Professional Note Templates
Start faster with ready-to-use templates. Copy instantly or unlock AI features in Luma.
Note templates are pre-built structures — sections, headings, and prompts — for a specific kind of note, so you don't start from a blank page every time. A meeting notes template already has slots for attendees and action items; a study notes template already separates key concepts from open questions. In Luma, templates work as a starting outline you fill in by typing or speaking, and AI can help summarize or turn the result into flashcards afterward. The 5 quick templates below are copy-and-paste ready. For templates with full instructions, worked examples, and tips, see the in-depth guides linked further down this page.

Work
Meeting Notes Template
A meeting notes template is a reusable outline for capturing who attended, what was discussed, what was decided, and who owns each follow-up task. Use it any time you're in a recurring team sync, a client call, or a one-off planning meeting where decisions and owners need to be traceable afterward. The structure below works for a two-person check-in or a ten-person cross-team review.
Study
Cornell Notes Template
Cornell notes is a two-column note-taking method: a narrow cues column for questions and keywords on the left, a wider notes column for details on the right, and a summary section at the bottom. It's best for lectures, textbook reading, or any material you'll need to review later for a test, because the cues column turns your notes into a self-testing tool automatically.
Study
Study Notes Template
A study notes template organizes a topic into key concepts, a detailed notes section, open questions, and a short summary you can review quickly before a test. Use it whenever you're consolidating material from a class, textbook chapter, or video into something exam-ready, rather than taking notes for the first time during a live lecture.
Work
1:1 Meeting Notes Template
A 1:1 meeting notes template is a recurring structure for manager-report check-ins that covers current work, career development, feedback in both directions, and follow-up actions. Use it every time you have a regular one-on-one, whether weekly or biweekly, so conversations build on each other instead of starting from scratch each time.
Study
Lecture Notes Template
A lecture notes template is a lightweight structure for capturing a class in real time: topic, key points, examples given by the instructor, and a short post-class review. It's built for speed during the lecture itself, unlike study notes which are for consolidating material afterward. Use it in any live class, seminar, or recorded lecture you're watching for the first time.
Personal
Daily Journal Template
A daily journal template is a short, repeatable prompt structure — mood, gratitude, highlights, and tomorrow's goals — designed to be filled in within a few minutes each day. Use it at the end of the day (or first thing in the morning) to build a consistent reflection habit without staring at a blank page every time.
