I had to learn to stop trying to REMEMBER what’s important and start writing those things down instead. And one of the most important places I do that is in an app called Notion.
In this video, I break down how I use Notion to focus on what matters most in my life, my business, and my creativity.

Ohhh my goodness thank you so much... I love it cannot wait to fill this in 😍 my brain was in overdrive wondering how i was going to create tasks and you both popped up! Thank you💙💕💙💕... Youve made my day whooo🎉😍 thank you xx
FYI this link is kaput :(
this link doesnt work but there is a link in the description fo the video!
@@jonaspipper2701 Fixed the link!
Is it only me or Tiago Forte is Elon Musk on a weight-loss diet?
they share 3 genes (Wikipedia)
Not alone
Yes🤣
dude looks like a "modelling" version of EM
DEFINITELY not only you 😂
We need to see more of Lauren! Her presentation and energy is incredible. She looks and sounds super pro on camera.
Tiago seems driven on grabbing attention by INTELLIGENCE AND VALUE CONTENT and Lauren SCREAMS
Yes more Lauren! And baby possibly! :)
Honestly the "home managment section" is a brilliant idea! I will definitely start one for my household.
Loved seeing Lauren in the video, clear explanations and now I'm motivated to update my notion home pages
This is just wonderful. Part 3 in particular where you've shown how one can systematically execute on ideas and simultaneously be flexible enough to select which piece to work on is a master stroke of genius, it really mitigates what is otherwise a very stress inducing dilemma for me. It's not something I've considered before, a million thank yous Tiago!
Tiago, I'm new to discovering your material, however I'd like to compliment you in your presentation style, your calm, clear, appropriatness in how you speak and share - it projects space, the ease and confidence in your own workflow (which is clear here), and how your face brightens when you discuss home or family and of course carrying your child in this video. Very inspirational as all inspirational Teachers are - they embody what they teach so even in simple gestures, it is projected and via that special type of osmosis shared - Gratitude for your sharing 🙏
Production value is on another level. Kudos to the team!
Kevin Shen doing WORK
I had that exact thought just 20 seconds into the video!!
As someone who is self employed and the sole owner of my home - part two was extremely helpful. At one point I used Evernote for some of this info but you and your lovely wife have really got a fantastic resource happening.
I love the way you explain everything slowly and confidently since I don't speak and understand English so much. I personally use Notion for my personal life, college, and work. I can use Notion to store everything I need in my life without feeling overwhelmed by the database feature. In fact, the database I've built is kinda complicated to operate. Thanks for explaining this app for me. I definitely gonna watch more videos from you.
This is such a great video! I've only been using Notion for the past 3 months, and already, I feel more organised and crucially, less stressed about my workflow. I real game changer!
More content please! 👍
Thanks for this. The part towards the end about things stalling and how you handle that mentally hit home with me. I'm just starting my second brain journey after ages of taking and collecting millions of notes, but only intermittently completing the projects. Looking forward to trusting the process and seeing where it leads me. Cheers -
New studio is looking badass. Well done on that project, worth it! Looking forward to more content soon!
Originally being from a smaller town in New Jersey, it always weird hearing recognizable people live so close. I have probably watched a billion second brain videos realizing that the basically mostly stem from you. Glad I landed here and looking forward to continuing to learn.
I’d heard of BASB and would catch a stray tweet of yours here and there, but this is my first time actually watching a video of yours. I love how level-headed and information-focused you are!
I’d pushed off the kaban board for my creative work for a while, but I’ll go ahead and make one right now.
The most incredible thing from this video is the fact the previous owners gave you that massive stack of files. So lucky I would've loved to have that when I got my house. I think I'll do that for whomever owns this house next
U seriously need more subscribers. I don't say that lightly; your quality is nearing the levels of Matt D'Avella, which is insane!
@@TiagoForte np, you deserve it!
