here's my routine for today:

Notionblr's Ultimate Activity Tracker

The best and final version of my Hobby Tracker is here! And honestly you can use it to track pretty much any kind of activity, so Activity Tracker is more acurate. I've made my own variations with very small and simple tweaks to track my cleaning schedule, my adulting tasks like paying rent and whatnot, as well as my hobbies, of course.

I think by now you know how to use this, and it's pretty self-explanatory, but if not, go to the original Hobby Tracker post, or just visit the actual template on Notion, where I have detailed instructions.

I actualize my Notion setup with the August theme (blue colored, matches my new hair).

I'm back in Notion since July and using it to organize my personal, university, and work things. I'm still changing things in the setup to adapt to my needs.

- an explanation

ok so for those of you who know what notion is, i bet you’re v excited for this (heck i am!) but for those of you who don’t, notion is an app you can get on all platforms (and even access from the internet) and it can really do anything. people use it as digital planners and organizing their “second brain.” in this post, i’m giving a little update on my home page and how i use it in my life almost every single day.

so here is what my home page looks like! she’s pretty cute ngl hehe ok so! the top line i just have a little quote/reminder for myself and a link directing to my ~ideal self~ basically a page where i talk about what i want to do with my life and stuff like that. it’s kinda cheesy but oh well. on the far left, i have my most reached pages like my to do lists, a page for random thoughts that i categorize later, my weekly reviews, and a couple other things! in the middle, there is a board with some of my notes that i need to review (please don’t mind how many there are, i’m behind and i’m trying to work out a routine to review my notes so it’s a work in progress) then, on the far right, i have a board for people i should reach out to since i haven’t talked to them awhile! mostly friends, family, and teachers from back home :)

if you scroll down a little farther on this home page, you see on the far right, a board that says “last...” this is to help me track the last time i did laundry, exfoliated my face, vacuumed, and other tasks like that! since i’m in college, i just try to get to those things whenever i can so i don’t have a set routine (aka i don’t do all the things on one day like i did when i was in high school bc hi i don’t have that much time). then, near the bottom left, i have a section called “reference.” i don’t access these pages that often but they’re good to have. they’re pretty straight forward. then i have two pages under personal projects: my blog (ha oops haven’t done that much) and then photography (aka a list of photos to edit). then on the right i have my master calendar for school. this has my deadlines and test dates so it’s vvvvv important

here’s a look at my “last...” page! basically what i just talked about above. with notion, i can have it notify me when i need to do something (uses the “overdue” section). it’s really hard to explain super quick but i guess that’s the best way i would describe it. if you want to learn more about making tables and stuff like that in notion, i would go to youtube! i really like watching ali abdaal’s videos on notion so i would suggest checking those out!

this is my “dreaming” page! it houses what my idea day(s) looks like in addition to my goals and my bucket list. i think it’s super important to have goals and stuff like this stored somewhere. i just chose to store it in notion!

and then here’s a glance at my “master to do list” page. i used this a lot more over the summer when i jsut had so much to do for college, packing, and other stuff! i really love how i organized it into categories so i can easily see what i need to do. it just keeps it really organized so i don’t have a never ending to do list. 

so yeah! that’s a quick look at my notion home page and a couple other pages linked in it! soon i’m going to make a post about how i use notion for school because i have a whole separate page just for that! i absolutely love notion and i could go all day about it. i think everyone should try it because a) it’s free and b) students that have a school email (like .edu) can get the pro plan for free. i have a whole bunch of other posts about notion and i’ll probably make a bunch more so just look around for them! 

let me know if you have any questions or want me to do more posts about notion!!!
