Pro tip: Whatever you put as your highlight, create a corresponding event on your calendar right away so you are forced to plan your day around that highlight. It could be something as casual as calling your parents to something as serious as blocking time off to apply to a new job. Long story short, your daily highlight doesn’t have to be something “productive.” It is just something you look forward to doing that day and will 100% make time for. Regular viewers will know I’m a huge fan of the “highlight” method mentioned in the book “Make Time” by ex-Googlers Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky. Moving over to the Make Time section, clicking “New” brings me to a “New Day” template page where I fill out these 5 properties. This just makes me feel less stressed about not finishing everything today, and I can easily move them back to the daily tasks section the next day. And if you remember from my Simple Productivity System video I only use Todoist as a quick capture tool and I use Notion to organize what I’ve captured, so there’s no duplication of effort there.Īnd sometimes, when I bite off more than I can chew, I simply move all uncompleted tasks to the “For Tomorrow” section. I like to be able to move tasks around depending on what I want to do first, and I can’t really do that in a Notion table view sorted by Due Date. So basically the 7-day view and Todoist feed me daily tasks to complete. First, I always complete a “Make Time” entry, then I have to respond to all your annoying comments on social media, joking of course…then I review my content calendar to make sure my next video, newsletter, LinkedIn post are all on track.Īnd finally, I create to-do items based on this 7-day view, AND based on tasks I’ve previously captured in Todoist that are due today. These 4 default tasks will then basically plan out my day. If you want to change this simply click the gear icon and you can add your own. I drag all completed tasks from the previous day down to this completed tasks page, and click the New Day template button, and these 4 to-do items are automatically populated. So every morning, I actually start in the Daily Tasks section. And at the very bottom this is just a place to keep all Notion pages that are related to this Home Screen. To the left, I have a daily task view and a “For Tomorrow” section, both of which are NOT in a Notion database format, and I did on purpose, you’ll see why in a bit. I’ll go over exactly how this works in a second, but first I have to admit I stole this directly from Thomas Frank, who’s just a Notion genius. As you can see this task is attached to this project so these 2 databases are related. To the right are my projects and a 7-day view of upcoming tasks. Right below on the left, I have my staple “Make Time” database where I keep track of my highlight for the day, 1 thing I’m grateful for, and something I want to let go. I loved using my previous Notion Weekly Planner but having to create a new page each week started to a get little annoying after 2 years.įor this latest iteration, I made a few structural tweaks but kept the core elements, enjoy! ResourcesĪt the very top I have a weather widget from Indify showing a 3-day weather forecast.
