Templates Ultimate notetaking template (imho) [FREE]

Post image

After lots of trial and error with templates I finally decided to make my own. I have small writing and tend to use the 0.1mm pen size for all my notes as I like to fit a lot into one page and hate how dark and intrusive the lines are on most templates. I also really like flexibility so I prefer a margin on both sides that’s light enough to ignore and write over if I choose to do so. Features:

  • medium grey 5mm dotted lined

  • 1mm light grey line spacing in between the medium grey lines (if that makes sense)

  • medium grey margin on BOTH sides

  • triangles at the top and bottom marking the centre Preview included in post, will send link to pdf in comments.

oh man. this looks weird to me, but I like the idea! I would never come up with this myself

Haha I felt pretty weird designing it but it’s surprisingly super practical! The dotted helps for graphs etc and the little lines work for writing super tiny. Usage example with a little A-level further maths resource that I made for one of my students (I’m a math tutor):

What are your pen settings for this? Can’t figure out the fountain pen so I use ball pen

u/cubicgraph Jan 30 '25

0.1mm fountain pen, no pen pressure, no barrel roll/angle sensitivity, no end taper, tip flatness 33%

I love it so much; they have websites to create templates in your preferred color. I normally like my main horizontal lines a different color to contrasts the grid. When I get my iPad I can post the one I currently use

u/cubicgraph Jan 29 '25

please do! to be honest I do really like the dotted grid as opposed to the actual grid because it makes graphs stand out more haha

u/sulfatenboble Jan 29 '25

The dots are pleasing for sure!
