Great idea 👍 — here’s your answer reformatted for DokuWiki so you can drop it right into your wiki. I’ve used headings, bullet lists, and a table to keep it clean and easy to navigate.

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”
•	Import a free planner PDF or use checklist pages.
•	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.

🔗 Supplementing GoodNotes with Other Apps

GoodNotes doesn’t send reminders. Options:

•	Use Apple Reminders or Apple Notes for alerts.
•	Use Craft or Things 3 for more advanced task management.
•	Use Obsidian for integrated vocab + tasks (with plugins).

🌟 Example Workflow

•	Morning: Open Daily Planner in GoodNotes → write today’s tasks.
•	Study: Open Vocab Notebook → add new words, convert to flashcards.
•	Evening: Review Study Sets → check off completed tasks.
•	Strict deadlines: Add to Apple Reminders for notifications.

📄 Sample GoodNotes Page Layout

You can use a simple table format in DokuWiki to create a template for vocab and tasks.

Vocabulary Page Example

Word (Target Language) Translation/Definition Example Sentence Notes/Memory Aid
el perro the dog El perro es grande. 🐕 picture of dog
la casa the house La casa es azul. link to photo

To-Do Page Example

•	Buy groceries
•	Review 10 new verbs
•	Watch Spanish YouTube video
•	Write 5 example sentences using new vocab

This structure mirrors what you’d set up visually in GoodNotes:

•	The vocab section can be a table format (handwritten or typed).
•	The to-do section can be a bullet list with checkboxes.

👉 Next step: I can make you a PDF/PNG GoodNotes template page (with a vocab table + a to-do checklist) that you can import as a custom page into GoodNotes.

Do you want the sample layout to look more like a grid/table (for structured vocab tracking) or a notebook/planner style page (more free-form with lined paper and a checklist)?
