The content is excellent but so is the overall narrative, the way the pieces in the video are put together, the tone and pace in the speak (although I'm not a fan of background music which disturbs my concentration), the variation in the scenes throughout the plot etc. Really inspiring, too. Looking forward to dive into more of your videos on Notion.

@@BetterCreating Alright I think I've made it through most of your content on Notion (most excellent work BTW) and I'd like your take on the following: 1.) Best practices for daily tasks, specifically ones you'd like to turn into habits - where to put them, whether they're their own database or just regular tasks formatted differently, etc. 2.) What about projects within projects? "Renovate my house" for example isn't comprehended as merely an enormous list of discrete tasks, but as sub-projects that sometimes intersect. The same would apply to something like "launch my business" as well, and I just wonder how best to conceptualize & set these up. Thanks mate!

Thanks Ian, food for thought for a future video. Working on a few follow ups and add ons for 2021. Recurring tasks is a tricky one in notion - it either requires huge coding to create work arounds or a clever second input section (but that make everything a little more busy on the dashboard - working on it!) Thanks for watching 👍

@@ianpettit678 I think the sub-project idea is great! Have you figured out how to make that work for you within Notion? If so, please share, as I’ve got “Renovate my house” and “Launch my business” top-level type of projects as well, and think I’d really benefit from sub-projects within the larger “big rock” sorts of things. Thanks much!

This has given me so many ideas for my setup! Thank you! One question though. I just came across another Notion expert yesterday who recommends that you never create multiple views in your original database, because it saves you time when you create links to that database in setting up the different linked views. I noticed that you have multiple views in your original Bibliography of Inspiration database and I wonder if you've had any issues with this.
@BetterCreating
2 жыл бұрын
Great to hear! welcome to the BC community! I've found it to be fine: The other views do need to be edited for filters, hidden columns and sorts independently, but other than that i like it. The advantage of using / create linked database views in dashboards is that you can get more focused reads of info for your uses. It can make your navigation bar busy unless thou - I get around this by putting every system page within my 'HOME' page and then creating my own emoji based navigation menu in a synced block for the key pages. So many ways to use Notion thou and this is just me! Good luck!

ha! Probaly easy for people to fall into what you describe. But I've got more done in the last year using this system, than any year before it. - TBF - It took a lot of setting up - but now it runs my life and many other people's too who just download my template..
