Layered Thinking Notes (LTN) for Notion

A minimalist system to capture ideas, deepen your thinking, and build a knowledge base that lasts.

Capture freely. Think in layers.

Notion makes it easy to write.
But without structure, ideas scatter and thinking stalls.

Layered Thinking Notes (LTN) gives you a simple, frictionless system to:

• Capture raw ideas on the fly
• Let them mature over time
• Turn sparks into connected insights

This isn’t a rigid database setup.
It’s a dynamic thinking system that grows with you.

What Makes It Different?

LTN blends the best of two timeless approaches:

• Commonplace journaling for effortless input
• Zettelkasten-style notes for structured output

You’re not stuffing ideas into fixed categories—you’re letting your thinking evolve naturally, one note at a time.
