As a content creator it is an essential part to plan and organise all your video projects. How do I note my ideas? How do I organise my projects? How do I write a script? How do I plan a shot list? In this video I answer all of these questions by sharing my creative workflow within a productivity app called "Notion". This workflow really helped me boost my productivity and the storytelling of my videos. If you ever wondered what kind of work goes into my KZbin videos or you are struggling to implement a structure into your own ones, this video is for you!

I hope this workflow can bring some organisation to your own video projects! 💯 Here you can sign up for Notion: ntn.so/niklasnotion And here you will find my workspace as a template: bit.ly/30oZFjn

[@editorwaa]

Can you let us know what kind of lower third do you use the black and yellow one???

[@mitalimitali2811]

Please do a video on how to click picture or record video with your mobile. 📲 Cause many of us don't have a camera 📷

[@Toufiq469]

@@editorwaa Thanks for this workflow, it help me to organise my work and time. Love from India❤️🙏

[@PapuChi001]

nice video dude

[@MaikHansen]

Just downloaded and can't wait to organize everything 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I will probably add a list with the learnings from your videos! Crazy how much value you have in every single video 😍 Thanks for sharing!!

[@PhilipRung]

When you made this video, you planned your video in notion about making a video with notion # inception 🤯😂

[@ElMasie]

Now you must do a video on how you record awesome clips by yourself!

[@pawansaini3829]

😂😂🤣 yep

[@creativelifestyle3610]

Yeah bro 😂👌🏽

[@kawshalyastudios9388]

I have been asking this for months now

[@murilosantos6328]

For sure!!!

[@RajatJain02]

+1

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

I watched the whole thing, even though I knew I wouldn't be able to afford the monthly subscription, just to see what I was missing out on and to see if I could duplicate some of it using what I already have available to me, but then it turns out IT'S FREE! 🥳

[@HereWeChannel]

Me too 😂😂😂😂

[@sizweml]

🤣🤣🤣 same here

[@CarpathianWasteGroup]

but ... it is free tho for individuals.

[@rajeshpatil08]

They do have free plan as well. Check it out.

[@jimmychavedo8038]

I have heard youtubers talk about Notion for years, you are the first one to show me how useful it actually is. Great explanation. Thank you.

[@Matt.Gillard]

I totally agree!

[@themobilegamer7333]

Did you use a template of him

[@Shayanwahedi]

My KZbin channel is just taking off, so this is of immense value, Niklas. Highly appreciate the educational content!

Same here.

[@divyanshmanglaa]

This guy deserves a million subs💕

[@citronmeringue8166]

Thank you so much for sharing this Niklas! I’m only looking to get into youtube and doing my research and the fact that you not only share your workflow with such clear details and explanations but also give us the templates (!!!). You’re like, literally the opposite of clickbait. I came here expecting one thing and got like at least x2 more.

[@ginociardi10]

I couldn't agree more. This video is just mind blowing. It helps me so much to organise and create my workflow as a beginner filmmaker.

[@trollhubert9218]

why aren't you starting, or did you start on a different channel?

[@iforinteresting7669]

I agree with you

[@atharvakr0830]

after watching this video i felt that You deserved 1 million man.

[@khymjubindultra457]

same thought

[@martinlambov]

Thank you so much for sharing! I can tell that this template has taken tens of hours to create and refine. For someone like me who's just starting out, this is a game changer! I'm very grateful for the invested time and effort in all this!

[@ZylerKade]

It blew my mind how into detail you went in this video. Absolutely loved it! Great setup

[@TanChoudhury]

Love the vids man, super inspired by your content

[@moveup24]

It's great that you shared your thought and the way you worked on your projects. Thank you so much Niklas! I’m only looking to get into youtube and do my research and the fact that you not only share your workflow with such clear details and explanations but also give us the templates as well. I came here expecting one thing and got at least more than I expected. I will keep you in my videos as a reference and inspiration. you are great, Niklas!👍🏽

[@aaronbazil]

Saw your transform your bedroom video, and now this one. I'm instantly on-board! Instant subscribe! Your video quality looks incredible, your information is straight to the point with no fillers or random stuff... man, everything I'm working on myself! Can't wait to see more videos! Shoutout from the US 🇺🇸 🙌🏾

[@peterivan22]

I had watched this video before and started using Notion and it amazing! I had to come back and watch your video again as it is so helpful and you do cover a lot! It really helped to better plan videos as I get distracted easily with everything going on! Hugely helpful! Thank you!

[@spaniardonwheels]

This is amazing man! As a content creator myself, I really appreciate the fact that you shared your workflow so thoroughly. I find it extremely overwhelming, and whereas I'm also very organized and perfectionist, I was wondering if you followed the same framework when you used to work for other KZbinrs-that'd sound like a lot of work.

[@151agung]

Nicklas, this is amazing!! Really love how you deep dive on organizing stuff for a project. I used to use another website, but it's not as great as notion. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@DerUmhauer]

Niklas, as a video for creator this is insane value. Man your template, you are so amazing for sharing it. It is worth so much. Thats whats beautiful about youtube. We get great stuff for free and you get paid for showing great stuff.

