I always knew that @NotionHQ is really powerful but I haven’t really been able to leverage it in the past.

Over the holidays, I completely revamped my personal productivity and life organization system.

All in Notion.

This is what I accomplished 👇
1/ Unification

With this revamp, I dropped several apps including Todoist, Journey, Goodreads, and Apple Notes. I also no longer need to maintain an analog bullet journal.

Everything is available in an easy to digest dashboard. Image
2/ Advanced Todo List

Think GTD + Bullet Journaling

Given I am in a permanent remote job and always at home, I am no longer working typical 9-5 hours. Work/Life is all integrated so I reflected this in the to-do list as well.

Heavy usage of Notion DBs and linking. Image
3/ Daily Habits Tracker

This one leverages the Gallery view.

In this case I created a single DB for the entire year and only the current date is displayed on my dashboard.

It also calculates the % of tasks completed for the day and gives it a 🔴,🌕 or 🟢 flag for effects. Image
4/ Journaling

I have been using Journey for a few years but it was time for a reset.

For this I am leveraging Notion templates (morning/evening) with embedded todo list so I can add them as they come to mind in-line.

Plus it tracks my mood as a DB property. ImageImage
5/ Books

See you later, Goodreads.

For this, you just need a Gallery view and update the settings to display the cover image.

Group by status and ‘currently reading’ ones show up on my dashboard.

I plan to take some notes while reading and save them here for reference. Image
6/ Content Organization

My content has been all over the place.

Clearly, it wasn’t going to be scalable.

With this setup I have brought everything in one place - Calendar, Idea board and links to the tools I use.

‘Create New Post” opens a page to focus on writing. ImageImage
7/ Pomodoro Tracker

I have a dedicated ‘work tasks’ page which I always have displayed on one of my monitors during the day.

My goal is to achieve 6 #pomodoro sessions each day.

I track them here and have also embedded a @pomofocus timer right below it for low friction. Image
8/ Siri Connection

In order to dump ideas and tasks into the DB as they come to mind, I have created a Siri Shortcut.

I can invoke it from all my Apple devices including my Watch. Image
Well, that's it for now.

I feel there is a lot more that I haven't explored yet (especially with the third-party Notion apps).

Will share more as I learn.

My experience building a @SlackHQ bot using @tray and @airtable as the #nocode tools.

Giant Thread 🧵 👇
1/ I have been meaning to build a Slack bot for a while and have done several proofs-of-concept in the bast. But every single time I have failed to actually ship it just because it requires a managed back-end and that just adds too much effort for a simple side-project at work.
2/ 📚 Introducing — The Dictionary Bot

The idea is simple. Look up a list of acronyms and return what it stands for. For example

Amazon just announced a new #nocode/#lowcode tool at re:Invent conference.

It’s called AWS Amplify Studio.

In their own words, it is: “a visual development environment that offers frontend developers new features to accelerate UI development with minimal coding”
And this will totally blow your mind. 👇

The tool accepts a #Figma file and converts it into #React components library that you can then pull into your app.

So, not a no-code tool and definitely not for beginners.
But they are clearly bullish on the low-code/no-code approach to development.

They are positioning it as a “happy medium” between drag-n-drop development and the ability to customize.

I built this app in less than 60 minutes with #nocode.

A lot of my conversations on LinkedIn were resulting in “let’s do a zoom call”. Calendly links were shared but I didn’t have a good system to track them. So I decided to fix that. Image
I could have created a spreadsheet.

Right?

Boring! 😐

Why not create an app in the same amount of time?

Here are the features it supports: 👇
→ Sign in with an email
→ Sign in with Google
→ Add new contact (+ Calendly link)
→ View/Edit/Delete contacts
→ Filter contacts by status (Scheduled/Met)
→ Search for contacts
→ Works on mobile and web
