This is a **daily note** you are reading right now - today's note to be exact. **Here you start your day**. You have one individual note for every day in your calendar.

→ *What goes in here?* Anything you have on your mind for that day:
	- Your most important tasks and goals
	- Time blocks to give your day structure (drag a task into the timeline)
	- Ideas and thoughts you have during the day
	- Links to websites you want to read later
	- Reminders to follow up with someone
	- Errands you have to check off
	- Meeting notes

... and so on. Get everything out of your mind and capture it here — for now. Writing everything down calms your brain and allows you to focus on the current task. Treat daily notes like an inbox for that day.

Here's your first task:
* [Watch a short video on how to get started - 6 min](https://noteplan.co/video/?id=00e33660dc734f098db5ab537767dbf0).
* After that, [[Start Here]] to learn how to file your notes.
* Plan your day (see an example below).

- In the left sidebar, you'll see a few sample notes and a folder called "Manual" under the resources folder. Browse these notes whenever you have time, they're there to help and provide useful reference later on. Feel free to delete or archive any sample notes you don't need; archived notes can always be accessed if you want them again.
