Brain Tour
Edward is mainly using Notion to maintain his tasks and projects. He also manages his finances with Notion and takes his notes in there.
Tasks
His "This Week" page is broken down by week, weekend, and a few other side items. Every Sunday evening, he fills this page with the tasks for the coming week. Important things are colored to make them stand out.
There's also a second column for:
Deadlines
Weekly focus - contains the 2 or 3 things that need to be done this week
Side quests - bonus tasks that are not essential to complete
Home - includes personal stuff
Projects
This is a pipeline for Edward's important ongoing projects. What he especially likes about this are the individual properties, that can be set. For example, he as a filmmaker has other requirements on properties than someone who works in marketing.
Edward also likes to create templates for his repetitive projects, which saves him time when starting new projects.
Finances and Budget
He created a dashboard for his finances and budgets. This includes things like revenue, expenses, contractors, and monthly costs.
Edward has an accounting day once a month where he goes through his bank statements and transactions.
Note Taking
His journal pages are a place to jot down anything that needs to be tracked or tagged, such as team meetings, client notes, and interesting articles. He uses tags to categorize his notes.