Tiago, I just started reading your Building A Second Brain today and watched Ali Abdaal's breakdown on the 10 concepts. Ali's video is outstanding. It's all making sense. DEEP gratitude for all that you do Tiago and for having created these materials for people to have!! I'm not a very anxious person, but in the times I have experienced it, it stems from the overwhelm on how to keep up with information overload in our day and age that is not going to slow down. Since discovering your method, I am feeling PROFOUND RELIEF to discover ways to manage not only information relating to my work, but information relating to what you say in the book PKM Personal knowledge Management. Deep deep gratitude for all that you are and create in the world.
I just wanna add that Kanban is not just for tracking the progress of an item across multiple stages, but crucially for spotting and improving bottlenecks in a process.
If you aren't trying to optimize a process, then Kanban is a nice way to get an overview of everything and the stage it is and that's fine if that's what you use it for. I think for creative work items like blog posts that just one person is working on that makes sense.
But theres a an extra layer of information and usefulness that you can get out of it if you are trying to iterate on and improve the process of moving items from left to right.
Super validating to hear that running a house as complicated as running a business.. i feel that!
Great, clear presentation. I came to it off of the Forte labs website, and thus having read the intro material on P.A.R.A.. At this stage of my life (retired, a leadership position with a volunteer emergency preparedness team, extended family in the area, an avid sailor, a Wisdom student/facilitator) I am more a librarian with a student approach to new topics. After reading the PARA material, I instantly gravitated towards both Apple Notes for projects and Evernote, and that was before seeing this video.
Found Part 2 about organizing the household very interesting. Great work 👏
First I clicked this video thinking Elon Musk too uses Notion and later I got to know that it's Tiago!! 🕺
Thank you! Excited for the next cohort starting April 12!
Very cool to see more on RUclips from you Tiago, great video!
Love to see power couples that work so well together. Keep up the great work team. I just picked up Ultimate Brain and Content Creator's Bundle from Frank Thomas, and learned about your work. Excited to implement the PARA Method into our organization.
Do not underestimate the women who need help organizing home life. Your house organization was superb info. Thank you!
Until now I've been doing mostly to do lists. Writing new ones often, especially when different projects I do (academic, work, random ones) are at different stages. This is such an efficient system and I am so excited to try this out! Thank you so much for this!
Home management and kanban creativity process are genius!
Tiago thank you Part3 is brilliant! I haven't watched parts1 & 2 though. I use Notion for my meal planning
A very useful video for everyone diagnosed with ADHD
Oh my gosh; I subscribed JUST be cause your voice is sooooooo soothing and nice to listen too!
We use the SOP model in all levels of the military
Thank you for this video. It’s given me a lot of ideas and help towards my creativity.
This is super, you've really inspired us to get our gear up - super look!
Francesco :)
Love the home maintenance databases, will definitely be using that
So so good.
I love this content on Notion--I've tried it a number of times and have always felt overwhelmed by it's capabilities while not seeing its practical advantages over Evernote. I appreciate these outlines of the app's daily use as a second brain, as well as the video quality, which really helps me to stay focused on the content, integrating it more readily.
Thanks to Tiago, Lauren, and the production crew you for all of your hard work!
🙏 A friend of mine loves to say "Simplify :: Amplify"
@@TiagoForte dejaste de usar evernote ?
Love this topic of using Notion in a household!
Lauren is so creative, smart and cute! I loved her segment
This was so helpful! I manage our rental property for the homeowner, and it can be overwhelming to keep track of everything. Would love a copy of this template if possible! 😉 Thanks for making great content, Tiago
Excited for the book! Preordered on day 1
Thank you for putting in the time and effort in making this video.
Best Regards,
WOW...love the home manual information
I loved this video,
I gained a lot of valuable information from this video !!
Thank you
Thanks alot for this video Tiago. So good
Your investment into the team, studio, and equipment was definitely worth it - the video and audio quality are amazing. You definitely have the potential to reach huge audiences. Have you thought about doing shorter video bites for TikTok?
