Legitimately learned a ton about Notion watching this, thank you.

5 Stars! Step 1: Purchase the template BEFORE you watch the video. Step 2: Duplicate the template and integrate with your account. Step 3: Watch the video while he walks you through your new life changing tool! >>> Review: Amazing. This template is exactly how I think. It covers everything. Oh...and you nailed the video - a users' dream. Well done and thank you!

[deekay]

This is really nice and well done, but I do wish there was a goal management section. Such as 3 goals for the year, then broken down into quarterly, monthly, weekly (whatever) tasks or projects that you can make progress on along the way. Then each month and/or quarter, review the progress, what went well, what didn't, etc.

Honestly, this is one of the best notion videos I have seen in a while. Keep up the good work! 🙂

[KevinMusprett]

This is literally the best - no fluff productivity guide for notion. I've tried 20 other videos, and this is the best.

[dmowius]

Thanks a lot for sharing, I have build my own CMS a long time ago and added a few of your concepts. Especially like the "ideal week" and "move the needle". Real problem solvers!

[atieshpawar]

Holy just wow 😂 I'm starting tmrow thank you my friend u just save me a lot of youtube timing on this topic... you got a subscriber now❤😊

[Niles-eiww]

I feel motivated as soon as I hear your voice. Is this the operant conditioning you were talking about in an earlier video?! 😂
I have bought Headquarters, and it's amazing! Thanks for the refresher on how to take advantage of it as I haven't been using the journaling feature or the time tracking feature!

Amazing combination of Notion + Productivity + teaching skills

[CliffLawrence]

I have come across countless templates all over Gumroad, Etsy etc. None of them actually work practically. They all seem to make things very complicated. I bought your template yesterday and honestly, I can say this is probably the most action oriented and clean setup. My productivity depends on having a bird's eye view of my tasks and buckets - all in one place. This setup solves that. Excited to make this my day-to-day palnner! Hope this gets more attention. Deserves so much more. Great job!

[borntobebald]

I bought this template Yesterday! Worth every penny!! - but I really confused by the difference between life buckets and workspaces, and what’s the difference is for notes and resources? - do you want to make a video on how you use it your self, maybe with the thought in mind to use more synonyms ore different explanations? - I think the language differences can make it a bit hard to fully understand the meaning of everything :)
But all in all a really great template!!!!

[Tangi_ENT]

This came in at cosmic timing. I had set out to create a productivity system of the ages but this just dwarfs anything I could've come up with.

Only some slight asks :

How would one go about connecting reading apps to this ? Like readwise and kindle ? (I'll see if I can do that, shouldn't be too hard)

I've also been making use of habitica for pure habit tracking it would be nice to integrate that somehow. That's the plan anyways.

I really like the obsidian makes a web for all your ideas and connections I hope notion adds that someday.

OH, whilst I'm spitballing. I kind of abandoned todoist just now. You can easily build it in notion and hiding notifications behind a paywall is kind of crazy. One thing I do love about it is the graph. Now streaks aren't that important, they can be slightly toxic but they are fine. What I appriciate is the graphs. Love graphs man, it would be sublime to have Data visualisations. Imagine with the fitness section it takes your workout regiment into account and you can display how many pushups you did total.
Kinda like seeing your stats in a game [27 workouts completed this Month | 90 000 calories consumed | 1.24kg gained] or just like [156 task completed this month]

You can see why I like habitica.

All this seems like a surrogate activity though, I can't even imagine how to build this. I gotta make use of formulas and stuff to make loading bars and such sheesh. Overcomplicating it before I even begin.

That said I'll just adopt yours and build out slowly.

Only annoying part is that I have to revamp/reorganise my old system to fit in yours.

Thank you for all of your hard work, I've been at this fully for like 4 days in a row and hardly got anywhere relevant. I can only imagine the hours of study, research, course taking and experimentation all this took.

Can't wait to maximalise it (I love minimalism as much as the next guy but I need strong visual cues), its going to be a good procrastination session setting all this up in notion.

[gamer-and-son]

Great template! I am setting it up as I'm writing this comment. :) Quick question though, I have recurring tasks in my workflow. How do I implement them in your system?

[lucasmpr]

Attention: Notion Calendar won't add the tasks to the calendar since the database doesn't have a Calendar View on the root database.

To fix that, open the "My Task List" source database page and just add a calendar view. Just did that and it worked for me.

[Fred.]

This is awesome! You got a new sub + I bought the template 😉

[erinv]

I love this so much and just purchased it! Thank you! Is there a way to edit the new project template to auto-fill tasks that I always include? I'm finding myself re-entering the same 7 tasks for each client project and would love to streamline that if it were possible. Figured you'd know if there was a way :)

[yymage]

PLEASE make a budget template, love your work!

[UchuIstAuchDabei]

Hey nice video! I just downloaded notion today since I needed some to organize my notes and tasks and I found this video.

Super cool sadly I didnt know it would cost something.. I am trying to build it myself and tweak it but I have to figure out the connecting stuff first... ehat is i5 he is using as "life buckets"? Is that a database or what part

[blakedel]

I’ve been binge watching you channel for a few days now! I’m excited to download this template and get organised. A couple questions:
1. I want to use this for work and life tasks. For certain work projects I have sub projects and for each one I may want to add notes like what I did to complete them, outcomes, meetings notes, links, etc. Currently i use them in a folder with multiple sub folders. Is there a way to do this on this template? I don’t want them to necessarily be associated to a task because I don’t want the notes to go away when I complete a task or a project.
2. For certain life tasks, I may want my partner to complete a task. Is there a way to add him to certain projects so he can also view outstanding tasks, and also create like a tag for him, so i can tag him to tasks he can complete?
Thank you and great work!

[indysebastian]

I love how organized this is! But I was wondering if this type of task management works with both personal growth tasks and my 9-5 work tasks?
