Starve your distractions and feed your focus.
It’s so easy to become distracted nowadays
and if you're not consciously
trying to avoid the distractions,
they'll consume your time and energy
without you even realizing it.
In this video,
I'll share with you three Notion
productivity planners,
which you can use each day, week and month
in order to consciously steer
your life in accordance with your goals.
You'll be able to find these
three productivity planners
as the first link in the description.
Now let's get started with the first one
being the Daily Planner.
At the top of the Daily Planner,
you have the date section
where you can just add @today
in order to add today's date.
And then on the left, you have your daily schedule
where you can plan and time block your day ahead
so you know what needs to get done and when.
Then underneath
you have a section
where you can add everything
you want to do today
with a checkbox that you can check off
to get that sweet dopamine hit.
And if you want to add more tasks,
then simply click the button at the bottom.
Then on the right, you can add
your daily intention,
allowing you to consciously decide
how you want your day to go.
You can write down
three affirmations
which will help you get rid
of any self-limiting beliefs.
You can add three things you're grateful for,
which is super important
because if you're not grateful for what you have,
what makes you think you will be with more?
And then you can also write down
three things that would make the day great
so you know what
you want to get out of the day.
And then next you have an area
where you can add the book
that you're currently reading
because everybody should be reading,
learning and acquiring new knowledge every single day.
And then at the bottom,
you have a section where you can add the habits
that you're currently trying to develop
as it's ultimately
your habits that's going to get you from point
A to point B.
And then lastly, we have a section
for reflecting back on the day itself
as reflecting on what you've learned
is an important part of the process.
Now let's move on to the weekly planner.
For this one, once again we have the date section at the top
where you can mention today's date,
and then underneath we have a weekly schedule
where you can plan your week ahead and write down
any important tasks, events, meetings or appointments
that you got coming up.
Then on the right,
you can add your weekly intention,
the goal for the book that you're currently reading.
Your weekly goals that you want to achieve
and then also your weekly tasks
that you need to do in order to achieve your goals.
At the bottom of the weekly planner,
you have a section to write down everything
you're proud of accomplishing this week.
A section
for all the areas that you need
to improve upon for the following week.
And then also a section
for reflecting back on the week itself.
Now, moving on to the third
and final productivity planner,
we have the monthly planner.
Inside of this one again, we have the date section at the top
where we can mention today.
And then you also have a week one,
two, three and four where you can list out
what you'll be focusing on for each week
so you can take a proactive approach
for the month
ahead and decide up front
where you're going to focus your attention and energy.
And then underneath,
we also have the same to do list
as the other planners.
Inside of this one you can set your monthly intention
as well as three monthly goals
for your health, wealth,
relationships and spirituality.
And then you can also write down
and reinforce your main yearly goals for each of them.
Then at the bottom,
you can write down your monthly
achievements, the areas
you need to improve upon
for the following month,
as well as a section
for reflecting back on the month itself.
When you duplicate this template,
you'll see
you have a section containing three guides
for the three planners
describing what everything is for,
how to use it, and with some examples.
Then you have your three productivity planners
each with a button
that will load a new version of that planner
and an archive page
where you can drop the planner into when you're done.
There's also a calendar
which has these three planner as template buttons
so you can simply add a new day
and click on the daily planner,
create a new weekly planner
and extend it throughout the week
and do the same with the monthly planner
and extend it throughout the whole month.
You can also turn on the recurring template feature
for the Daily Planner,
so it will automatically add
a new daily planner each day at a specific time.
And in order to do this
simply click on the menu button
next to the template button, click on repeat daily,
choose the start date
and the time you want to duplicate it,
and then just click save.
You can also do this
with a weekly and monthly planners.
We just have to make sure
to choose the weekly or monthly option
when setting up the recurring template button.
Now, if you want to add these to a place on dashboard,
then simply move the callout boxes into your dashboard.
And as for the calendar,
you want to go to your personal calendar,
open up the database menu
and change the source to the productivity calendar.
If you don't have the source option,
it means that you're using an original database
and you need to create a linked view.
So for example, here I have my original task database
which doesn't have a source option,
and if I copy the link and paste it as a linked view,
I can go into the database menu
and now find the source option.
So all you want to do is just simply create
a new view on your calendar
and change the source option
to the productivity calendar database.
And that's pretty much it.
