I've been getting a lot of requests to do an updated notion tour,
Because one of my goals this new year was to
tackle the system that wasn't really working out for me.
And just because you set up a notion page, or a bullet journal, or a journal,
It kind of makes you feel like you have your life together,
but if the system isn't customized to you,
and like how you like to work and set up your plans,
it doesn't really help.
You think it's helping but it's not really helping, and I feel like that's how I've been
for a while. I have a page setup, and it was working for a while,
until it didn't and it needed adjustments, as I was getting used to the school life
and I feel like I'm at a good spot right now, where the adjustments have been made where it needed to be,
and I kept some of the elements that really worked for me,
and it's just really customized for my needs.
And I hope that me walking through my notion page will give you guys some inspo,
and give you guys an idea of what you could change and adjust to your notion page to make it more fitting for you.
And I'm really happy to tell you guys that this video is in partnership with Notion,
which I'm so grateful for, because it's truly something that I cannot live without anymore.
First spread that's really important to me is called the weekly agenda,
this is where I spend most of my time planning out my week.
The first thing I have on here is a habit tracker,
I think I added the AM read, clean, and then PM read
because those are my new goals for 2022.
Which I've been pretty good at keeping up with,
but this gives me a visual representation of how I've been doing with my habits.
I have 2 new elements that I added to my weekly spread,
and that is this section called "things I'm looking forward to in this week",
and then upcoming due dates.
So, the things I'm looking forward to this week just keeps me excited for the week,
prevents me from burning out as much, because
I've been making the effort to plan a couple of fun things to do throughout the week.
This week I had a pool day because it was really hot on Wednesday,
I had dinner with a friend, and also a brunch date with a friend.
I have to make plans for this upcoming week,
but those are my fun activities for this week.
upcoming due dates, just a good reminder for myself that I have these coming up.
And then I added a new thing called "archive",
and it's basically I added a new page and named it "archive",
and whenever an item is crossed off,
I just select it and dump it into the archives,
so I don't have to press delete every time, and I can just drag it and get rid of it.
The main part of this page,
I just have it separated into
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
and I added a new section on the top,
so I can add the three most important things to do for the day.
I realized having a big to-do list is a bit too much for me,
and it overwhelms me, so I have my long to-do list,
but then out of all that list, I pick out the three most important ones,
and I add it to the top every day, and I make sure that
all three of those are complete by the end of the day,
and it's just been a really good way for me to get more things done,
Instead of poking at multiple things and not getting anything done.
And at the bottom, I kept this because I tried using this system for a bit,
but it just didn't work out, because I like seeing everything at one page.
This one, you just have to click into it and see
What is on the to-do list, so it didn't really work for me,
But I kept it to show you guys that this is something you could also try.
I have a section called "2022", and this is how I've been keeping up with my
2022 new years resolution.
So I have a section for reading,
and one of the problems I was having with reading was
I spent so much time researching what do I want to read,
and that would take a lot of my time away from actually reading,
so beginning of the year, I actually made myself a list of books that I could read,
so I could just go to this list and pick out a book to read.
And it's been a good system for me.
So I have fictional, essay, poetry, nonfictions, classics, Korean books,
I also have a museum list, this was for when I was in Korea,
I wanted to go to a lot of art exhibitions,
so I had a list of all the available ones that I could go to,
the location, the price,
everything was very well organized.
And then travel plans is how I keep track of my
travel receipts, travel schedule,
I'll throw in all the links in here that's important for the trip,
and then I have three destinations that I really want to go to this year.
Just to kind of manifest.
And then this is also where I keep my ultimate pack list,
which I shared in my last vlog.
I have a section for socials, which is how I plan all of my content
for my different social media platforms.
I have the board feature to keep track of the videos that I should be filming,
the videos that I need to edit, videos to post,
and then once everything is done, I move it into my completed list.
And then I've added a separate calendar for just content,
because if I have a calendar with all of my school stuff,
my personal due dates, my personal events,
the video plans tend to get lost in that big calendar,
so I have a separate one where I can just see my youtube calendar by itself.
And then I have a page for minding my own business,
Instagram account, and this is where I plan a lot of my content as well,
I used to use my phone notes app for a lot of these planning,
But it take a lot of storage in my phone notes,
and also there aren't that many ways to organize my different ideas.
I really like how you can add a calendar, add a checklist,
add a chart all in one page, where I can see it all in one view.
And then I also have a page that's just called "income",
this is where I keep track of all of my sponsorships,
how much I'm getting paid, what content I'm filming for them to get the pay,
and also my expenses for my business.
I used to do this on excel, but having it on Notion is so much easier,
because I can click back and forth
between my brand deal page, and see what's been done,
I can just click into my expense page, and see everything in one view,
I don't have to open multiple tabs like excel, phone notes, notion,
to have the system. Everything is just all on here.
And then I have a page called Chapman,
and this is where I keep up with all of my school stuff.
So I have class notes,
I pretty much transitioned into taking notes on Notion like 100%,
I don't take notes on my iPad anymore, I don't use anything else.
Notion is such a good way to take notes,
and also its really easy to share with friends,
and I've gotten so many of my friends into Notion,
for this purpose, like how easy it is to share notes and collaborate.
I have a page for course schedule,
this is where I dump in all of my due dates and important dates at the beginning of the semester.
Just check off the things that's been done,
and this is a really easy way for me to see what's due soon,
and what lessons are going to be taught soon.
And then I have a page for my final schedule,
and then the last section I have is for my internship,
and I just have a separate to-do list for here.
On the top left, I can click and see everyone that I've shared my Notion page with,
or my work space with.
I have my friend, we share notes all the time together,
I have my manager and this is how we keep track of the future brand deals,
and all the details for that.
And I have a page with my graphic designer,
this is how we keep track of our work together,
how we share the work that's been finished.
And then I have a page with my sister because we've been looking into investing together,
so this is where we share all of our research together,
and keep it all organized.
Thank you guys so much for watching,
I wanted to walk you guys through because there are so many different ways you can use Notion,
and I'm not the type of person to add a bunch of decroative elements to Notion,
I just want it to be straightforward.
I want it to be a system that will work for my lifestyle,
I want it to keep me in track, hold me accountable, and this is what's been working for me.
If you have any additional questions, please let me know in the comments below,
I will try to get to answering all of them in my future videos,
and I will see you in my next vlog.
Bye.
