Built-for-you life dashboard in Notion
We’re building a Notion Life Dashboard for you so you can design your personalized system right away, without tinkering in Notion. This isn’t your typical $5 Notion template: you’ll get the exact productivity HQ that coincides with all of the key foundations of the course, and you can’t find this anywhere else.
In the past, we took students through the process of building their own personalized dashboard from scratch. But during this cohort, you’ll be able to start with a solid foundation (because we made it for you).
Don’t worry, though: If you’re taking the course so you can learn the ins and outs in Notion, you’ll have the opportunity to build from scratch within one of our Notion-themed pods. But if you’d rather not start with a blank page, this is for you.
8 self-paced Notion activity worksheets
The course is relentlessly pragmatic and we’ll always push you to put your learnings into practice with these pre-made worksheets. They will help you deconstruct and identify your Keystone habits, set 2022 Goals, create your anti-task list and identify your “Important, but not Urgent” domains so that these activities become second nature.
5+ Industry-specific expert workflow demos from our team
Seeing examples of productivity systems in action is one of the best ways to learn. You’ll get an inside look at how members of our team designed and personalized their own productivity systems in Notion so that you never have to build from scratch and can borrow ideas for your own use case. During these live sessions you’ll learn how to build knowledge management databases, meal plans, small business dashboards, and SOPs in Notion. You’ll also discover how to use a daily journal database for habit tracking, accountability, and reflection.
