Hi Simon, love your content mate! Do you have an ETA for your new Life OS version? Sooo looking forward to it! Thanks!!

[@BetterCreating]

@@carlosvaquerofoto Hi Carlos - thank you! Yes - I'm on track for the final part of March :)

[@carlosvaquerofoto]

@@BetterCreating can’t wait for it!!! I’m literally waiting for it to jump 100% into Notion ;)

[@mallory-knox]

Hi, love the icons, wondering if they work with mac system dark and light mode? I switch to dark mode if I am working late, so looking for icons that work for both, also wondering if there is a way to see the icons included? when I click on the notion pack it takes me directly to pay but I am not able to see anything , thank you!

Your videos have recently helped me get my Notion space to a place that makes me so happy every day when I use it. Love your videos, Simon. Thanks for the hard work you put in!

[@BetterCreating]

Love this Sara! Great to hear and thanks for being part of the BC crew! :)

I’m beginning to think that Notion is just something you spend the rest of your life setting up, designing, customizing, and “learning” to use, but never actually using in a real world situation.

[@eorlibird]

Its on you 😉

[@jidenshaotoko]

I agree with you depending on the mindset. What you described can happen if you get too into it. Tracking how many times you watered your plants, or how many times you drank water in my opinion defeats the purpose of Notion. But if you're using it for more general tasks -- as in not trying to micro-manage your daily life -- it's a pretty useful tool.

[@ThatMarkGilroy]

That column setup tip for mobile is killer. Thanks!

[@BetterCreating]

Woop! You are welcome. I love this trick.

[@rileyspiller]

Your motion graphics work is fantastic.

[@BetterCreating]

Thank you very much! Wonderful editor! :)

[@mikenad7022]

What a smooth and beautifully produced video. Wow. Love

[@lianemetzler9316]

I am so much waiting for 3.0 :-) after I have seen this video. Thanks Simon, your content is so inspiring

[@BetterCreating]

Love it - thanks my friend! Going as fast as possible on it - should be ready last Friday of March if all goes to plan! :)

[@arantxa_614]

I am thrilled to have come across Better Creating! Simon, as somebody who only recently discovered Notion, I do not know whether I should purchase one of last year’s Life OS versions and begin customising it accordingly, or sit tight for a month and await the update (which I 100% want to invest in). While I am eager to get going immediately, I worry that manually updating my tailored workspace could take longer than customising the latest version from scratch. I hope that makes sense. Your guidance here would be most appreciated 😊

[@BetterCreating]

Lovely comment - welcome! If you can hold off until end of March - it will likely be easier and a smoother transition. I suggest you join the waitlist on my website and you light enjoy this week’s coming video on how to start getting organised and doing an analog version of how I use notion for task managing. Could be a good place to start. You might also like to do the Notion from scratch series - you would learn how a lot of the systems on my life os work by building them! :)

[@arantxa_614]

@@BetterCreating Understood. Thank you so much for your recommendations - I’ll be sure to do these!

[@ViktorWurtenberger]

Nice Video- I love the aesthetics! When updating to your Notion 3.0 and going for the option with the icon packs included - will those be the notion icons only or will there be an option for life os 3.0 including all icons (ios and notion)? thanks for making our workspace way more beautiful

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks my friend! Not confirmed yet but my plan is to offer the template only and then an Addon version that includes the full Notion / iOS Design pack both installed in the template and downloadable alongside yes. :)

[@RohitHela]

I like how you've you've set up. One thing I wished to add is some form of visual hierarchy.

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks for the feedback - working on that still at moment. It’s a real balance! :)

[@WheyAIman]

Thank you Simon for the great video. I bought the Icon pack, they are fantastic. I noticed on your Notion page you have a clock widget, where did you get it from? It looks great.

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks my @monkatrons - yes the widget is from indify.co. Hey - if you get a moment so share a testimonial for the icon pack here - it would mean a lot: you can do it quick and easy here: senja.io/p/better-creating/r/xqcLv0 👍🤗

[@JimShingler]

Great Stuff really liked the page design tips for mobile. I really like the global menu idea. One thing to be aware of, ... I put the global menu in my bullet journal template that I do every day. It worked great. I eventual ran into a problem where an new Bullet Journal Page became very very slow. It took me a while to figure it out, .... they synced block across a couple hundred pages caused the slowness. Once I broke the link, ... my pages were fast again.

[@BetterCreating]

Nice one thank you. :) yes indeed - keep the menu on the dashboards - don’t add it into multiple repeating pages. I have it just on the pages it references. Works treat. :)

[@JimShingler]

@@BetterCreating Yup that was what I ended up do in too

[@johnguillen68]

I am still confused on how to use Notion. There are so many drop down menus and grids where I don't know how to input information. I wish there was a class that I can learn very slowly. I bought the Ultimate Life Planner and I wish I can use it more often but it's confusing.

[@harshyadav4697]

Hey can you please make a tutorial on how to make a life planner in notion please

[@BetterCreating]

Check my Notion from scratch series. :)

[@Doanvanmanh16]

How to edit icons of other apps besides Notion on your smartphone to look like that?

How do you use icons in toggle?

[@BetterCreating]

Not sure you can really - only option would be to add a fallout block into the toggle by dragging it in and then that can show an icon in it. :)

​@@BetterCreating I don't know! How did you make those circle icons and down arrow in the toggles name?

[@jpsolis1826]

Hopefully we can see the new Complete L OS 3.0 soon!!

[@BetterCreating]

Yes indeed! Made good progress this week - 2 1/2 day cracked the daily tracker and year reports. Development takes time! :) still fixed my sight on end of March for a release. I need a team!
