Set up the resources that have particularly inspired you or a dialogue with yourself.
Think of ideas or lines that made you confront your status quo or disposition. Take up those references and archive them here. You can also add more properties and just modify the views as you’d like.

Pull the exact excerpts from these references that inspired a thought and write those thoughts down in a note.
Make sure to write a title that not only describes, but takes a position on the topic so it’s easier to link these to the big ideas.