Thank you verry much! Cant wait for your book
How in the WORLD do you only have 30.5k subs? Your content is worth so much more than what the RUclips algorithm thinks, in my opinion.
Thank you!
We only really cranked up the effort 2 months ago, we'll get there 😉
Every time I've moved the previous tenant provided me with a binder containing colour pallets, recommended furniture locations and pet suggestions. It was so hard to remember. Thank you.
I hope everyone sees that the reason Tiago can be so creative is because Lauren is so organized. Looks like Lauren is the second brain here.
Starting my own notion page!
Helpful video of how you use Notion as second brain. It's a powerful app for sure.
Found the second segment super interesting - even though is hard to keep that up-to-date. How would you make sure to run the procedures that happen every 1-5 years? Notion reminders, calendar events (duplication of course) or something like a "yearly review" catches those?
That's what I was wondering. I have tasks in my task manager that go forward as far as 2035.
This was super interesting. I like the team perspective and the family one too!! Thank you for sharing! Do you have a notion for your family and one for your team? How do you split the two?
I just started the journey to improve my productivity and I'm so happy that I found your video, you have a new Subscriber.
Is my first time with Notion and I was wondering where can I get the "Home Operation Manual" template; also are you considering to translate your book in Spanish or Italian?
Thank you!
excellent level of production and presentation of information, I really enjoyed getting to know the topic 👍
Thank you!
This is interesting, been trying do document all my DIY projects and interior setups in JavaScript for quite some time myself.
Appreciate that. Thank you
Excelente vídeo Tiago!
LOVE this new studio and production!!! Music is a tad too loud but other than that I really enjoy the video :D
@@TiagoForte Hi Tiago! I felt like it's a bit too loud at the beginning of the video (up until .30 mark) and it was a bit hard to hear you. Please take this with a grain of salt though. It could just be me ☺ I really love this new production vibe that's very friendly and warm. Your big fan from Thailand 🇹🇭 ✌🏻
Elon Musk is good productivity guru!, You should try obsidian for note taking. & Notion Only for project management.
This is incredible.
Could you make a video on how you use Notion for blog posts writing? I love the kanban process that you shared in this video. But would love to see a deeper dive into that. Do you include all your research findings in the notion cards during the research phase? Thanks!
Thanks, Tiago and Lauren! Was wondering for years how I might get my wife involved in the home management. These questions come up all the time. I am a Notion user, any chance you might share the Notion database? Keep sharing more practical applications of the 2nd brain. Great stuff!!!
Actually we are thinking of leading a workshop for helping people build the home management system in Notion.
@@laurenvaldez4has this been created yet? I’ve been looking for something similar
Soo good! Keep up 👏🏻👏🏻
Airlines (Not specifically Airline Crew) but operations will use exactly this format to manage tasks. All good companies will set up SOPs to manage tasks
Loving these videos! Do you write long form in Notion now too?
Great video! I would love to see how you apply your framework to Team Project Management. Now that you have a team a people, I'd be interested in learning more how you manage your team's work.
What an impressive video
Great!
Thank you for such a helpful video. Can you please advise which monitor are you using in this video?
Thanks 👍
this video is great. it is very useful for my life. As I was born 2nd
Tiago we need more Lauren please! She's fantastic.
Is there a working link for the productivity quiz? I got a "Page not found" error on mobile and desktop. Also, the link for the 5 week course goes to a landing page to pre-order the book (which I've already done). Love these systems! Super helpful.
New 2024 goal for myself: up my notion game
Do you have a video anywhere about your desk setup? What monitor are you using to hook your MacBook Pro up to? Thank you.
Very well!
It’s 2/19/2022 and right now the book isn’t available, and the course is also not available. The link to the course returns a 404 error.
Can we get access to the course recordings somehow?