[@itsakanksha.k]

This was so so helpful! There's a lot of youtube workflow tutorials using Notion but hearing about details like scripting, shot list and filming schedule was exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@HablemosdeRunning]

En todos tus vídeos pongo los subtítulos traducido al español y voy viendo y dando pausas. Me volví completamente adicto a tus vídeos, me inspiras en absolutamente todo. Bro, tienes 27 años y me sorprende la cantidad de conocimiento que tiene acerca de todo lo que haces. Ya hice la membresía en Artlist desde tu enlace y tambien compré tu producto "Text Graphics" y en unos días compraré el "ANIMATED FILM FRAMES". Estoy invertiendo bastante en conocimiento y he estado aprendiendo mucho de tí. Vivo en Texas y aunque no hablo inglés y no tengo la costumbre de ver videos subtitulados, los tuyos los veo con mucho gusto (sirve de que vaya aprendiendo inglés). Estoy ansiosoo por el nuevo producto que vas a lanzar luego luego, un saludo y un fuerte abrazo.

[@MaxTheBeast007]

No Joke, das wirklich beste Video, welches ich zu Notion gesehen habe - hab mir extrem viel mit notiert, was ich jetzt dann gleich anwenden werde. Deine Struktur wird mir enorm helfen, meine ganzen Projekte endlich ordentlich zu strukturieren und dadurch nicht immer in Stress zu geraten, was ich noch als nächstes aufnehmen will. Und ich finds einfach mega krass, dass du einfach aus München kommst (komme aus der näheren Umgebung von München). Wirklich super cool zu sehen, was für nice Leute bei einem in der Umgebung auch auf KZbin aktiv sind.

[@amysdecordiy]

I cannot tell you how valuable this video, and your template is! As someone at the start of their video-making journey, your guided explanation has helped me tremendously. Thank you!!!

[@theangeloadiaz]

This is unbelievably helpful. Thank you so much. I have learned A TON, not just about Notion, but also your mindset on filmmaking. Absolutely amazing

[@jasonkoh]

This is absolute GOLD, thank you Niklas! I just found out about you yesterday and have been binging your content ever since. Hope you are soaking up all of Bali - really looking forward to hearing more about your upcoming course!

[@WhatLurksBeneath]

Dude.... You just saved my life! This is amazing!

[@LetsCookMitJulian]

Incredible Video, thanks for explaining your workflow!

[@wadethomas1043]

Great job man. One of the best setups I've seen. Actually useful and efficient

[@bribeingraw7655]

So glad I clicked on your video! This is probably the most thorough and easy to follow filmmaking workflow on Notion. Being new on KZbin, I have been trying to get used to Notion and film making myself. I tried a number of project templates already, I love that yours have a more elaborated yet concise shot list table. I'll definitely be using some of your templates, thanks so much this is very helpful! 😊

[@FelixHuray]

I'm just amazed how your videos color... Stability... Shots are all very consistent... Can't imagine the gear you carry. And the hassle of assembling the gear... Set up the shot.. While at same time trying to enjoy your travel... Simply awesome!!!

[@KaiVertigoh]

Started using Notion about a month ago, and seeing this breakdown was extremely helpful! Thanks so much Niklas!

[@jaimetan]

I've recently got past my fear of Notion and also diving deep into it from organising notes I'm taking from the books I'm reading to organising our new home purchase, and now set up templates for the production workflows in my advertising job... and now looking into templates for my KZbin workflows too. Love how you script and pull out the A and B-roll bits from your script into their separate workflows, very smart! Your template's actually more efficient than Thomas Frank's! 😬😅 Well done, and THANK YOU!

[@OreApampa]

Niklas! This was so helpful! Thank you for sharing your process. This helps those of us looking to improve our videos.

[@nikos_trh]

All those videos have got soooo valuable content. I just saw the list with the " coming soon videos" and I really can't wait. I really love this channel more and more each day 🙏😁

[@SharleenLarryGuevara]

I was on a creative rut for a couple months brought by the pandemic and so many financial challenges but I felt my passion re-ignited after watching your videos. Danke Niklas! Keep up the good work! You never know who you are inspiring. Proooost from the Philippines! :)

[@armando.visuals]

Finally had time to go over everything in Notion with your template and wow THANK YOU!!!

[@debbie_jacobss]

Thank you so much for sharing these tips and templates! For novice KZbinrs like me, this is of so much value! And it makes me want to put a lot of time and effort into the story and other things.

[@braddimaggio]

Thank you for this! Using Notion for the first time now and loving it!

[@gregorybordelon]

This was so helpful! Thank you for simplifying the Ideas section, I particularly struggled with developing the right system, but toggling is a great method.

[@TheLegLady]

Love it, will definitely be checking out Notion moving forward. As a wife, mom and full-time business owner that has recently started with KZbin I have been looking for something like this to keep things organized and on track.

