⏰ My time tracker...

I have had clients who wanted me to track time with Harvest, Assana, Toggl or Resuce Time. All while also being guilty of tracking my time on random post-it notes.

The secret to next-level productivity? Notion + these 9 databases. 🤯

Most people underestimate how much a simple system can transform their workflow.

Which one would instantly change your game?

Me when Notion drops a new feature: 🤯 This is it. My entire workflow is about to be unstoppable.

My friend: Cool. Anyway… 😐

Notion users be like:

🔹 "Of course! It’s easy!"
🔹 "Yeah… totally… I think?"
🔹 "Wait, what???"
🔹 "Nope. Not doing this."

Which one are you? Be honest! 😂

Anxiously waiting for Alfred to land in #Brisbane. So of course, I'm making a @notion.com template while everything we've done is fresh on my mind 🤣

Friends who've been in a cyclone or similar natural disaster, what's on your to-do list?

I just finished a new @notion.com template and I'm experimenting with posting the instructions/demo videos on YouTube.

This is all part of my year's motto of doing things even when they're not perfect. There's no fancy editing happening here!

You can see the demo right here 👇

Did you know that a few minutes into using a new @notion.com template, you'll get a little pop-up asking you for reviews?

Putting this out there for anyone who needs it right now:

👉 Tell me how I can help you

There are a few things I can’t do, like:

🎨 Face painting tips and tricks (that’s my daughter’s expertise)

Anything else, especially @notion.com stuff, just ask. I’d love to see if I can help.

I've been busy with Brisbane's Notion Meetup, some research, and the usual craziness of life, but....

I just spent 3 hours with cool music on building a new Notion template and it feels so good to be making something (instead of just fixing things or replying to emails!)

The planning for Brisbane's first Notion meetup is coming together.

I've got too many ideas.

Instead of being overwhelmed, I took a minute to write them all down in my workspace. And I'm calm again.

THIS ➡️ Getting things out of my head, is why @notion.com helps with my mental health so much.

Random #Notion trick I figured out today:

When putting a recurring task in "on hold" status, you can choose to use a formula to edit the date, and leave that formula empty so t clears the date.

The task still lives in the database but doesn't show in my calendar view.

Hey hashtag #Brisbane folks,

🗓️ Everything has fallen into place and we now have a date, a topic and a venue for our first #Notion meetup!

Date: March 3, 2025, 5:30 pm to 7 pm
Place: Launch Event Space, The Precinct, Fortitude Valley

Registration needed 👇

This week's newsletter (Spells for System, a weekly digest of @notion.com content) is a bit later than usual not because something happened to make it so, but because there was sooooooo much content to go through. You'll need to set time aside to go through it all!

If you find your Notion workspace feels like a big mess are you guilty of this 👇

I’m thinking about running a live workshop where I help you take your crazy to-do list, sort it into projects and tasks, and then show you how it can all get prioritised with Notion (à la Eseinhower matrix).

The return to school means my day looks a bit like this:

1) tackle a work task
2) sign-up big kid to gymnastics
3) another work thing
4) schedule make-up swim lessons
5) try to empty my work inbox
6) buy that things from the school list I totally forgot about

and so on..

how's your day going?

Ready for story time? Here it goes...

In 2023, I decided to leave the world of #UXwriting behind to find a new challenge.

While I loved being a UX writer, I realised I loved organising copy more than doing the research of writing it.

And yeah, spending time in a spreadsheet was my happy place 🤪

Hey #Brisbane folks! I'm looking for a good place to host a @notion.com meetup (for fun, for free).

I've lived here for 4 years, but only know good parks to makes my kids run wild while I have a chat with friends. I need something a bit more professional.

Any ideas?
January 28, 2025 at 3:03 AM
Back to school (for my kids) means back to work (for me).

But it still feels so much like the summer holidays, it's hard to make the switch.

Any tips to get back into a work groove?

Messy bun, glasses on, this is how I look most days!

I had a lot of fun making my own @notion.com face.

Have you tried it?

Trying to get back into work mode when the kids still have 3 more weeks of summer holidays is such a strange mood.

On the one hand, I have so much to do. On the other hand, do I really need to do it all?
