All service-based business owners, freelancers, and social media managers know that there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes before you present your deliverables. Without a system, it can quickly get overwhelming. There are recurring tasks, one-off tasks, internal reminders, varying due dates, follow-ups, delegation, and more. Further complicating this is the fact that each task segment needs to be split and organized into different clients.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably tried every productivity tool in the books. From Asana and Trello to TeuxDeux and beyond, nothing seemed up to the task. That was until I met Notion. In this article, I’m going to give you the beginner’s guide to Notion: how to use Notion, how to customize your dashboards, and how to make it everything you ever hoped for in your life and business.
