Notion Charts Have Arrived! My New Life Dashboard Design

I dive into the new Notion Charts feature and share how I've been using it to create a new "Life Pulse" graphical dashboard revealing insights from across my entire Notion Life System. Charts is my favorite new feature since the toggle! It's a new era of Notion Dashboards.

More from August Bradley 😎

[Zereniti]

In our hour of need, he returns! Really looking forward to this video!

August, I discovered the PPV system you've built maybe what, 3 years ago. I decided to continue my way, what a complexe system I was saying to myself! I tried many other templates, many other ways to reach my goals in life. But a year ago, I had time and decided to come back to the PPV. I've listened to all your videos at least once, pausing, going back x minutes to re-listen to something you said or shown, and I build the system, learn a lot on the platform, but the most important, I achieved so much in the last year!!! I'm so impressed by myself, by what I was able to do, on my personal goal, my career goal! And today, seeing this new enhancement of Notion, and your video, wow! I was so excited when I learned Notion was planning to launch the charts!!
I really thank you for all the knowledge, wisdom and learning from your personal observation and life that you share on your channel, this is such a big, big life changer. I cannot thank you enough! Thank you for the knowledge, thank you for all ! ❤❤

I’ve been on the fence about upgrading to Notion plus for the new charts (the free plan has been plenty enough for me so far), but after watching this video, I upgraded immediately.. they got me😂
Amazing addition to PPV, can’t wait to dive into this!

[justnealpatel]

I think, like you mentioned, having charts surface in various contexts (weekly, monthly, etc.) is very powerful and I'll definitely be making use of it. Also helps to give the PPV system that aesthetic feel I've been looking for. Great video as always!

[CandiceIris]

This is so exciting! I only discovered the PPV Notion Life OS a bit over a week ago and am still building it from the YouTube videos and now I get to add in charts 🤩
Thank you August for all the free content and look forward to learning about your upcoming courses (I’ve signed up for your newsletter 😊).

[JimShingler]

Another Awesome Video. Thank You! I have been waiting for charts, ... really like the chart idea you shared. I really like incorporating into reviews.

[qqlife]

Amazing dashboard and really well-designed. Thanks, August!

[mrpugo]

Great point!

As template creators, we should definitely offer two options for our premium templates: one with charts and one without. This way, everyone gets what they need!

Oh man, there are so many updates I need to make with all these new features Notion added. 😅

Time to roll up my sleeves and get to work!

[noahpolicarpio]

Hey August, still haven't watched the entire video, but I want to tell you... I'm eagerly looking forward to your paid offerings, since I got so much value from using the PPV Notion LifeOS. I'm in your newsletter but haven't heard much from you there, so this is exciting news for me! Can't wait to see how valuable your paid resources will be :)

I've been getting a lot of use with the PPV Notion LifeOS for the past month. Thank you again for making that playlist free :)

[johanneskofler]

Amazing and thank you a lot! Instantly upgraded my Life Operating System and am really looking forward to your course!
I have implemented everything in your videos but am wondering how I can do it even better.
Do you already have plans when to launch the new LifeOS?

[ryeones]

really thankful for your work ab! i have been using the ppv system for a couple of years now and this chart update will definitely make tracking more visual, especially now that i have also recreated the life pulse dashboard you showed according to my needs!

one issue i'm currently facing tho - although i have been loving how my knowledge vault has been growing and updating over time, i still feel it does not fully link ideas or i may miss out given the fact that over time the knowledge vault grows too big. have also started looking at obsidian for pkm as it allows for linking of ideas abit more intuitively(?), mainly for notes as i will still have videos/articles/podcast etc stored in my media vault but at the same time the thought of having to juggle two applications doesn't really entice me...

if i were to go ahead with making notes in apple notes/obsidian, was wondering what the folder structure would be outside of notion? i get the pillars are a form of categorisation so they can be the top level folder, but was wondering what would then go next in line? would it be projects? or knowledge vaults?

[lukeMac]

The daily tracking tickers seem like the heavy hitters of this feature. Would be keen to see a revamped Habits and Routines video that builds on the one from three years ago with any new thinking and ties in the charts aspect... if you're taking requests :)

[Lenastar]

This is amazing. Perfect timing for me as I've been updating and redesigning my entire Notion (which is actually a huge undertaking). Thanks for this video. I hope you are feeling (somewhat)? better.

PS they have TEAL as an option- does that mean that will be applied across the rest of Notion like I've been requesting for years????

[jeremyamac]

I was wondering when a big new feature would get paywalled. As a visual person it is very tempting.

[Zereniti]

I've been playing around with the charts, is there a way to adjust the Y-axis in line charts? Like if I want to build a weight tracker, I would be interested in only from 80kg and up, but the chart start from 0, which makes it quite limited in use, as the actual figures would be crammed to the top of the chart, with changes from one value to another would be minimal.

[Mohamed-font]

What's the slider progress bar formula? :)
