#lifedashboard

If you’re anything like me, your brain never shuts up. Groceries. Appointments. Deadlines. That one bill you forgot. Oh, and don’t forget to drink water

I used to keep everything in my head. Or in 20 half-filled notebooks. Or on sticky notes I immediately lost. It. Was. Exhausting.

Then I discovered something game-changing: an AI-powered life dashboard.

It’s basically a one-stop digital control center for my entire life, and I can’t imagine managing my day without it anymore. Here’s what it looks like and how you can build your own, even if you’re not “techy.”

First: What Is a Life Dashboard?

Think of it like a command center for your brain. Mine includes:

To-do lists (auto-prioritized)

Weekly goals

Mood tracking

Habits I’m working on

Upcoming bills & reminders

Meal plans

Daily “brain dump” space

But the magic? AI helps update, organize, and even suggest things for me.

How AI Actually Helps

I use ChatGPT inside Notion (you can also use other tools like Motion or Tana) to:

Auto-sort tasks by priority or urgency

Turn a messy brain dump into organized bullet points

Suggest quick meals based on what’s in my fridge

Generate gentle habit nudges like: “You haven’t journaled in 3 days, want to add that to today’s plan?”

It’s like having an assistant who gets me, but doesn’t cost me $50/hr.

Why It Works for Mental Load

Here’s what changed for me:

I stopped forgetting little things (and mentally beating myself up for it)

I feel more in control, because I can see everything in one place

I have fewer tabs open (in my browser and my brain)

My mental load used to feel invisible but heavy. Now it’s visible, manageable, and way less stressful.

Want to Build One?

Start simple:

Create a Notion page or use a digital planner

Add sections: tasks, calendar, habits, notes

Connect with AI if possible (ChatGPT plug-ins or native Notion AI)

Customize it weekly to fit your life
