How do I manage the references of my Service Design Principles?


My two cents

I wrote a blog article that details my setup for keeping track of references. In short I use

  1. a notion database with a formula to "automatically" generate the reference quoted in Harvard style

  2. short.io to shorten the URLs in a way that I can then change the URL later if the link dies.

  3. a google sheets document with a script that checks once per week the deadlinks


A template you can re-use

I created a full notion template called "Principles Note Taker" that also contains this reference manager. Here is a video that shows more details about the reference manager:
