====== Using GoodNotes for Vocabulary & To-Do Lists ======

===== 📝 Setting Up GoodNotes for Vocabulary =====

  * **Create a dedicated “Vocab Notebook”**
    * New Notebook → name it (e.g., *Spanish Vocabulary*).  
    * Choose a paper template (grid, lined, Cornell, etc.).  
    * Add a **Table of Contents page** at the front with links to sections.  

  * **Organize by theme**
    * Food & Drink  
    * Travel  
    * Common Verbs  
    * Colors / Numbers  
    * Phrases  

  * **Enter vocabulary**
    * Left column → Target word.  
    * Right column → Translation/definition.  
    * Example sentence below if useful.  
    * Handwriting is searchable later.  

  * **Flashcards with Study Sets**
    * Convert vocab into **flashcards**.  
    * Uses **spaced repetition** for efficient review.  
    * Example:  
      * Front: ''el perro''  
      * Back: ''the dog'' (+ optional image 🐕)  

  * **Reviewing**
    * Use **Study Mode** daily.  
    * Export cards to Quizlet or Anki if needed.

===== ✅ Setting Up GoodNotes for To-Dos =====

  * **Create a “Daily Planner Notebook”**

    * Use Shape tool for neat checkboxes.  

  * **Structure Ideas**
    * **Weekly Overview** → big picture tasks.  
    * **Daily Pages** → detailed lists.  
    * Mark done items with ✅ or checkmark.  

  * **Linking Vocabulary + To-Dos**
    * Example:  
      * Task: "Review 20 new vocab words" → hyperlink to vocab notebook page.
