Introducing the Audiobook Companion Journal: Listen Smarter and Remember More

After weeks of building, I’m happy to announce that my audiobook companion journal Notion template is finally available for purchase. If you love audiobooks, but often find yourself forgetting the key takeaways and important moments as soon as you’re done, this is the product for you. Between long commutes, multitasking, and an endless supply of books, it’s easy for those insights to get lost in the brain. This is exactly why I created my Notion template. It’s designed for listeners who want to engage deeply with their books and retain what they hear.

Why This Template Exists

Traditional book trackers and reading logs focus on physical or Kindle books, but very few tools are made for audiobook listeners. Listening is a difference experience because we absorb the information while we’re often doing other things like cooking or driving. This can make physically writing down notes a bit of a challenge.

The audiobook companion journal is designed to help bridge that gap by:

  • Capturing quick notes with voice to text
  • Reflect on key takeaways and personal insights
  • Track what you’re currently listening to, what’s next, and what you’ve finished
  • Organize by genre
  • Stay motivated with a yearly listening goal

The best part is that it’s a fully customizable Notion template that works seamlessly across all your devices.

A Notion Template Built for Active Listening

This template supports the flow of the audiobook experience rather than the traditional book. You can jot down thoughts as your listen or add your favorite quotes and key insights. If you’re looking to turn your audiobook habit into an intentional learning practice, this template gives you the structure to do just that. It’s not geared towards any specific genre, so if you’re into productivity or the latest romantasy, you can tailor your note taking experience.

If you’re new to Notion, it’s a powerful productivity app that loved by creators and learners alike. You can learn more about Notion here to see why it’s a great place for organization and personal systems.