[@ashleymaden]

Incredibly helpful and well organized/thought out video, thank you so so much! I don't think I appreciated Notion enough after the firs time of downloading and was thinking about giving it another try, this inspired me even more.

[@vanceoliver7940]

Thank you so much! I am learning Notion and just started out on my KZbin journey. This is exactly what I needed. Downloaded the template and got started right away. I've made so much progress since utilizing your template. It's so well organized.

[@majesticquartz]

How did you download the template please? I clicked on the link and it goes to the website, but the template appears to be read only with no discernible link to download it to start using it???? EDIT - Doh, I found the answer, duplicate site and it copies the template to your profile in Notion. (for those wondering the same thing)

[@NothInG.909]

thank you for providing such a mind-blowing notion template. and hats off to you man, for your dedication and hard work which you are done in this video. and congratulation on the 1 Million sub

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

Right so this is amazing. I'd love to know how you organise your filming and footage but this will SUCH a help for me in day to day stuff, I've been needing something like this for a long while. I have ADHD anything that helps me stay organised simply is a great boon.

[@catoarce8859]

Ok. I have downloaded Notion. I have spent the last hour following your step by step. Es ist tolle wie praktisch und nutzlich der Prozess ist. Immer mehr Ideen fur meine Projekte fallen. Du bist die hammer. Gracias amigo.

[@nickcormier]

This is one of the best Notion videos I've found so far, good job!

[@LindseyUijleman]

This was so helpful, I have never seen something like this. Thank you so much for sharing it! Your videos are amazing and I cant wait to see what more you can do

[@ShaniaShania]

Thank you sooo much for also providing the free workspace template! I'm excited to put your very helpful tips into practice. Thanks again!! ✨💕

[@Spencertarring]

Serious amount of work goes into these videos! Nice work!

[@NishantRajKetan]

Mind Blowing.... I just loved it The way you organise Everything Plan Everything is Amazing. I'm going to start using Notion From Today. Thank you so Much ❤️❤️

[@vitorgames9797]

Thanks man, please keep working in your content, i love.

[@ShaunAndersen]

Wow. I was just thinking today how I should use Notion more effectively to improve my KZbin flow! Thank you so much for this video!!

[@digikaininja5]

it is fantastic ,detailed and bloody overwhelming. You have the gift of clarity. I wouldnt even get this far but i will start with simple things to do on NOTION and take it from there. Awesome video and thank you for taking us through with the workflow. All so detailed and coincise. All the best for future videos and wishing you and the viewers a very happy new year.

[@DanaesDialogue]

Thank you for this. This template and detailed explanation is EXACTLY what I needed!!! Gonna attempt to set this up now. Lol

[@javigodoy824]

Just started my channel about 2 months ago and i can confidently say you have completely changed the way i look at making youtube videos thank you so much

[@DarcysBusiness]

[@LauraBC]

Incredible video! I was using Notion but not at its full potential AT ALL!! This is gold! I love your template too. It's going to help me a lot with my channel! Super well explained and soooo damn grateful for it! GRACIAS! :)

[@gudrunfliegner7920]

Danke für den Tipp mit dem Programm und das Teilen deines Workspace!

Thank you so much for providing the template and for your workflow. This is so helpful to speed up my workflow, as I really love Notion and just got started with my KZbin channel.

[@allisonarethas235]

Great video Niklas! I was waiting for it! Thank you for sharing your process

[@POLINALEV]

Amazing organisation and job ! Thank you !

[@basdeblok2515]

So useful, I never heard of it but it will definitely be a good use for me as a (not so structured) filmmaker! Awesome content like always man!

[@passingintooblivion4914]

Omfg. This is some hard work! 🐐

[@all.ways.active]

This in-depth explanation of your video creation workflow was so helpful. Thanks for the valuable and actionable content👍

[@1monagale]

Thank you! I used your links, signed up and downloaded your templates to get started. Now to watch - your How to organize Final Cut files. Big help, your videos are pro!

[@safetyrep465]

Vielen Dank! Thanks so much for that video - it's a 100% value that you get for investing your time in watching this. I was working with asana before and then switched to any.do because of its apple watch integration but it is somehow not the real deal, unclear, and not very intuitive to use. I checked out Notion after watching this video and so far I am really in love! Being organized is the backbone of every business - so the information in this video is not only relevant to our fellow filmmakers but really all digital creatives and beyond out there. Cheers!

[@iamnickpommells]

Really love the energy you put into these videos . ✌🏾

[@adamgarceau]

I've been wanting to use Notion to be more organized, but it just seemed so overwhelming to get started. Thanks for making this video and creating the template! I'm definitley using this in the future.

[@DJLENERD]

Very comprehensive guide! Thanks for this great video!

[@ElizaWong]

I didn't realise this existed and this is a game changer. Thank you so much for explaining Notion, and showing your beast planning skills 🔥

[@-motivationar970]

[@AlinaMinkova]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!

[@tanner_films22]

I thought I'd seen all your videos, but I guess not this one! I started using notion the way you did in your daily routine video and I FREAKING love it! Thank you so much for helping us out and giving inspiration!
