Quick clarification! The romance plotting template is based on the beats in Gwen's book, but the genius of this template was created originally for Trello by Tasha Harrison and then adapted to Notion by my friend, Robin Covington! I should have given them a shout-out in the video, so I'm correcting that here. To find links to the Trello Board created by Tasha and the Notion Template from Robin, look in the description above!! Thanks so much for watching!

@HeartBreathings 3 года назад

I know a lot of you have been waiting for this walkthrough! I hope you enjoy seeing how I'm using Notion. be sure to let me know if you want to see more of a tutorial or updates later on how it's working out. And be sure to subscribe if you aren't already!!!

@angelalewis6146 3 года назад

@@NeyomFriday I agree, another tutorial would be awesome.

@krishnahemminger 3 года назад

I would love to see a start from scratch and how I use it over time. Making this a mini-series would be such a cool idea to update every once in a while.

@contrapasso 3 года назад

TIP! If you make a new file property in your galleries, you can put the cover images in there and select under Properties > Card Preview the new property (it will have a little paperclip icon). That way you don’t have to have the images in the body of your pages! I’m so happy you uploaded this! Notion is the best thing ever. I’d love to see more Notion videos in the future 🥰

@TheCoffeeLife 3 года назад

I want to get into using Notion so bad but it just feels OVERWHELMING to set up and I'm a paper/pen to-do lists/planner/note-taker person so digital planning and organization doesn't compute easily. lol

@swadethewriter 3 года назад

I was the same way! What helped me establish my notion and justified it outside of my many notebooks and paper lists were things that needed to be adapted easily. So something as simple as movies and tv shows I want to watch. That list existed in many forms throughout my notebooks and it was tedious to copy them over and over again. On notion however I have that running list that I can easily add, delete, and tick off after watching it. Its also fantastic for long term planning in case your lists or journals only go through a few months but you want plan things that are years in advance. It feels a little intimidating, but its worth it for the productivity, time management, and benefit of organization. [not paid for by notion promise, I just think its real neat]

@KimPinelli 3 года назад

I just write quite a long comment and now it‘s gone for some reason 😂 I‘m a total pen and paper girl, but also a digital organizer and Notion lover and let me tell you, they work beautifully together! If you‘re overwhelmed start by watching RU-vid videos for inspiration and check out a lot of the templates floating around out there! There is also a Notion Discord, FB community and Subreddit where anyone can ask and answer questions, that‘s a good place to go if you get stuck! Or just ask creators directly!

@poms_beats 3 года назад

me too, but I'm using it now and it's sooooooo awesome. I would say start small. just use whatever you know or can use. once you learn more, you can change things around. it's really fluid. i started with the kanban thing cause i'm used it from Trello and i loooove how you can see it in diff views. hope you try it out! it's actually super awesome

Thanks, Sarra, this was super-helpful! I've been playing around with Notion a bit, but hadn't realised you can slice'n'dice the databases like that!

@SennaCrow 3 года назад

K rhought about Notion and was going to pass it up until this. Then I checked the price, and it's WAY better than some of the other programs I am using, while still maintaining a lot of the same concepts and extra usability. I'm sold. Thanks, Sara! And I would love to see more vids like this one. I'm a total digital planner type of person. I like paper, but it's slower, more meticulous, and harder to compile info from. Also, I work at a prison and they dont allow internet or computers or devices. One-stop programs really centralize life and all aspects of hobbies and mutliple parts of businesses and life tasks. Again, thanks so much! I'm gonna start using Notion the moment I'm done with all my accounting research and setup.

This was a great intro to Notion. I'd love to see more about the setup. I love the way you make your videos and process look easy when I know you really spend a good bit of time prepping, planning, executing. You are awesome in your generosity! I've seen a bunch of authors embrace Trello, Onenote,and other products but those tools never seem to be very flexible in practice with more than one area and are a bit tedious once I've fallen down the rabbit-hole of time it takes for setup. This looks promising! I'd love to put my process, kanban, and tracking/ bible, marketing management all in one place ...semi painlessly. I like the approach you've taken to put the framework in and basically test through with the WIP first. Are there options for printing sections and exporting? ~Thanks. :-)
