UI of my task management system in Notion

 In order to be faster in note-taking and task management, I have designed a model that has allowed me to work quickly on both personal and professional projects.

The key component of this system is utilizing Notion as the primary management tool. While I also use other tools like Keep for occasional notes and subscribe to Microsoft 365 (taking advantage of spliiit.com to reduce costs by sharing the account), Notion remains the central hub of my workflow.

My management method in Notion, refined over time, involves minimizing the use of shortcuts in the left sidebar. These shortcuts enable easy navigation through notes categorized using the traditional GTD (Getting Things Done) system by David Allen, supplemented by Tiago Forte's PARA system.

I have a direct shortcut to the PARA system, followed by GTD categorized notes. Admittedly, this approach is exceptional and the result of years of trial and error. While there are areas for improvement, such as integrating software development tasks, I am in the planning stages of incorporating these ideas.

Additionally, I have shortcuts for daily tasks, calendar view, inbox, PARA System, life categories, labels, recent captures, and recently edited items. The depth of each category is significant, contributing to a comprehensive management system.



This system allows me to navigate and manage swiftly across all areas of my life. While not perfect, it provides a framework for diving into each area and working on improvements.

How to progress faster in creating online products

Thinking about how to create digital products that generate additional income and allow me to leave my work schedule is really difficult, especially when you have many projects in your personal life that take up your time. But the ideal would be to put all the effort into it and not stop until you achieve it. Currently, I try to dedicate 1 hour and 30 minutes to practicing English with Duolingo, but I think I still don't organize myself in the right way to finish my other project of learning react.js. I have spent about 365 hours on Duolingo this year, and my English has improved quite a bit, but still not enough to write a text as long as this one, for which I will use AI with ChatGPT, that's the truth.

I can read it, but I still lack. I am only at a B1 level according to the Duo plan. But still, many words still escape me.

But well, at this point, I am progressing little by little.

I also need to focus on completing Fernando Herrera's ReactJS course, which is about 100 hours. However, when it comes to creating projects, I still fall short. I don't know what's happening. Later, I will have to study the NodeJs course to have a strong foundation on the topic and move forward. I also need to start accumulating ideas for apps that solve problems. Some I have noted down, and others will come to me.
