More from August Bradley 😎

Hi August, found your page years ago while overwhelmed and trying to find a system to help me sort things out. I remember the excitement of actually finding content that matched the vison in My brain- unfortunately i was too overwhelmed to implement. Now im in a much better place and prepared to dedicate the time and attention needed to use your system.

Not sure when i will catch up to this video - but Im going back to vids 4 years ago to get the fundamentals.

Thanks again for prioritizing quality

The recurring items not appearing until the day they're scheduled is why I gave up using that functionality, so I'm glad you've been telling Notion we need to see them in advance! (I also landed on the same workaround of just rescheduling the recurring task to the next time it's due.)

🔥🔥🔥

It's so good to have you back August!

[MikeTrif]

Love the list of 'Needed Automation Enhancements'. Notion is already a powerful tool, but with those enhancements, it can become scary powerful.

[reynnor]

I am BEYOND excited for this. Super stoked to have you back August.

[JeffRhine]

Talk about an honest, thoughtful and efficiently empathetic intro! I subbed before it was even finished. Having just found your channel, I'm looking forward to exploring your content!

[byamberkri]

Such a great video, August! I'm SOOO happy to see you back and can't wait to see what else you publish :)

[stephentassell]

I found watching this video to be a valuable investment of my precious time. It serves as a powerful refresher of the incredible power of Notion, after the rapid development of over the last year. I particularly like the way that you always explain every nuance so clearly.

[kathygeffen]

Thanks. I have already used a ton of these in my system. Appreciate the pace and the structure to help the viewer speed sections as needed.

[sabianchase_]

great to see content again, the best on Notion for me, thank you as always!

[Zereniti]

1 hour 22 minutes?! OK, I need to set aside some time for this... Thanks August!

[ChelseaMck]

Hey August Fans - i've watched a ton of videos of his, August glad you're back and refreshing things! My stuck is probably a VERY simple one haha, currently around all the actions are they more like
A) are all the actions / tasks being are created and sitting in one spot pulled into the WHOLE system from only one master list in the action database linked to projects?

Or B) The actions are created in database/lists near the projects, then they be pulled back across the platform into 1 action list/master list and served up daily?

I feel like understanding this piece is what I'm not * clicking *.to start trying to set up a few things.

[KarenLuley]

Super excited about this! Thanks for all the awesome content. I can't wait to get started. Do you have a launch date for the newest version of NLD?

[jasinAmsterdam]

Great video as always! I appreciate you mentioning how automation is not the "holy grail" and tinkering to much with them can become a distraction!
Very much looking forward to the AI video!

Hello August! How are you? I’ve been following you since a long time ago. I was mesmerised and inspired by your PPV system, and I honestly have watched your first youtube series a couple of times in order to build my own system. (It has a couple of tweets around since my work isn’t ENTIRELY built on projects, so that nomenclature is a little bit more difficult to build on). Well, apart from this first introduction, I would like to know if I can DM for a couple of doubts and invitation!
Best wishes!

Hey August - as always, great content with a lot of valuable information. I will need to go back to the Project Automation section to double check my thoughts. From your presentation it sounds like I could establish a recurring project template with a series of automations for action items. For example, I preach a sermon each week. Am I correct in that understanding? So would I be able to create automations like action 1 - Establish Main Point (assign date) - Action 2 - Establish context ( make this action active after action 1 is checked) - Action 3 - Write first rough draft (assign date) - Action 4 - Edit rough draft (assign date) - Action 5 - Rehearse Sermon... Then each week select Preach Sermon in the Project dropdown template list?

[prepos]

hey august! I noticed something else during the video! since your last series on the PPV, I notice some changes in the pillars, in particular, "Personal Performance & Growth". what do you use it for? what kind of value goals do you link to it?

Thank you!

[ConnorDeane-moed]

Hey, been waiting to be able to do the course for a while. any idea when its going to be available?

[prepos]

Thank you August. One thing until now (maybe I’ll do pther question seeing alL the video): the solo tasks (no linked project) must have a Do date as you can say, but which status should have? Active? or maybe also future or next up for example
