How I Organise My Entire Life and Biz with Notion (Without Losing My Mind)

Let me guess: you’ve got a million tabs open, sticky notes everywhere, and no clue where you wrote down that brilliant idea. Same, bestie. Until I built a Notion system that turned my chaos into calm.

Why I Chose Notion to Organise My Life + Biz

Honestly? I tried everything before I landed on Notion. Bullet journals, Google Docs, Trello, apps that promised the world and gave me more notifications than clarity.

Notion was the first tool that didn’t force me into a structure I didn’t vibe with. I could design a dashboard that actually made sense for my brain – both the biz boss side and the "when did I last eat?" human side.

My Life & Biz Dashboard: The Digital HQ That Runs Everything

This dashboard is my everything. One page to rule them all – linked out to every corner of my world:

🌟 Life Hub Includes:

• Daily, weekly & monthly planning

• Space to create — and still make bank

The Secret Sauce: Linking Life and Business Together

Here’s where it gets powerful: my calendar, content planner, and personal routines are all synced in one space.

• Appointments show up on both life + biz pages
• Tasks can live under both "biz" and "home" categories
• Deadlines, launches, and even self-care are side-by-side (no more forgetting yourself in the hustle)

This means I’m not switching between apps, tabs, or brain modes. It’s all integrated.

P.S. If you ever feel like you’re drowning in to-do lists, remember: you don’t need a new planner. You just need a system that makes sense for YOU.
