# Note Titles

Titles play a vital role in organizing your notes effectively.&#x20;

**Tips for Writing Effective Titles:**

* **Be Descriptive and Specific:** Use titles that clearly indicate the content of the note. Avoid generic titles.
* **Include Key Names and Concepts:** Mention the names of important characters, places, events, or concepts discussed in the note.
* **Use a Consistent Format:** Develop a consistent style for your titles. This will make your project easier to navigate. For example:
  * `Character Name (Character Role) - Aspect`: `David (Protagonist) - Backstory`
  * `Scene Name - Scene Description`: `Coffee Shop Meeting - David and Sarah discuss the plan`
  * `Theme: Theme Name`: `Theme: Loss and Redemption`
  * `Plot Point - Description`: `Act 1 Turning Point - The Discovery`
* **Keep it Concise (But Not Too Short):** Aim for a balance between being descriptive and being concise. A title should be long enough to be informative but short enough to be easily scanned.
* **Differentiate:** Ensure that your title helps you differentiate from other similar notes.

**Good vs. Less Helpful Titles:**

| Less Helpful Title | Better Title                                  | Why?                                                                                     |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Protagonist`      | `David (Protagonist) - Backstory`             | Includes the character's name and specifies the aspect of the character being discussed. |
| `Scene`            | `Coffee Shop Meeting - David and Sarah`       | Specifies the location and the characters involved.                                      |
| `Plot`             | `Act 1 Turning Point - The Discovery`         | Clearly indicates the point in the plot structure and a brief description.               |
| `Notes`            | `Research Notes on Ancient Roman Weaponry`    | Much more descriptive, indicating the specific topic of the research.                    |
| `Meeting`          | `Initial Meeting with Mentor - Scene Outline` | Specifies who is in the meeting, and its notes are about the scene.                      |
