Marie PoulinTiago Forte recently released his new book on the PARA method, so we thought it would be helpful to dig into what the PARA method is, why you might want to use it, some of the key challenges, and how to effectively apply it to your Notion workspace.
PARA is essentially a tool-agnostic system for organizing all the information in your life. PARA stands for Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives.

Journaling is a hugely powerful habit; it helps me become more mindful, make better decisions, support my memory, and help me notice patterns in my mood, health, and behaviour.

The Status property can act like both a Checkbox property and/or a Select property: it's the best of both worlds. Here's how to customize it and adjust your preferred views.

This is a demo/tour more so than a how-to video, as this is a more advanced setup that I've been honing over the last few years, and involves lots of grouping, formulas, and filtering that is heavily tailored to my needs.
Take inspiration and leave what doesn't work!
////////////
One of the most common questions I receive about my videos and screenshares: "Is this available as a template?" I do not provide ready-made templates of the dashboards you see in my screenshots and Youtube Videos.
WHY? One of the reasons I don't make them available as a templates:
My dashboards use dozens of databases and properties that are: 1. Overwhelming for the majority of new users, 2. Messy for experienced users who already have some of the same databases, and don't know how to merge/integrate the data, 3. 100% tailored to my processes, working style, and ADHD brain. If you don't have and regularly use the databases demonstrated, things can get messy/confusing very quickly!
I do however provide all the components (databases) and step by step instructions to build them yourself in a way that is tailored to your needs inside my course Notion Mastery notionmastery.com
We provide everything you need to build them yourself, along with prompts, considerations, and ideas for how to make them work for your unique needs and circumstances. Your systems are much more likely to be effective when you've had a hand in shaping them!

I've fought my naturally wavy hair my whole life, and didn't realize that I was creating more damage by resisting my hairs' natural texture, and trying to straighten it every day. I had no idea about any of the techniques or products that can help us wavy haired girls embrace and enhance our waves.
I'm on a journey to try to embrace my natural hair by learning how to take better care of it, but WOW there's a lot to learn.
I created a Wavy Hair dashboard to help me take notes about products, application techniques, routines, etc. I take a selfie every day and take note of what I did, what products I use, so I can learn how to get better.

Cat is a co-instructor within Notion Mastery: notionmastery.comNotions New Grouping Feature!Marie Poulin2021-10-18 | Notion just enabled their new Grouping feature on all accounts!
I've been beta testing it for a few weeks and holy wow does it make so many things easier, especially rapidly adding tasks by Project.
Here are a few sneak peeks of how it works and what you can do with it.
All views (except calendar) can now have an additional layer of grouping (including grouping by relation or formula!). Kanban boards can now do subgrouping, AND grouping by relation/formula.
This makes showing tasks by day of the week so much easier. Explore the possibilities - and let me know how you're using it!

Our individual work, perspectives, and values have much overlap. Chris has taken to tracking his life, health and values using Airtable in a way similar to what I do with Notion, and we both acknowledge and agree that these tools are so much more than just fancy databases.

Creating a course that truly creates impact in student's lives is no small endeavour!

For years Andrew has specialized in helping his clients scale their online learning experiences, and improve the results of their students. I've worked as a strategic advisor to clients who run online course-based businesses, and have grown my own course (Notion Mastery) to nearly 1k students in just over one year.
I'll be joining Andrew as a founding fellow for the On Deck Online Course Fellowship: beondeck.com/course-creators (Kicks off April 4th!)
Join us for this livestream where we'll discuss what makes courses transformational, answer your biggest course questions, and share any insight into what to expect if you're planning to join us for the On Deck fellowship!Fear, Visibility + Imposter Complex: A conversation with Tanya GeislerMarie Poulin2021-02-13 | Tanya Geisler is a masterful leadership coach who helps others overcome their imposter complex and step into their own iconic brilliance.
I've worked with Tanya in several capacities since 2015; each time when I'm at the precipice of some new role, project, or endeavour, whenever I feel my confidence waver, or I'm scared to do something that feels so big or unknown.
I consider Tanya an instrumental force in my own willingness to be more visible and overcome the fear and uncertainty that can pop up when you know you're doing work that is purposeful and aligned, and feels bigger than you're capable of right now.
Join us for a very candid conversation and interactive Q+A where we'll discuss our own journeys, the sneaky ways that imposter complex can show up, and how to start shipping the work that matters!

Notion Mastery: mariepoulin.com/notion-masteryTask Management with Notion (Part 1)Marie Poulin2020-01-06 | This is a basic 101 overview/tour of how I use Notion for task management.

There are SO MANY nuances to using Notion for Task Management, so this is only part 1 :)
