🎈 Alt. Notes Visualization

I want to show you how one can use emojis to “spice up” a notes page in Notion. I’ve been using applications like Obsidian, Notion, and RemNote to optimize my research and retention systems, of which emojis are used across the board. I provide an example of this visualization method from a history textbook I found online.

Displaying notes uniquely and incrementally is key to writing good notes. Especially in a text-heavy document, you want to be able to pull attention to important sections, however, a highlight method can only go so far. Sprinkling relevant emojis inside text creates a cleaner environment, and also provides focal points that recall the context of the highlight upon a glance.
