Yay for another Notion video! More coming soon in this series, too. Be sure to hit "like" if you enjoyed this and want to see more!

[@FeeBeeCreating]

I'm starting my ream (and associated social media) next month, so I came back to watch this again to help me sort out my content calendar in notion. Thank you Sarra for everything you do!

[@releko10]

Me when I saw Preptober 2023 on your planning page: 🤩 sooo excited! I love Notion. I use it every day for an ever-increasing percentage of my life areas. I love to see how others use it, because it always sparks new ideas. Thanks for sharing!

[@hollychristensen2669]

I am SO excited for an in-depth video! I have my 2nd book complete, but social media overwhelms me. The way you explain things just clicks and calms my anxiety about putting myself out there and staying on top of things. Thank you for your awesome videos, Sarra! They're more helpful than you know!❤

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you for that feedback! I sometimes record things multiple times to try to be as clear as I can do this is encouraging.

[@LynetteYoung]

Perfect timing! My marketing team wants to learn to use Notion for our social calendars!!! THANK YOU!

[@HeartBreathings]

Awesome! Hope this sparks some ideas!

Wow, Sarra, hat off, this is amazing. I am using Notion for a couple of years, I know all the features, but sometimes I struggle with how to set up some parts, not how to set it up technically, but how to do it so that it would make sense and it would make my life easier. Recently I've been struggling with my Content Hub page because I don't use it as much as I would like to and this video is IT! Thank you so much, that inspired me so much on how to set up my own content hub! Love you!

[@HeartBreathings]

Yay!! This makes it all worth it. So happy it's helpful!!

[@emilyvbr1878]

I've never been very interested in digital planning until recently but the sheer organization here looks amazing 😮😍

[@MariJadeWrites]

I returned to try Notion again today after a break, I am using a template and it was fun to set up/personalize and not as overhwelming as before. Hope I can use it well as I'll definitely need to plan/keep track of a lot of things starting next week :)

[@Your_Lifestyle_Business]

🌟 Sarra, your Notion content planning system is an absolute game-changer! Your videos always provide such clear and practical insights, and this one is no exception. I've been struggling to find an effective way to manage my content, and your approach is exactly what I needed. Can't wait for the in-depth tutorial on setting it up. Your passion and expertise shine through, and I'm super excited to implement this in my workflow. Thank you for sharing your wisdom! 🙌💡

[@jocelynlasley738]

Love Notion! And your content hub and templates are to die for. Can't wait to see the next video!

[@SDHegyes]

I absolutely LOVE Notion, and this is exactly what I've been looking at doing with my content planning. I want to love paper content planning, but I set the schedule and then never look at it again. I need something that I'm actively tweaking all the time (changing from filming to editing to publishing, etc) in order to make it work I think. Great video. I can't wait to see the walk-through on how to set it up. I always get new ideas when you do your videos. Currently, I'm using Notion to track all my writing projects in all the stages they're in, writing journal, reading journal, TV/movie log, and gaming journal (we have Family Night every Monday and we switch between TV, board game, and video game). All of that has been working great for me in Notion so far.

[@christinaayala5993]

This is great, so helpful! I plan my social media similar to your using the kan ban, even with similar sections. For the calendar I was keeping track of what I posted after I posted it, but I like your way better because I’m trying to get ahead on it. I’m terrible at creating templates, I love how you have those, and I had no idea you could drag the cards to the calendar!! That’s going to be a game changer for me! I look forward to the tutorial, your system/setup looks more robust than what I have, can’t wait to see it! Also, this is a great reminder for me to go back to the other Notion video, I had stopped because I wanted to setup “with you.” Thank you for these videos!

[@corinneblagg3003]

I'm so excited about the videos coming up. I was just thinking I might email you with questions. You read my mind!

[@functionalplanningwithlisa]

Another awesome video Sarra! Thank you so much xx

[@HeartBreathings]

Thanks for watching!

[@cellahosewe8466]

Your content creation dashboard is just so cute, I wish you could make a video of how to make the exact same one as you did with your personal planner

[@HeartBreathings]

If you haven't watched this one, I believe I'm setting up what you're asking for here in detail! Let me know! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWPLdX2Vmt9lldE

[@amypatrickbooks]

Yay 🎉 I've just discovered notion, and I'm excited to see your system ❤

[@KaceyEzellWriterLife]

This is awesome. I love Notion, and have really enjoyed using it to keep on top of my writing tasks/projects. When you do your tutorial video on how to set this up, I'd love it if you'd discuss any integration between your content hub and any resulting HB90 tasks (ie. how do you reflect when it's time to do tasks like "film the video", "edit the video") etc! Thank you!!!

