Hello everyone, welcome back to the Keep productive YouTube channel on today's feature. I'll actually passing over to
Alexandro Theodorou, who is a student
But he also does videos about productivity tools like notion it now today
He's actually gonna be touring around his notion account how he uses it for school for planning videos
But also as a way to keep himself more productive across this day
He talks about resonance calendars and a few other techniques like that. Now I think will be beneficial
So do make sure to follow him after this video, but he's very kindly creative on for us today
So I will pass it over to Alexandro and thank you very much everyone for watching today's video
Hey guys today I'm going to be sharing with you my notion tour how our user to organize it and parts of my life
So massive, thank you to Francesco at the key proactive channel for having me on here. I'm really excited to share this with you
I think you'll find it really interesting
It's pretty crazy to think about how only maybe ten months ago when I got started in motion how I was watching all the videos
On the keep productive Channel about motion how to use it learning different things implementing different parts
And now I'm one here in showing you my tour and I think you'll find it very useful
I think when you're building motion, it's really it could really look really difficult. And you might look like there's so much to it
But slowly building over time and implementing different parts that you see from different people can really help you
So that's the job into the computer and I'm gonna show you my talk
I hope you enjoy so we're gonna start with the resonance calendar and this resonance counter
it's an idea that I've seen from ali abdul and
He made a template on it now. So that's on a notional website that you can download
but
Essentially this is that you get content that resonates for you and you store it in a way that you can access it again. I
Think I have over a hundred pieces of content in here. Yeah
I saw it in his email newsletter and then he later made a template so you can download that also when you are
reading blog posts and saving them into notion you can use them as an extension in google run and it automatically
Copy the title put a link in here
And it will copy the whole blog post out
you can also like
when you can convince an ocean and you can go like and then you could write some notes to write notes and
Then you could write few notes on it also here
You can see I just put my name because I brought it everything down on the schedule. I sort of think that I
Wrote down the information or watch the piece of content and then tags is my voice box or have a Productivity
my blog post is a blog post and like
Koala creation. It's the live stream podcast interview living a better life starts like a sovereign brutal stuff
Of course about digital marketing content creation
News let's are asked if I was ready we're ready for news. That's our business staff
Interview yeah
basketball
Pretty much just making tags and you can just luck going to some link and create hike here
So you can see all the tags I've made here and you could just create you just type. I'll take it typing anyone
I don't if you have one called fitness or something. I
Should actually have one courtliness. There we go
Right. Yeah, okay next willing all into UVA which is University of East Anglia
this is where I start or where I'm standing at the moment and
What I have in here is a central hub for different information for school. I started off taking notes in the Google Drive and then
making links
In motion towards Google Drive to open
My notes, but I later realized that
This isn't the best way for me to make plans for school
and I realize that OneNote works like 10 times better because I gonna have I
can have all my
Modules and then I can have inside one module and all dunwood rules
lectures seminars and in the lectures have lecture notes and I can insert printouts of the slides so I gonna have the slides and I
Can run notes from class and it's so much easier
So much more organized. So that's what I've done went forward like the first week
I made links as you can see here
but after that
I was like OneNote I've seen that people using it but watch some videos on it on YouTube was like this is like a
Much better way to make notes for school
also within this I have like general information and I have
Extracurricular stuff so that's like societies and sport into my studying effectively
Section because they have all the most I made upon how to study effectively which is basically essentially activerecord special petition is the most effective
Way to study there's loads of information out on there on YouTube on the internet about studying effective week. So that was one of the
Most best best things I've done before like studied the studying for exams in before I levels. It's actually learning. Okay
I know how to actually study effectively so I could get better grades. So yeah is what I put information all in there actually
Before I carry on when I was showing you my UVA stuff I had in my archive the stuff I used
in a levels
So for the last last year when I was studying edibles for the last two years, but it's like a new notion last year
So the last year with a levels?
in here, I
Used this as specification. So what I would have in here is general information or which was like general stuff for school. Just
Any information about harmonica need need to save for then there and then in within this cuz what I did I had all my notes
From classes written by hand in on paper and then put in
Folders, but I in notional I had a list of the specification so when it comes to studying I can have a look at all
The topics here. So these are all the topics for philosophy and then I can open up
one topic and see all the different parts that I need to
memorize for the exam so then when it comes to studying
Open my Google Drive where where I make all my notes and I use Quizlet to revise
By doing flashcards, that's essentially what I did
I had all these little topics one of you will spreadsheet as well so I could have red
Amber green for what? I've started revised who I haven't revised them. I have revised so I could see that I have one section for
notes one section for
flashcards and then like each time
I study it I could use this retrospective revision timetable idea to track how well you actively record a something
After you studied it ideas is just where I have
Ideas for like business business ideas or ideas for anything in life, maybe online course ideas. Just any way is that
Might be money related model not be making money related
but
any idea that I've just go in there except if it's a YouTube idea or a really idea that will go into videos which will
look at now so in videos, this is all the videos that
For my channel, so I have no stasis which is like ideas
I've just had my dear and to write it down and that's basically where it is at the moment
Then we have next on the agenda research scripting and so I can just drive
Pieces across so once that script is on though. It's a review and
My mechanist move all pieces across so then after scripting we have a review and then we have filming for this video here
It's in the filming process and then we have a roll so technically filming an arrow at the moment
So I drop that over there and then we have B role which is fridge that goes on top of the a role
So like if I was talking about I know
Tapping my laptop. I could have beer all over that ultimately typing on my laptop instead of you
Just you just set up meters telling you I'm talking about that top
final review scheduled and then published that's pretty much it if we have actually a look into
the video that I've made so we're going to here I
Made this using the Thomas Frank video tracker template
I'll show you my template section and now actually so in here I
Have two templates that I've used to create stuff. So the video project track for youtubers, which just say they're very similar to my videos
Page and the residents calendar. I don't use the
Same play for this because I made it before the template came out
So I just copied from the screenshot that was in the newsletter, but I read
if you go back into videos, yes, so we have
Title ideas keywords when I'm editing lies go through the checklist
So it's like a cuts then be well stage won't be Ross stage two
Then I create another page here for the b-roll shot list because in my beautiful drawings here
So we can see here in the template
It's the same heading generally similar to this but research a note so that's not brain. Dancing going here. Yeah, you can go and
Script, so who is scripting the video?