Nobody: Elon Musk on side quests
Great content💥 👍
Thanks for a great video, the keyboard you use is a regular apple keyboard or something different? Can you please share?
How do you tie in the blog post kanban into a general PARA setup for the business side in notion? I assume there is a master PARA database with the four categories. Is ‘Blog’ an area with a separate related table inside to the master data table where only projects are shown, with a separate tag on top to track the progress?
@tiago SOP and Part-2(HOM) go under Area or Resources in the PARA method?
great video
while watching this video I couldn't help thinking that any personal/team management app like for instance Asana is light years ahead as regards these types of tasks because it is specifically designed for tasks and productivity and collaboration rather than Notion which is essentially a note taking app after all; frankly I was thinking of switching to Notion for task management to have both notes and tasks in one app but now I see Notion is just not up to this job yet
Just came across this video and love the home operating dashboard! Do you have this as a template for download?
very cool
Tiago! Thanks for this overview. I'm a 2nd brain alum and it was the most life changing courses I've ever taken. I've been thinking about how I can use Notion for SOPs so this video is very timely.
When I took BASB, you were very bullish about Evernote.
I'm wondering how you distinguish between what goes into Evernote and what goes into Notion based on the actions required for what you're saving?
And one of the biggest pieces I think I am still struggling with is a task manager. i.e. Task management in Evernote is still very new and doesn't have great team capability. What are you using for actual task assignments for your team members (Asana, Clickup, Monday...) and how does it connect with Notion/Evernote if it's something different?
Hello Tiago, Please help me in understanding "meeting" notes, which folder it is supposed to be ? . Is it in AREAS or PROJECTS ? I am working on a particular PROJECT eg: Building a software , which is in my PROJECT folder. And i have regular weekly team meetings on it , so i keep my "meeting notes" inside the PROJECT folder. But "meetings" is a on-going thing as well which is supposed to be in AREAS folder. I am very confused on this. Do i need to duplicate meeting notes in both PROJECT and AREAS ? Please share your thoughts . Thanks !
For the house manager e.g. cleaning x every 2 years - does it remind you to do this or would you only know by going into it?
Thanks Elon....I mean Tiago, great video ;)
@TiagoForte I know you also use Evernote a lot. Do you have a video explaining the differences in use and how you combine them together? It seems there might be a quite a bit of overlap in content? Do you perhaps sync the content between these two apps?
I had tried all the productivity tools and system, but nothing stuck with me!I had tried to do list,calendar, note taking, goal setting,habits ,GTD,pomodoro,Evernote,Notion,Asana,Keep,Mindmapping,OneNote,Excel, Word and on and on.I read so many books from Atomic Habits, GTD,Goals by Brian Tracy, you name it.Can you give an advice on this issue? Thanks
i love simplicity. i brain dump on my google note and have tasks on my google calender. i have all on my phone screen. but! i think it's time for notion. i just don't know how to start with the app it's pretty overwhelming for someone who's so used to super simplicity.
Hello @TiagoForte,
great video! Thank you for the ideas and suggestions!
I'm also working with your PARA method and sometimes reach limits where I'm not sure how to continue.
For example, I have the Area Haus for my own house. And I have an area for insurance. Now if I have insurance that affects my home, how do I best classify or allocate it? To both?
I'm generally not sure about the structure either. If I have the Cats area, there is also the Cat Breeders area. Is this then a resource that is part of the Area Katzen? I love structure and order, but I'm sometimes insecure and lost here. Do you have that too? Can you perhaps make a video about your organization and structure in which you go through it in detail with examples? At best in Notion.
Looks great Question I want to set up for myself and my wife to use and have access do I need the Notion Plus level or will the free work?
How do you get five groups when organizing by status? I have three groups and there is no option to add another group, I just have not started, in progress & done, unable to change the names of the groups either. Any help would be appreciated!

I love notion but it doesn't have a full offline mode. Do you think this hurts the usability of the app?