[@Ideonetic]

Your Notion walkthroughs are so helpful for me! I get really overwhelmed, but Notion for HB90 has been such a gamechanger. I'm curious about the writing journal as well if you're going to do a video on that 😊

[@marchmuffin]

Congratulations on the sponsorship! That's awesome. 🎉

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you!!

[@wendyvancamp1738]

This content planning system in Notion looks awesome. I've been doing my socials basically in my head or in my filofax and have no way to intergrate an assistant should I choose to hire one. I am on Notion, but have not been able to figure out how to do even a small amount of what you do so effortlessly. I will look forward to your future in-depth tutorial.

[@1girlsopinion]

I love this. I’m gonna try using it for my blog.

[@mensajesdeamorypaz1]

I love Mint Mobile. I have them for a long time best phone decision ever!

[@HeartBreathings]

Agree! We have switched and it's been great!!

[@user-fk5jk9cn1c]

This was super helpful, thank you! I have two brands as well that I’m just launching, and it’s so helpful to see a process that might ease the overwhelm. Looking forward to the next ones. ❤

[@HeartBreathings]

So glad it was helpful!!

[@imphelpswriter]

Sarra! I have a tab open for mint mobile and when you started talking about it I was like...how does she know this!? I love the notion videos. The one you did a while back on setting up the notion dashboard and quarterly goals was wonderful! I watched it on my laptop and set it up on my desktop. Can't wait to see more about the social media set up.

[@HeartBreathings]

That's so fun! I am loving Mint Mobile, so far, and I can't believe how inexpensive it is. Highly recommend giving it a try! And so happy you're loving the notion videos

[@ChristieOdendaal-mz5ng]

I am someone with basically 3 brands. One of my biggest problems was thumbnails not matching. I do use the notion app. You just saved me from a massive headache with the idea of adding the thumbnail or cover image. I will be a bit busy getting that intergraded but it will help alot

[@susanbuckminster282]

Thank you!

[@shenellmaye11]

looking forward to the my favorite books on writing video. because of you, I read a James Scott Bell book and it has enhanced my wip

[@JennatheSoulWriter]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[@HeartBreathings]

It's so much fun, and it's been so helpful. I hope you enjoy it!

[@RachPauthor]

Woah! I'm also a dedicated pen and paper girl, but that looks way cool!! Also, can I vote for becoming a writer in 2023, cos that where I'm at, and the favourite books for writers videos, please!!

[@storiesnstoneware]

Yes! More notion! I have two business as well and its hard to manage both!

[@HeartBreathings]

Amen! haha, it reallly is a challenge!

[@goldenretrievermom7945]

Ok how much did you love him in Just Friends?! I fell in love with Mr Reynolds the moment I saw the first scene.

[@mizzelle71]

Love the Notion tutorials! Are you still doing one for your writing journal in Notion?

[@HeartBreathings]

Yes, I will! I'm still tweaking a few things that aren't fully how I want them, but it's getting close! I'll do a full tour and walk through when it's looking good.

[@nildam.bonilla5849]

❤

[@cecilywolfe4571]

Thanks so much for sharing your process. Do you have a template for this you are willing to share with us?

[@HeartBreathings]

I don't have a template, but I'm going to figure out how to make a shareable one and I'll let you know.

[@amberlyda43]

ooooh...mint mobile sounds awesome. Do you know which of the big providers they use for their satellites? (TMobile, ATT, Verizon)? I'm looking for something like this that works well in the west.

[@HeartBreathings]

It runs on the TMobile network!

[@user-lb9sp7fh7k]

Hello, I am a little confused with getting the template into my own notion account.

[@HeartBreathings]

Try this walkthrough - www.notion.so/help/guides/the-ultimate-guide-to-notion-templates

[@dkannapan]

Apparently you can collaborate with up to 10 people even without the paid plan. I was confused for a bit since I don’t have one and have one other person on my team.

[@HeartBreathings]

I believe it's limited by number of blocks!

[@PhoenixFireRising]

Hi Sarra! You mention having a Team Notion (paid). I see that Notion has 3 levels of paid: Plus, Business, and Enterprise. I’m thinking that Plus is enough for 2-5 people to collaborate. For what you do with your Operations Manager, is Plus enough? Or do one of the others give you something that you find valuable?

[@HeartBreathings]

Yes, we are on the plus plan! If you're only doing minor collabs you might still be able to get away with free collaborations, but we've got pages and pages, so we needed plus and it's been great without needing more!

[@PhoenixFireRising]

THANK YOU, Sarra! I love ALL your videos and I am double loving the Notions ones! Thank you so much!

[@PartlySunnyToday]

Was wondering the same thing - thanks for letting us know which subscription plan you're using.@@HeartBreathings

[@masonmcdowell9755]

more

[@SennaCrow]

Oh.....Also....Notion is only free up to 1,000 blocks. But the paid single person version is cheap compared to other programs. $48 for a whole year.
