    I have never watched a more inspiring, informative, useful, concise, well-delivered productivity/planning video in my life. No long intro about unrelated info (your favorite coffee or candle, introducing us to your dog or cat), just jump right to the way you organize your planning.: a review of the books that are the basis of your system, showing how you pull it all together in Notion, examples that are interesting & make sense. Best 27 minutes I’ve ever spent on YT!

    I’ve never stuck with a system, I usually just play it by ear. But, I’m currently 3 months into my first job which is a startup environment and it’s embarrassing how unorganized I am. I never understood productivity people before, like actively researching how to be productive. Now, I totally get it. And I thank god I have resources to help me. I just downloaded notion, and I’m setting up my second brain this weekend!

    One of the most valuable things I got from your video: the reminder that receiving an invitation to an event = new project. Like many people, I know that when I get an invitation in the mail or by email, I need to put it on my calendar. My brain usually stops after that single step/task, but you’ve made it super clear that that’s only the first Next Step in a PROJECT that I need to PLAN. Sure, it’s a fairly straightforward project with a handful of steps, but nonetheless, time needs to be set aside to DO those steps before the event. It may seem silly, but that was kind of a 💡 moment for me.

I'm also doing the same thing at work, and am still trying to figure out what tools to use based on what we have access to at my organization. I'll be going down the rabbit hole of your videos!!! I would love to see how you actually track all of the details with the projects, like the different venues you contacted, possible gifts that you passed on...you know, the details within the action items. I'll be digging to see if you already have a video on this!

    Super helpful video, Amy! A problem I always face though is having to decide WHEN or how far in advance to begin planning for projects... such as a birthday party or a dinner or any other big event! Is a week enough time? Or a month? Or 3? And you're so right about an invitation being not for just that event but also to decide what to wear, including matching bags n shoes n also which gift to purchase, hiring a babysitter n so on..!

    Really helpful video. I am actually very familiar with the books and the combined process you are demonstrating in this video. One thing I would mention is that you can do all of it in Notion without having to jump to three different apps. :) However, I know everyone has their own way of doing things, I just prefer centralizing everything in one place and Notion is that place for me. I just got a really nice template I'm using for all of what you mentioned in this video. I'm just reevaluating if and how my 12 Week Year Notion template (the same one you have) can be incorporated within each project in my OS Notion template I bought recently... Anyhow, cool video! Thanks for tirelessly sharing helpful productivity tips over the past few years I've been following your channel! :)

    All the same suggestions. The PARA Method is really what's guided the entire organization process for me. I've found Notion to be a great tool for implementing that method. But if you read Tiago's books, you'll notice that he has PARA across all of his platforms from file management on his computer to the way he organizes a task manager. So you could really follow that guidance with any tool you want to use.
