This may not be relevant to the effectiveness of the Command Center but I'm having trouble stacking the task view and notes view table side by side as seen in your tutorial. Is there a step to achieve that format?

They shouldn't be stacked. They should be side by side though@@kylergrace

This is by far the best Notion video I have seen. I've been trying to get into Notion, but I watch one tutorial and I instantly feel overwhelmed. But with this video I could easily follow along, and I have now setup my own basic LifeOS. Not only that, I actually have a basic understanding of how it works, so I can play around with all the different options myself. Thanks Jeff!

I just created a Notion account to help me manage my severe ADHD by amalgamating many different facets of both my professional and my personal life, and didn't know where or how to begin, but Notion sure seems like the answer. I spent a couple of days getting excited and overwhelmed with the variety of free templates out there (copying a bunch to my account), without knowing what really suits my needs. Then, I stumbled onto your video and thought that it was a great place to start, just getting to know the basics and then build (or copy) from there. Thanks so much for your timely tutorial . . . and as for you talking fast, I just turned my playback speed down to 0.75 . . . and then to 0.5, and that worked! 🙂 I'd love to see more of your ideas on how to expand upon the bones of what you had us build. I'm not much of a hotkey command kind of guy though, aside from the 3 or 4 standards that everyone knows.

Brilliant as always, Jeff! Your videos are like a pit stop service in Formula 1. No bullshit, no time wasting, just packed high-quality stuff. You could probably win the PitStop Award for this :)! I would be happy to see an extended video that could probably help to understand how to deal with different PROJECTS at work and in personal life, and how to make the database really meaningful over the years (how to set the right foundation), how to STORE, TAG, SEARCH and USE information. I would also be grateful if you could describe how your whole "LifeOS" works. I mean not just in Notion, but how it connects to other tools and techniques. E.g. what you store in Google Drive, how it's connected to Notion, how you avoid duplication of information, how you take notes, how you've developed a skill to track important segments in conversations/documents/concepts and a skill to ask the right questions. P.S. Oh, and the organizational structure for all the prompts you use, or even the prompt collection? Sweet dreams! But I would be happy to pay for it!
