i mostly see people using the inbuilt “not started” “in progress” and “completed” tags but as someone who is the complete opposite of a perfectionist i really needed that “close enough xddd” tag
i really want to make the layout more cohesive but this is the only way it can look normal on both a computer and an ipad
also wish they gave us the power to put pictures next to databases alreadyyyyy
day 1 of @studywitharmy’s 10 day study challenge: what self care did you practice today?
Today I worked on cleaning off my desk and sorting out my pencil case! I also washed my face really well first thing in the morning and let myself sleep in 2 hours later than usual after I stayed up pretty late last night. Sometimes, one has to compensate!! Hope you loves are having a great day :)
setting up my notion for the school this year!! how do y'all use notion, if at all? i’d highly recommend it, but sometimes crossing off objects on paper is still more satisfying? hoping to create something to track my independent studies if y'all have any ideas. cheers! – august
a lot of you have asked how I actually use notion in my day to day life, so I’ve broken down my task manager for all of you! hope this helps :) happy notion-ing!
To start off, we have my today page, which is essentially my home base on Notion. This is where I have my routines as drop-down toggles links to my class pages and goals, and I also have a linked database where I plan out when I’ll do all my tasks. If I click on the list it takes me to the page with all of my planned out to-do’s, but when I’m on my Today page it only shows me the tasks that I’ve set for that particular day so I know exactly what I need to get done. It sounds slightly complicated but once it’s set up it’s such a breeze to use and I don’t know what I’d do without it tbh! I’ve been using this linked database system for about 6 months or so and it’s a total lifesaver, if y’all want a tutorial or a template or something on it just let me know!
Academic Hub
Next up is my Academic Hub, where I keep all my school information and links. Within this, I have pages for each of my classes which I’ll talk about next, as well as other linked pages that help keep me organized. I also love having a quote at the top of my “hub” pages that are relevant to the page since they keep me motivated and inspired. I also have another linked database where I keep a calendar of all my due dates for the quarter. I’m on spring break right now so I don’t have any dates or notes entered in yet for the quarter, but I will soon!
Class Pages
For each class that I’m in, I make a page that can be the home for all things related to the course. I keep the information about when the class meets, the Zoom ID and the link to the class page on Canvas all handy at the top (plus the link to the syllabus if it’s online rather than a pdf). Then I have a list where I keep all my class notes, though I don’t have any in there just yet. I also have another linked database beneath that, which links to the due dates calendar, this one only showing the due dates for the particular class that the page is about (for example, this one would only show due dates for my English class)
Study Hall
And the last page that I’ll be sharing today is my study hall page, which is basically a checklist that I go through to help get myself into a focused mindset. I don’t do all of these every single time I want to work, but it’s handy if I’m having a hard time getting started on schoolwork. I also have a page linked with a list of study break ideas, and I like to pick one out to do once I’m done with my study session since that helps to motivate me. I also embedded two study playlists from Spotify to the page, so I can easily just click on them and get some good instrumental music to study to without having to search around for them.
hey, I made another YouTube video about how I read purposefully and effectively and how I use apps like Readwise, Instapaper, Notion and Goodnotes to keep track of my notes and reading highlights.
I’m still new to YouTube so please do take a look and a like and subscribe would mean the world
My desk space…in which I ended up rearranging everything right after this photo haha. I recently started using Notion to help keep up with my studies and I think I’m enjoying it but I’m still pretty new at it. I made a maple syrup latte with oatmilk to keep me going on this paper that’s due tonight. Oh and I use this quote from DPS to help me with my English papers..if you know you know.. Hope everyone is doing well✨ {mine}
back at it again with another notion post! this one’s about what I use every day in my personal workspace. hopefully this gives you all a bit of inspiration!
