My weekly review! I also do a similar monthly and quarterly reviews, all in my connected system. I do mine using Notion, but you really could really use any checklist. Do you do a weekly review? What’s in your system?

[@khalilahd.]

I JUST got notion and have no idea how to use it I just know it’s supposed to change my life 😂 so this is perfect for me

[@AhsanteB]

Yussss, it definitely takes some getting used to, but once you get the swing of it, it's so useful!

[@storiedsoundscapes]

The Complete Life OS template looks amazing, Ahsante! I purchased your Ultimate To-Do List template and spent today customising it with my info. I'm excited to utilise it going into the second half of this year to implement desired habits and track my progress! 🙌🏾 Thanks so much for all of the hard work you put into creating these templates! 🙏🏾

[@BlinkPopShift]

I started bullet journaling to try and achieve this level of routine but after just a week I realized that being chronically ill means I have huge chunks where I do nothing. Tracking days and days of failing to do even a single task feels worse than not tracking at all. I have no clue what to do about it.

[@AhsanteB]

That makes sense, I get how when you’re tracking weekly activity and then have a zero-energy days, looking back through can be demoralizing. I can’t speak to chronic illness so take this as you will, but I will offer two ideas for framing it differently: 1. I’m trying to think of this not as a tool to maximize the volume of work I can get done, but to observe my own abilities realistically so that I can plan accordingly or scale back my expectations of myself. Before using Notion I had a massive problem with overburdening myself without realizing I’d put too much on my plate, because I wasn’t seeing all the steps mapped out, and then becoming demoralized when I didn’t get through my plans. Now I’m using this to see what’s actually manageable for me and I’m better able to build in grace time and allow for off days. I've done a lot of scaling back my own expectations of myself this year, especially with reducing the heft of the videos I plan to produce. 2. I like that each day has an “effective” score rather than a “productive” score. Sometimes the most effective thing I can do that day is rest, or take care of my emotional needs by spending time with people I love. It’s about getting the most necessary thing done, and sometimes what I really need is a break, and so I try to approach it in a holistic way rather than just business-focused task completion. Over time I added “Wellness” as its own task type (different from “Produce”) and “Social” as its own zone to try to honor those things.

@@AhsanteB I love this way of thinking about it. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@keegan9935]

Okay you've finally convinced me to try out Notion!

[@AhsanteB]

Ayyyyyy! We love to see it!

Thanks for this video ! I purchased your ultimate to do list template and it really helped my ADHD brain... And the weekly review might really help me too, so thank you ! As for the "inbox clear/clean/plan" template, do you use a regular Notion to-do list template for that or did you create your own from scratch ? Do you create a new one every week ? I'm not very good with the creation part of Notion for the time being so I'm very interested in how you did that part !

[@AhsanteB]

So glad the ultimate to do list was helpful for you! 🎉 For this weekly review template, yes I did create that myself as a fancy color-coded checklist with drop down elements. But I don't need to create it from scratch every time because I've made it a template within my "Weekly" database. So every time I add a new Weekly entry, I can apply the template and the page with the checklists will appear.

@Ahsante the Artist Thank you !! :)
