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!
Hey Amy I just have to say, I am absolutely LOVING everything about your videos of late- the editing, the background, the topics covered. The amount of work you put into your videos is very much visible. Kudos to you for working so hard, your videos are super informative and always a delight to watch.

Here I am at 9am absolutely re-organizing my Notion because of this video! Sometimes I find productivity related videos too pushy or not explained well enough, but you did an incredible job. You had my attention for 27 minutes, which is truly a miracle :D
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!
Ok. I'm genuinely surprised, and that rarely happens in the endless stream of suggested content through which I find myself sleep-watching. And though you didn't ask for it, I feel compelled to give you my first reactions: Immediately hooked and VERY curious. - A fellow seasoned Holy Grail searcher! Our tribe is always scouring the interwebs for the chosen-one to lead us to the system we've been searching for... (I'm hoping this is it) - The idea-branding of "MY" LifeOS being the focus... - Mentions the emotional payoff of a functioning system no one ever seems to acknowledge, but we all yearn for... (players of Satisfactory will understand) - Awesome books (at least I hear, from multiple recommendations, though I've only read GTD which was awesome) This was all in the first 2 minutes. Wow. Watching the rest now... Edit: Just finished. Did NOT disappoint. It took me 4x as long to watch the rest because it was non-stop note taking. I may finally have a decent idea how to implement a solution in Notion. Thank you!
This is PURE GOLD! Ive been following for years & got so overwhelmed lately i’ve resorted to my board of mentors & you are the productivity board membre 😂 Enjoy time with the new one and please note id looove a more detailed work version of this! Thanks for everything amy!
Wow! The amount of useful information and details in this video is wild! Thank you so much, it is incredibly useful for me. I already use Notion and have my own templates, but following along made me adapt so many things. Love it!
I have just downloaded notion but haven't started using it yet, this is a fabulous tutorial! I love productivity and it's so great to find someone who is more knowledgeable and have more expertise than I do, you are an amazing productivity coach and teacher! Thank you for breaking it down with so many specific details! Spending my spring break implementing your tips from this series!!!
Hi, Amy! I've got an idea for your project database! You could use a view of current projects and filter it by status so your done/abandoned projects are still in the same project database but they just don't show up when you're seeing your current ones. Great video and thank you for the ideas!!! Really inspiring!
THANK YOU for this video. I feel like my life is in shambles (it’s not), but I can see this working for me to help me build a better back up brain. Going to watch again at least a few times. 🎉
Totally worth watching, not once, but over and over until I have it down pat. Just like them all in this series. You're my fave online expert to follow, by far! Btw, congrats on baby #2! From one of your truest 1000 fans! 😉
Just amazing, this content is soooo good! Keep up with this inspiring work, I have already applied more from your work into organizing my life than years of on my own research have given me. You are truly inspiring and I love how you talk and think, just know you are doing great with your work here!
You are so inspiring! I'm currently reworking my entire "life tracking" system using PARA and Notion. 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!
Great video! I'm curious to know when did you do those kind of project (birthday) tasks? How do you remember you have these tasks? Do you check them out every day? Etc.
Great question. I do the weekly review every Friday and the tasks that are top of the list in my project action items go on my weekly task list. This is why I recommend watching that video too because that’s a critical step to making this sustainable.
Love this, so so good! I use Notion as my second brain and have been relying on it more and more to stay organized. I love a lot of the tips and processes you provided, thank you!! Downloading the template to move stuff over so I can find it all easier haha
love the video, you can also just right click the task itself and the option "Move to" shows there too (instead of having to click on the task and go onto it's page properties)
Thank you for sharing your perspective. Helps me to got more dots connected and to constantly improve my meta level. May I recommend to add "The Bullet Journal Method" by Ryder Carroll to your list? GTD, BASB, and BuJo complement each other so well.
I loved this video, I do have one huge question though. Once things are in your project or task manager, how do you go about making sure they get done? I have a hard time doing this when I create data bases because I find it tedious to move things from a task or project manager into a calendar. I typically work very closely from my calendar and will simply add tasks/events from my master inbox list weekly directly to my calendar, but I do feel the need for a project manager as this is sometimes not enough. I hope im making sense asking this, but I guess im just wondering how things go from your project manager to your calendar/implementation. Do you ever forget about projects because they are out of sight in the manager? Is there any way around the redundancy of consistently copying things over from a task or project manager to a calendar? Do you just set aside daily or weekly time to work within these systems? Loaded question I know, but any insight here would be so so helpful as this is where I struggle. I can do the organization part but the implementation and scheduling part trips me up. Thank you!
