#NOTION CALENDAR TEMPLATE FREE#
The premise of the concept is to free up your limited mental energy by externalizing all the work you need to do in actionable chunks and ensuring that you do them. GTD refers to Gettings Things Done, a term made popular by David Allen, through his book… well, Getting Things Done. Note: If you’re new to using Notion, consider signing up using my invite code. I was also fortunate enough to visit the startup’s HQ back in March 2019, meet the team, and write a feature article on them that got published in Hackernoon. I have been using the app since Feb 2019, and have grown to consider it my second brain (along with Roam Research). Notion is the name of a startup as well as its product - an all-in-one productivity app that lets you create everything from kanban boards to databases to to-do lists, with a minimalistic, conscious design and excellent user interface. Think of this as another checkpoint in your experimentation journey. If you realize by the end of this article that this isn’t for you, that’s okay.
In this article, I’ll walk you through my custom-built planner and routine in Notion for GTD, share a template you can start using from today, and help you set your routine. Finally, I feel confident enough to say that I found the tool and routine that seems to be working, and working well.
I’ve used diaries, post-its, Trello, OneNote, Notion, and more that I forget now. It’s years of experimentation trying different practices. We all have our superpowers I consider one of mine to be planning & execution (aka getting things done), where I would place myself in the top 5% of the population. You have to try lots of things, follow your intuition, and when something starts working, put all your effort into strengthening that practice. Practices that can be applied by everyone the same way and have the same result. There are very, very few practices that can be called the “gold standard” when it comes to improving one’s productivity. Recently, I was watching an interview by Sam Alman, the CEO of OpenAI and former President of YCombinator, where he touched upon a dozen topics, two of which were “experimentation” and “productivity.” He says, “Try lots of things, let people follow their intuitions, and when something starts working, put a lot more resources behind it.”
