      I'm happy to report that I'm beginning to get the hang of things, and am excited about these new changes. Once I decide how I'll be using Notion Automations, I'll pop back in here and let you know whatI think, and how I'm using them. For now, I'd just like to thank you again for all you do, and for helping me through the struggle phase. ;-)

    I always enjoy the way you show what a thing does before you show how to build one. I suppose the task minute tracker could be start, pause, stop - which you could then get update a total time in another field - or even a working time database… (if, like me you flit between tasks and projects over a longer time)?

    • @StellaThyme
      @StellaThyme 8 місяців тому

      @BetterCreating I was wondering about this too… the “stop pause start”. Or would you just create more/“smaller” tasks with shorter time frames? Really interested in this answer 😊

    • @richardwalker_
      @richardwalker_ 8 місяців тому +1

      I’ve seen it with start/pause buttons; the start adding a new record with a start time to a database related to that task and the pause adding the stop time to that record, then a sum of all of those parts added up and rolled back to the original task - but I like the idea of automating that even more - either with the state change or even when the task has focus?

    Hi Simon, is it possible to pause a task (either with a new pause button or the stop button) in the time tracking template and resume the same task at a later time? In this case a task would have several time entries that notion has to addition to calculate the total time of a task. Can your template or notion in general do this at the moment?

      Hi there! No worries - yes the Discord is for people who own a Life OS template :) Simplified Notion, Notion Life Os, Creative Os or the bundle of both. :)

    Great video Simon and looking forward to the simplified notion template. How does an upgrade on your templates work? Am I correct in thinking that if I add a few fields to lets say the projects table, then an upgrade would overwrite them. How much can you personalise without making your installation not upgradable. Must be a challenge keeping up with Notion although I guess the core functionality does the job

    • @BetterCreating
      @BetterCreating  8 місяців тому +1

      Thank my friend. In fact - Notion is not a platform where you can update other people’s workspaces - so template updates are simply that I create an updated version and users can re-download / duplicate that template onto their workspace. From there you would have the option to move database content from your old version at your own risk, or simply start fresh. I try to share suggestions of best practice to do this. :) hope that helps.

    I feel like this left be more unproductive with learning new task that don't work and spending money on a creative OS which is actually quite useless

    • @BetterCreating

      Sorry to hear that. The creative os has been invaluable for running my business - but I want to work on finding a simpler version that is accessible to more people: the simplest system that works for you is best!