I've been a listener for years! Thank you for always putting out information that is so tactical and applicable. What's your solution for phone call and meeting notes? Both work and personal... Keep them within Notion?
This video is awesome! Thank you. Can you PLEASE PLEASE make another one geared specifically toward work? While I don't foresee using it a ton for collaboration, I am about to start a job with very complex projects and tasks.
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! :)
Totally agree. I just have such a good habit with gcal that’s years old, I wouldn’t want to switch at this point. And I’m enjoy the experience of TickTick as well. You’re right though. Notion continues to improve experience by catering to all these steps.
@@LifewithMar The 12Week Year, Amy talks about in one of her recent videos. My main template though I got from this video: ua-cam.com/video/vby0FjH1ob0/v-deo.htmlsi=5xnKPLpIrMV9GpLJ I love it!
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..!
Wow 😮 Wow 🤩 Wow 😍 You are literally out here doing God’s work in the productivity; it’s like I thought 💭 a thing and you appeared. My kiddo and I was like we would love to para method out Notion as beginners were overthinking - but anywho THANK YOUUUUU bunches anddd please share how we can create this for working professionals. I appreciate you ❤
This is so helpful and fantastic. I get really distracted with each app's integrations/functions and it usually results in information being scattered instead of organized. For instance, do you put all your daily/weekly/etc recurring tasks like taking the trash out in the calendar, like you did in the video, or do you add it to the task manager? It feels weird to also have tasks in my calendar, but it's time-based so that does make sense in that way. I have a lot of time-based tasks though so if I added them all to the calendar, I fear it would be too cluttered.
Well done, Amy. NEEDED this video! 🩷👍🏻 I’m definitely interested in exploring the ideas presented in your video. A question I have is: How do you suggest managing projects/areas for teams that have positions with varying degrees of sensitivity?
Hi, Great video! I didn't understand when I set my tasks in a project, where can I see the tasks besides getting into the project? I mean, where do I see all my tasks as soon as I enter Notion?
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.
What advantage do you see with moving To-Do items to TickTick? Seems to me like you could possibly set up Notion and manage all the todo's there. I generally manage my ToDo list in Notion, but seems like moving over items to TickTick is an unnecessary and extra step? What is your view point on this? Thanks in advance for your time and ideas.
I would like to know the answer also. It would seem like she could just create a property or filter to organize the tasks in Notion. The only reason I can think of is because Notion is so slow. I find myself not looking at it because it takes so long to load.
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 want to go to Bianca's birthday 😅!
And great video, Amy! You're wonderful, really! 👏
5:33 PARA Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives
Using these systems lets the information slide into place
What about things like meal planning and a cleaning schedule?
Awesome, so glad I've found you! Clarification, how are PARA and Project differentiated? Are the major things Paras or does each project has a Para?
This was amazing! Will def apply it
16:47 have a template for starting projects. Make a template for each area such as video editing, 3d designing..
Hi, Great video!
I didn't understand when I set my tasks in a project, where can I see the tasks besides getting into the project? I mean, where do I see all my tasks as soon as I enter Notion?
The house is great! Many of the houses are space hogs. The fact that it’s smaller is a plus.
16:26 the Resources are the pantry of information
Thanks Amy!
Link to the notion template isn't working =(
How do you sort everything inside each of the pages within the resources to have it organised and easy to find?
I trust anything you say.
So so good I'm going to watch this so many times. Does anyone know if I can use notion on my android phone?
Yes! I mainly use it on my desktop but I also have the app and it's great on the go :)
What suggestions do you have for creating a LifeOS without using Notion?
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.

Probably one of Amy's best video so far. Very useful and informative. And aesthetically pleasing. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Do you still have your memory box you posted a video on years years ago??
Are you talking about the commonplace book video? I integrated those notecards in this this system so they are more accessible digitally.
@@AmyTV quite possibly.. it had note cards with quotes or saying from books you read etc. I could see switching to digitally would be very accessible
