My 2020 Setup in Notion
If you know me, even in the slightest, you’re probably aware of just how much I love the note-taking tool Notion, likely because I talk about it far too often. I’ve used it to track each and every day of my life for the past three years; positive events, negative events, exercise, daily goals, caffeine, alcohol, and more. It’s all there. At this point, Notion really is like my second brain.
But for as much as I love the tool and those talented folks behind it, admittedly, one of the trickiest things about it is how difficult it can be to, well, get started. When I first signed up, it seemed easy. “Oh, you can have pages within pages? That makes sense!”, but it wasn’t long before I began to see several setups from others online and realized just how different any one person’s Notion space can look and function. What seemed so open and free at first very quickly felt a little too open and free, and well, somewhat daunting.
My hope in writing and sharing this post is to show how I chose to set my workspace up, the thinking and tinkering behind it all, and to help anyone get started on creating a space that feels like a tiny, familiar digital garden or home. 🌻
Already using Notion? I’d love to see how you’ve chosen to create your space! 👋 Say hi!
