🦅🦅🦅 (feel free to do your own bird screech sound effects for added flare!) Introducing… the S.O.A.R. SystemĪfter many months of using Notion, we took a look at the MOST important databases and pages we use here at Wandering Aimfully and then we organized it into a system we could teach to you!Īnd that system has an acronym, because DUH. Organizing Life and Business with our Notion S.O.A.R. Notion has very robust and easy-to-understand help docs so if you want to deep dive into a specific feature, you can go to their help docs to learn more about it. Note: This section is a very abridged overview of Notion and all its functionalities. Truly, the possibilities are endless and that’s what makes Notion powerful! The best part of Notion is using all these blocks together to build whatever dashboards and pages are most helpful to keep your life and business organized. You can also create Templates to load a pre-made set of content blocks for every page. It’s important to know that every single entry in a Notion database is its own Notion page which means you can customize it with content blocks. You can visualize the same Database in different ways using Views (Gallery, Calendar, Board, Timeline, etc): While databases seemed complicated and clunky with other productivity apps, Notion has really nailed this feature! Notion Databases allow you to organize similar pages and assign different properties to them. You can pick and choose the blocks that would work for every single page in your Notion workspace.īut by far, the feature that stands out the most is the ability to create Databases. We like to think of Notion as a system of blocks for you to build whatever you want. There are many different content blocks in Notion such as:
You can add content to each page by using different types of content blocks. Notion is a system of interconnected pages. Notion Basics: Content Blocks, Pages, and Databasesīefore we dive into how we use Notion to organize our lives and businesses, let’s go through a little crash course on the basics of how Notion works. Notion is what finally fit that criteria. We also wanted something versatile enough to manage multiple types of organization so we could focus on actually using just ONE system, not three different apps and systems. We wanted a system that was flexible enough that we could adjust when we got bored (or didn’t feel as productive). We craved consistency in our organization systems. We were exhausted by the cycle of finding a new organizational tool, forgetting to keep up with it, feeling overwhelmed because everything fell to pieces and nothing is organized, feeling shame for not being able to keep up with the tool, and finally, looking for a new tool to escape the guilt from abandoning the last one. Here’s the truth about our journey with organizing our business and staying on top of things using different productivity tools/tactics over the years…Įvery time we discover a new productivity tool or app, our motivation and organization shoot up! We get really excited and we spend hours setting up a new app to ensure maximum productivity but then, a few months (maybe even weeks) later, the adrenaline of the new shiny app wears off and we just stop using it. 👩🏻‍🦰👨🏻‍🦲 Our Journey with Productivity Apps and Tactics before Notion We all love to read/watch/listen to other people talk about their holy grail productivity tools and habit-building hacks, but it’s important that you figure out what works best for YOU and your unique situation. We don’t want to ignore or minimize that privilege is real and not everyone has the same advantages.īut alas, forming new habits can be a struggle! *When we say most important, we mean the most important things YOU can control. Let us share a big, juicy secret with you: Sustainable habits and being consistent are the most* important things necessary when trying to reach your goals.
When you can get all of your to-dos, your tasks, the overwhelm of everything you have to think about out of your brain and into a system, it leaves more room for creativity, for having ideas and for executing those ideas.
