![]() These are my pats on the back, public recognition, things I knocked out of the park, little reminders when my day gets tough or when I’m having a string of tough days. AccoladesĪ list of why I’m awesome (I am). This changes week to week, so it’s a nice overview and I can see how far out I need to start planning for more work (or less if something is ramping up). I keep track of my current client situation here and how much time I have available and planned for each. They used to be spread across Trello or Asana boards and to some extent, I do still keep track of work items there, but what I’m doing this week lives here and is IN.ONE.PLACE. The best part about my weekly to-do lists is that they are IN.ONE.PLACE. This Week contains a weekly focus (or two), personal, general business, and client-specific to-do lists, and a couple of daily trackers (meal planning/tracking, etc.). This is a landing page for blog post ideas and drafts. This is a landing page for CFPs and their deadlines, a list of talk ideas, and talk drafts. I track it here and revisit it at the end of each quarter and each year. It could be a blog post in itself, but it’s broken up by quarters and then by months where I set goals. This is a landing page for what I want to do in my business this year. How I’m using these pages 2019 Business Goals My workspace landing page looks like this Everything else will go underneath a top-level page. My default Evernote notebook just became a dumping ground so in Notion I’ve turned my workspace into a daily landing area with a few key pages to keep me focused. Similar to Evernote I have a notebook or top-level page for each client, ideas, technical notes and howtos, travel, finance, etc. Just like I do a new notebook! And that was super helpful and how I got to here. Then someone mentioned sitting down and planning out my workspace. It has some great templates but I wasn’t sure what I would need or how to organize it all. How I’ve organized my Notion workspaceĪt first, my eyes glazed over when I saw Notion. Here’s what I’ve done in the last four weeks, how I organize some of my life, and what I think about Notion so far. I went back to Evernote to finish my draft but 25 minutes later ended up just upgrading Notion because I was quickly annoyed. ![]() Note: Three quarters through writing this draft post I hit the 1000 block limit and had to upgrade. I’m still on the free version of Notion and am waiting to upgrade until I’ve made the final decision to switch. There are a few things I haven’t figured out how to handle and a few quirks that I’m learning my way around. For the most part, I love it! I’m wondering what the catch is and what (other) challenges I’m going to run up against. And it’s stuck back at home.įor the last 4 weeks, I’ve been exploring Notion. I just started a new notebook and now I need access to notes in the previous one. I’m not necessarily looking to replace my physical notebook but I do wonder if I could better incorporate that process into my digital life. Instead of using Evernote for this I’ve used a paper notebook (this moleskine one here). I’ve also been bullet journaling for the last couple of years and it’s been a great way to force me to plan my days more intentionally upfront. With some of the organizational changes happening recently and less frequent feature updates along with not being able to really export my data in a non-Evernote format, I’ve been exploring other tools.
