Running 2 startups, plus composing for commercial and just made my first short film. It has been a nightmare organizing all these macro projects. This whole system has upped my productivity and organization in dramatic fashion. So grateful for your work, it’s inspiring and just WORKS man! Thank u!
Ah my friend - so great to read! This is the kind of impact I spend time making these for! Thanks for the feedback and enjoy the template and the new organisation I hope you find that is right for you in Notion!
Will you upgrade Notion Life OS soon in April 2024, right? If I buy it now, can I get that upgrade or should I waiting? Your template so impressive to me!! Great jobs!!!
Hello! Love the content, I’m a Notion newbie, and binge watching your channel to get started. I wanted to ask if you were gonna drop an updated financial tracker template to implement the new features and simplified version for notion?
@@BetterCreating would there be a timeline that you could share of when you would post it? I was thinking of following your old video or downloading the template but if a new updated one is coming soon maybe it’s worth the wait?
It would make sense to add an Areas Database if you wanted to with filtered views within them, but wanted to keep this template as simple as possible. So yes, can also use projects as areas or even create a self referencing relation in the project database and create two templates project or area. :)
Ah yes; check out my desk tech vids for more on my kit - but those are the Lofree Flow and an arc 2 mouse on AROLL, and a Keychron Q1 and Logitech Lift Mouse on my white desk :)
my biggest issue is that u cant handwrite notes with the apple pencil like u can in apple notes😭 i wanna use notion for all productivity n school but i hope they add that somehow
Perhaps I missed it, but do you have tags based on the content of the notes/articles you log? For example, if Person A is in a note from 2019 and you find an article that calls that person out in 2024, is there any linkage to flag that you had a journal entry at some point? This could be place names, things, other key reference points that might not hold signifigance at the time of being recorded, but could provide some interesting insight at a later date.
Yes indeed: it can simply be a tag system. One can also connect other database relations if you wanted to link notes/articles to other things linked projects / contacts etc etc. many ways to categorise and link to areas of focus. :)

This is a super helpful video, thanks - as always- Simon!
Great stuff; thanks - should have everything needed now to make Simplified OS rock!
Would you drag the items from Readwise into the notes database?

Thanks So much! Yes, a new Financial tracker is indeed in the pipeline soon! :)

Would you consider areas of life as projects? I just purchased the template and need to review the guide but thought I’d ask here too.

How does this Notes & Clippings differ from the Knowledge database?
Hi, what mouse and keyboard are you using in this clip?
Ah yes; check out my desk tech vids for more on my kit - but those are the Lofree Flow and an arc 2 mouse on AROLL, and a Keychron Q1 and Logitech Lift Mouse on my white desk :)

I agree - I hope notion supports a drawing block at some point!
How can I sync Readwise highlights into this Notes database?
