How you can follow the newsletter from your Notion dashboard


I want to make a little P.S.A in regards to Notion's seemingly endless possibilities. As someone who is constantly spreading myself thin, not due to pure ambition but addiction to planning new projects, Notion can be an enabling space with endless calendars and to-dos. On the other hand, once a user is comfortable enough to understand database etiquette, formulas and sort/filters, a flow of goals and to-dos can turn into an actionable system.
With that being said, actionable systems (or workflows) can get out of hand as well unless limitations are set in place.
My limitation → I can't comfortably implement more than 4 medium tasks every day (or 2 medium, 1 difficult)
Roadblock To Understanding my limitation → My focus threshold is in a constant battle with my ego. I believe that my skills are endless if I just try hard enough. Anything is possible in my dream world. There are no checks and balances, little sense of reality, pure naivety - the downfall of a dominantly creative thinker. If I want to create an empire, I'll figure it out. See me in a week. I'll give you a tour.
No surprise, I'm a 🦁Leo.
Below is a sneak peek into an article I'll be publishing soon about implementing limitations into a to-do table.

Dark Mode Pros and Cons In Notion

I stepped over to the dark side and changed my Notion workspace to Dark Mode. There are more pros than cons for the white text on dark grey, but the cons were holding me back until now.

Pros

  • Looks sick
  • Visual ease
  • For some reason, productivity increases
  • The muted text colors are better

Cons

  • Muted tag colors, not so nice
  • Not as clean
  • Light images look awkward

My Mood This Week

I'm planning to track my mood through the entire year in order to better understand what is making my poor days poor and what I need to do to fix them - hence, the "cause" property.
