WAHOO!!! I’ve had a glitch in my NOTION setup since I installed it. I’ve asked for help from multiple sources. Nobody could figure it out. Today, I had the idea that *maybe* I could fix it on an actual computer. Previously, I’d been using my phone and iPad. Sure enough, within five minutes, I had the problem solved on my (ancient) MacBook Pro! HUZZAH! I’d say that I feel a bit silly for wrestling with the issue for so many months, with the consequence of not actually being able to use the app the entire time, but I don’t. I feel fortunate to have not given up my quest for an answer, for I *knew* a solution was available, I simply hadn’t landed upon it until now. Meanwhile, life became more complicated in some respects, so now I’m extra grateful to have used the time to continue leaning about more of NOTION’s possibilities, including your walk-through. I’ve already got your Life 2.0 and now I’m ready to begin… *FINALLY* Thanks for making such great content, Simon. Your presentation is one I can focus on and learn from, now that I’ve kicked that initial friction out of my way. YAY! 😁

I am so thankful that you are still continuing this series! Just wanted to say your previous build videos really helped me to manage my school life and got me through my national exams this year.. managing my homework etc. Looking forward to completing this build and also build 3 and 4 in the series!

Hi Pedro - Welcome back! enjoy the goal setting vid! :)

hi, in the second part of this two part series on goal setting, you reference the goal database which supposedly was in the prior video, but it's not. can youbplease tell me which video you demonstrate setting up the goal database?

Hello there, I’ve done the financial tracker and the task manager and I liked it. I have some free time to put into notion, do you recommend any of your videos to do new other things? We need more! (Goals and habits is not my thing tho)

Hey man i love your second brain! I would appreciate some guidance as i'm 19 years old and my life is currently really simple (i don't constantly have a load of things to do). Would you recommend your second brain or should i go with a simpler one? Or should i get yours and grow with both you and the second brain over the coming years? Just looking for a genuine opinion! Thanks and happy new year!

You look like Jason Statham in a clever disguise - hair, glasses, smart. Genius!

I thought the James Clear quote was, "You don't rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems"? Great video regardless. Thanks!

@@BetterCreating You said and wrote “You rise to your goals” and I immediately was like “I thought James Clear specifically said the opposite of that?” I had to look it up. Lol. Regardless, the whole video and content within it is in the essence of the original quote anyway so it doesn’t really matter to be a quote police. Just thought it was funny.

What tools are you using to highlight the sections?

Does your new finance tracker have a bills tracker built in?

Hi Simon, what software do you use for your screen recordings and screen visuals? Very slick

@BetterCreating

I do the recordings on Cleanshot - that can show clicks and keystrokes… but all the movement and highlighting is done by my editor in after effects. :) cheers!

Please make more build with me videos

They are coming :) - I have another NFS Series build on Dependent and sub-tasks coming next week if all goes to plan. :)

Not 100% related but I hope you can help. I am trying to create a database that can replace my weight tracker app. I want to create a formula to show what % I am to my goal weight. I can't seem to figure it out. Can you help?

Hi Simon, are we getting a new version of the Notion Life OS? I don't want to start in the old version and then to migrate.

@BetterCreating

Yes - but likely to be end of Feb when ready. If you are happy to wait for it - probably will be better if you don’t want to migrate :)

When will you be releasing your new 2023 complete life templates?

Hi Sara - I’m working on them this month and into Feb - there are a lot of updates and improvements to cover - and was waiting for sub items and recurring templates to be released by Notion last year :) Likely end of Feb 👍💪🤗

if you added the three buttons ... under the template button, the current year plan will drop in below the start new year plan :)

Hey, I shot you an email a week ago but no reply. Bought your notion LifeOS. It is so damn difficult and complex. Completely overwhelmed and don't know where to begin. Please help me!

Hey Nicholas, thanks for waiting on my reply - I've just returned from a work trip and yesterday's bank holiday Monday here in the UK hence why I'm just replying to your email from Friday. I've just replied with with a list of guide videos and ways in to the template and a couple of suggestions :) For those newer to my Notion content, or Notion - these bigger templates can be a little overwhelming to start with, but soon become super powerful - but if you are looking for something simpler and more accessible - I recommend we talk about my Simplified Notion template - a great option if you want less functionality but more simple interfaces :) Thanks - speak to you on email if need! Best wishes, Simon

I’m super excited to get started, however as a new Notion user, there’s a lot here and it’s quite overwhelming. I’ve watched the overview twice and you mention ‘this’ (yearly goals and planner) is the place to start and this video for that section. It’s great you’re teaching people how to build this template, but what about those of us that want to learn how to use it? While this may be a fantastic video, for me it’s confusing and has too much stuff I don’t need as a user. This should NOT be recommended for users. Would love a video on this section solely for users. I’m frustrated, very, very, frustrated!

Hi there. For the build part I recommend you start at the beginning of the playlist and work through in order. If you would like to learn how to set goals using this system: try watching this: My Annual Review In Notion: A Complete Guide To Goal Setting 2022 (+ Notion Template!) kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2l9qJuYdceydso.html. If you would like a guide to task management and project management using this system - you can find those in my other Notion playlists. :) thanks.

This is Brilliant Thank you so much
