[Part 2] Step by step process to 10x your productivity
Tutorial on how to use tools to increase your productivity
This is hands-on content born from years of trial, error, and refinement. I’ll take you step by step through the tools I use to track my processes and show you exactly how to apply them to your own personal growth.
This is the second part of the tutorial. For the first part, follow this link.
This week we’ll go more in-depth - how to go from monthly goals to weekly targets, to daily tasks directly in your calendar. All of it using Notion.
What to expect
A hands-on tutorial on practically translating your goals into daily action items.
Ingredients checklist
To start, make sure you have the following items:
You have read this previous tutorial and followed all the steps
Step-by-step recipe
1 - Open the template ‘2025 Yearly Goals’
2 - Quarterly Goals section - Let’s look at it together.
This is the first section, where you store your Quarterly goals. Click on any of those pages and write down your goals. At the end of each term, write down what you accomplished and where you fell short. Tip: Be honest with yourself.
3 - 2024 Goals section - here you write down your yearly goals.
While the Quarter goals part was for analysis, this is more of a visual reminder for you about your targets. Tip: Visualize your best possible scenario and write it down. Most people overestimate what they can do in one day and underestimate what they can do in one year.
4 - Dashboard Sneak Peek section - here we make things happen.
While an optimistic yearly goal might sound scary (ie. write 100.000 words, basically a book), it gets way more digestible if you break it down by month (write 8.333 words) or by week (write 2.000 words) or by day (write 274 words). For reference, you just read 303 words. Not a big deal, right?
This is what this section will help you with.
Each weekly target is directly linked with the relative monthly goal.
5 - Daily tasks directly in your calendar
Each task added to the calendar view will show automatically on your calendar.
And that’s it. Hope you enjoyed it! Let me know in the comments if you have any doubts.
