Within each database, you can also highlight and display different views. The first one on my page is my content calendar, which is a database. There are a million different “blocks” that you use to create content in Notion.

Notion’s most powerful block is a database in my opinion. So I’m going to walk through each piece of my workflow so you can see how things are set up! I am also loving how it can integrate with my ever-expanding second brain, which is a post for another day! The great thing about Notion is that I have been able to modify and add things as I needed them. However, based on the screenshots, you can already see that I’ve modified something! I think I even deleted a view that I didn’t use in the video while filming! I created a video on YouTube (shown below) that shows my Workflow if you don’t want to read about it. Let me begin by saying that this is a growing and changing-by-the-day workflow. I can’t use Todoist for that and I was sick of looking at a million different places to find things.Įnter Notion and my Creating Time For Life Workflow. Notion is used to house all my content creation information and ideas. However, I embed my Todoist within it to make things work. I love Todoist, which you can read more about here, so I don’t use Notion for my tasks. Notion allows for that because it is essentially a blank space for you to create your own very simple or very complicated system within it. I am also a fan of figuring out what you need in a system and making it work for you instead of finding a system and trying to adapt what you want to do to fit in the system. If you read my posts about Checking Your Systems or Finding Your Perfect Layout you will see that I’m big on adapting and changing what’s not working. You may not know this, but I do love digital planning and productivity systems. One thing that I’m a big proponent of is planning that meets you where you’re at. It adapts and works the way you create it to be, which is super cool. It’s as minimal or as powerful as you need it to be.” Essentially it is productivity software that helps you get things done. If you were to go on the website, it says: “ Notion is a workspace that adapts to your needs.
