Writing a literature review?
You know the saying, “Hindsight is 20/20”?
That’s how I felt after writing my first major literature review.
Lit reviews can be overwhelming for students and scholars alike. From finding research papers, to having to read them (yuck), to somehow needing to connect them all and spew all your newfound insights into a perfectly formatted essay… yeah, it can get messy fast.
Looking back, it didn’t need to be as confusing as it felt in the moment.
I made this Notion template to hold your hand (or brain??) and walk you through the entire process. Say goodbye to the documents scattered across your folders titled “Plan Lit Review”, “Real Plan”, and “Plan Final_FINAL”. Now, you can keep it all in one place!
In this template, you will find:
- Places to store your rubric & break down the essay question
- A built-in mind map to capture all your ideas
- A full essay plan template
- A readings/articles tracker for note-taking
- Shortcuts to Google Scholar and PsycINFO
- A Pomodoro timer
- An APA 7th submission checklist widget
- An APA 7th pre-formatted essay guide

And if you’ve read this far let me impart you with some non- psych knowledge: Do not make ube pretzels. There’s a plant chemical in the ube that will react with the bi-carb soda in the bathing step. Strange colours will appear. Consider yourself warned.
