I am glad you are here, I hope this can be useful to you.


😌 Organization

Let me start by explaining a little bit about how my organization works. I have seen most people work with spaces such as a business that they have or a class they go to, but I have seen a more efficient way to organize your life is like this: everyone has one, two, or three of these areas:

From here you can have spaces on each, for example, on the School Area your spaces would be your subjects, on the Work Area, your spaces would be your jobs or businesses, on the Personal Area, your spaces would be your Home, Social Life, Spiritual Life and Yourself (Health, Appearance, etc).


⚙️ How the dashboard works

This dashboard changes automatically everyday, allowing you to plan each day and to get an overview on them.

This works with a formula on the Calendar Database:

if(ceil(dateBetween(prop("Date"), now(), "hours") / 24) == 0, "⭐️", if(ceil(dateBetween(prop("Date"), now(), "hours") / 24) == -1, "👈🏼", if(ceil(dateBetween(prop("Date"), now(), "hours") / 24) < 0, "❌", if(ceil(dateBetween(prop("Date"), now(), "hours") / 24) == 1, "👉🏼", "⏺"))))

Basically, this formula works with the date property to recognize which day is today (“⭐️”), tomorrow (“👉🏼”), yesterday (“👈🏼”), past days (“❌”) and future days (“⏺”).

From this it is easy to roll up the property to other databases and see which items correspond to this day, which is what, then, you can filter on the dashboard.

Each DataBase has a description to help understand how to use them.


🥴 The thing about the Calendar Database

Every month I add all the days for the month to the Calendar db, this is because Notion can get too saturated if you add all by once, but you can definitely try that. In order to make it an easier process, instead of adding the dates one by one, I add the date for the first day of the month to Excel and then drag down the box until it completes the whole month to then copy and paste to notion. To add the name of each day I use a formula to format from the date property (“MMM dddd D”) and then copy and paste to the name property.
