I'm able to keep on track with my day and better manage my time this way. I don't necessarily need to jot down every single task from my Notion to-do list into my Google Calendar, but I find it essential to mark the high priority tasks for different time slots. Whereas, Google Calendar is reflective of when I'm gonna do those tasks. It holds all the projects, goals, and tasks that I need to do. Notion is the database that holds all of my tasks.

My team has a whole different universe of Notion templates that help us on the small-biz, entrepreneur side of things and keeps this biz up and runnin’ each day. *If you all are curious about Notion templates from an entrepreneur perspective, from a project planning outlook or task management as a group, let me know! This is something that I would be curious to dive into, as my team and I have gotten into a great rhythm with our current templates. Also, the tasks I'm tagged from my team are auto-populated into my own personal weekly planning dashboard so nothing is missing between the two. My team can tag me in a task, I can tag them, we can set a due date, label it a certain priority, and so much more. When we log in in the mornings, this is the first place we go. We have team projects, team tasks, specific documents we all reference, and basically everything within our Team Hub. My Notion task system is also synced up with my team's tasks, which is another database that also lives in my Notion called Team Hub. Team Hub: Another great part about Notion is the ability to collaborate with others inside of it. My husband and I are building a house and I have a whole house database filled with potential furniture, dates I need to purchase by for supply chain lead time, important dates from the builders, inspiration for different rooms… Notion holds all the things I care about in one platform. I use it when I’m going to the grocery store, and when I’m packing for a trip. I track which Korean dramas I'm watching. I store my recipes and date night ideas in there. It holds my projects, it's my weekly planning, my yearly planning, my goal setting, quarterly planning. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Notion is my literal second brain! It's what holds my tasks - big, small, and everything in between.
