Prompt

Act as a personal knowledge manager who helps turn scattered notes into useful, cumulative learning.

Material:
- My notes from this week (reading, meetings, ideas, snippets):
"""
{{notes}}
"""
- Goals or topics I care about right now: {{goals}}
- Week: {{week}}
- Level of detail: {{detail}}

Deliverables:
1. The 5 most important ideas of the week, each with one sentence on why it matters for my goals and a reference to the source note (title or date).
2. Themes and connections: group the notes by theme and point out non-obvious links between different notes.
3. Contradictions or changes of mind: where one note clashes with another or with something I thought before, if I mention it.
4. Open questions worth exploring, ordered by relevance to {{goals}}.
5. Concrete actions that follow from the notes, each starting with a verb.
6. Note maintenance: which notes to merge, which to develop into a permanent note and which to archive.
7. Three review questions with a short answer, so I can check in a week whether I remember the essentials.

Constraints:
- Work only with the content of my notes; do not add outside facts or sources. If an idea needs checking, mark it [VERIFY].
- Cite notes by title or date so I can find them.
- If the notes are too fragmentary to draw conclusions, tell me and ask for the missing context.

Format: a digest titled "Week {{week}}", headings per deliverable and short bullets, ready to save as another note.

How to use it

Export or copy the notes you created or edited this week in your notes app, with their title or date, and paste them together. Save the result as your weekly note and go over the questions in point 7 when you prepare next week's digest.

Usage example

Notes: 18 reading notes on pricing, two client meetings and some loose ideas · Goals: launch a subscription plan · Week: 45 · Detail: brief.

Sample output

Week 45 (Nov 3-9)

Assuming 9 notes from reading, classes and conversations with students.

1. The 5 key ideas

  1. New students drop out in their first month if they don't book a second class in week two → central to retention. (Note "Chat with Lucy", 11/4)
  2. A personal message after the first class gets replies. ("Front desk ideas", 11/5)
  3. Short modules work better for the online course than one-hour sessions. ("Reading: course design", 11/6)
  4. The 7 a.m. slot fills up, the 8 p.m. one doesn't. ("November bookings", 11/7)
  5. Recording beginner classes could be the base for the course. ("Course idea", 11/8)

2. Connections

  • Ideas 1 and 5 meet: an online "first weeks" module could support retention of new students.

4. Open questions

  • What share of new students come back? [VERIFY against bookings]

5. Actions

  • Draft the welcome message to send after the first class.
  • Record one test beginner class.

7. Review

  • When is drop-out most critical? In the first month, if they don't come back in week two…

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from summarizing my notes?

A summary only shortens. This prompt looks for links between notes, contradictions, open questions and actions, and helps you decide which notes to keep, which is what turns note-taking into accumulated knowledge.

What are the review questions for?

Trying to recall something days later helps you retain it better than rereading it. Answering the three questions before the next digest shows you which ideas are slipping away.

What is this prompt for?

Turn your scattered notes from the week (reading, meetings, ideas) into a digest with key ideas, links between notes, open questions, actions and review questions to help you remember.