You scrape up your video here. I tend to script out a lot videos. There's also different views
I only tend to use this view here
But there is like a table view where you can have a long list. I really think
there's
A kind of view which you see things like date
go and now if we jump into
The rest of my content slash brand but this is essentially the main hub that I use motion for. This is having a
task management
Organization for all the content accurate so we go in here
Who got the writing idea creation? I can see here that okay
Here's a newsletter, but I've written and I've sent out and then maybe I'll develop this into a video and it may be
Okay, maybe after that. I'm like, I'm going to a blog post as well. I'm working on putting up a website at some point
So so the to this building a second brain it first started off as an idea
Then it and then it went into okay, then I wrote it now
I put our into a new czar and then I also made a video about it re creating content into different platforms because
everyone consumes content in different ways and I
remember reading somewhere that actually it takes about seven times of hearing the same thing before they actually click through you and you actually
Do something with it. So even if we're recreating custom that we were really created in a different way
It's still valuable and useful if we're going to news that's up. We can see this. Is that my email newsletter?
We can see here. This is my latest issue that I sent out yesterday
Yeah, yeah, I write things about productivity building habits all that kind of stuff in this one
You can see that I've talked about from uni enough for a month
After my first semester
and I have come up with and I shared a
Productivity tip that really helped me which was actually that okay. I don't study the best in my bedroom
I study much better when I actually go to the library because it's so much more easier to get focused
So that was the tip that I shared this week
Take talk ideas. So yeah, just thinking about this new platform called tickle
I'm sure that you've heard of which you can get a lot of use on very quickly
And so there's some ideas that come up with and this is the how to make 64 pieces of content a day
This is a Gary Vaynerchuk
deck also have a
Gary Vee page here where to have some
Pieces that are really really resonated with me or that some I wanted to say so here we have okay
Work hard. Be patient something. I really think that is really important
Jab jab right hook is like give give give ask your country notes. So these are ideas
Film making notes and ways to make money with creating videos. So we're going to film making notes where the majority wants my fears
it's all about it's like I said, this is my second brain for
Filmmaking stuff so stuff that I've just watched
Videos on or read blog post one and then make notes on it so I can always go back to it
I forget how to do something walls to have my photography lights in here
Which have motors or photography I've made
Journaling this where I have my journal entries of things. I've just written down that been on my mind
I think Tim Ferriss calls it like monkey mind diary or journal where you just write down
your thoughts and thanks for your mind all that when you wake up is something I
as you can see from the city of November I've tried to
Write it you know book and said because I feel like
It's much better. I don't wanna look at the screen like my first thing in the morning
So like at least give like they met an hour before you look at your screen
So that's why I prefer to write it in a book helps in sports or I have like gym stuffing here basketball stuff
Like recipes I've written down
Basically, yeah
Chores how to do the washing so if I was anything I didn't know before over here now on how to do that
There you go. Look and I was having me put anything in there yet
Personal just like personal stuff. I'm 10 for finger tracking. This is like
Ted four fingers calm I think it is is where
You for one minute
You just type what it says on the screen and then it told you what your average was over a minute
So I'm hoping to hopefully get my words up per minute. So maybe like 100, that would be pretty cool here
I'm taking apps I just have a list of different I'm taking up. So motion is like my task management app
Evernote is like I use that mostly for
Scannable stuff back and some second brain stuff OneNote. That is all for
School notes Google Doc a lot of stuff is in there and then bear I haven't really used
Carry, v. I showed you just folder template that show you that and I showed it up as well. So
Um that is everything for my notion tour. Oh you got some key takeaways from that way
You can add into your own notion
You can see that I use it mainly as a task management some second brain stuff, but there you go
I hope you find it really useful
I think really notion is about
Seeing different people's systems and seeing what works for them and how you can implement that into your own life
That's exactly what I've done consuming
lots of content around notion by lots of different creators and seeing what they've done how I can use it for how I
Need it in my life. So thanks a lot for watching a big
