also be able to add notes directly to projects, letting you see a project’s notes and tasks all in one place.

If you’re tired of juggling productivity apps, Ultimate Brain is for you.
