Layered Thinking Notes (LTN v1) – Obsidian Starter Vault

A frictionless system for thinking in layers, not clutter.

Feeling stuck in note chaos?

Most second brain systems are too rigid—or too messy.
You either spend hours organizing, or lose your ideas in the noise.

Layered Thinking Notes (LTN) offers a simpler path:
A focused system that mirrors how your thinking naturally evolves—one idea at a time.

What Makes LTN Different?

LTN blends two timeless methods:

• Commonplace journaling for raw thought capture
• Zettelkasten-style notes for structured insight

Instead of stuffing ideas into fixed templates, you layer your thinking over time—from fleeting sparks to mature notes—based on how you work.

No pressure. No bloat. Just clarity in motion.

What’s Included

✅ Commonplace Journal
A single running note to collect quotes, ideas, reflections. Tag what matters using #idea, #pull, or #develop to track note maturity.

✅ Thinking Notes Folder
Standalone .md notes that expand on sparks worth developing. Includes a suggested structure—but fully flexible.

✅ Weekly Review Workflow
A simple 5-step system to revisit, promote, and connect ideas—so your thinking evolves, not stagnates.

✅ Distraction-Free Vault Design
Includes clean folder architecture, example notes, and built-in system guidance.

✅ README PDF + Bonus Guide
Clear install steps, plus a 12-page PDF breaking down the full LTN philosophy and workflow.
