![]() You can see it’s already populated some of the information up here. So every month I start with a fresh content plan, so I can plan out the type of content that I want to create every month and make sure everything’s in one place, it’s all going to get scheduled on the right timeline. And I want to show you today what my content plan template looks like. I’m actually going to delete all of this here to bring me back up to my list of templates. I’m not going to get too much into this today. And again, a database is just a collection of pages inside of Notion that you can filter and access. ![]() There are tons of options to embed content, bullet points, numbered lists, toggles, quotes, dividers, all these different things, and then you can add databases within pages too. And what’s also really neat is I can check these off. You could add a new page embedded in this page, a to do list, right? So I could have task, task, task. And this gives you a list of all the different things you can add to your page. Anytime you want to add new content to a Notion page and you want it to be something other than just plain text, you’re going to hit the forward slash key. Um, I can create headings, right? So I could have a heading one and then subtext and I can do bullet points. So I could say, hello, how are you? I can create. I can literally start typing just like a document. So you can start with an empty page here.Īnd this is what I mean when I say it’s just like Google Docs. That’s okay you’re eventually going to figure out what works for you? What fields you like to have and how you like to set things up inside of your Notion account to make it really, really custom. So if that’s you, don’t feel like you can’t catch up or that you are starting from zero. I’ve got a lot of different options here, but when I first started with Notion, I didn’t have any templates. ![]() And this is actually my project template. We’re just starting with a super blank page here. So that way you can sort things and filter things and find exactly what you’re looking for or create multiple views so that you’re only looking at the most important content. And again, if you’re not a hundred percent sure what Notion databases are, it’s just basically a collection of pages, tasks, projects, anything that you’d like, you can store in a database. I’ve created a bunch of templates here for different types of project that actually lives within a projects database. ![]() You can title the page anything that you want to. So this is what a blank page looks like inside of Notion. Let’s hop over to my laptop and I’ll show you what I’m talking about. If you’re a beginner Notion user, you might feel a little bit lost, but let me know if you’d like me to create an Intro to Notion video so you can see how I set up this template and other templates that I use in my business. The setup today that I’m going to show you is probably a little more on the complex side of things. And I love that you can make it as complicated or as simple as you’d like it to be. I would say that Notion is like a combination of Google Docs, Trello, Airtable, and Asana all rolled into one. Now I’ve tried a lot of different productivity tools, everything from Trello to Asana to Click Up.Īnd the one I finally settled on that I use to manage everything in my business and a lot of things in my personal life, too. ![]() We’re going to be talking about how to simplify your content calendar with one really cool productivity tool.

Purchase my super simple Notion to-do list templates (and if you want all my content planning templates you can add them after checkout). ❤️ Love Notion, but don’t love setting it all up for the first time? As a tech-savvy entrepreneur, I can organize and automate my business down to the minute, and it helps me keep my team on track. Notion provides the perfect combination of all these core functionalities and more. While I used to work across several platforms (think Google Docs for content, Asana for to-do lists, DropBox for file sharing), I now do everything in Notion. It’s what I use to organize both my business and my personal life, and I genuinely don’t know what I’d do without it. I’ve tried just about every project management software out there (Asana, Trello, ClickUp, you name it), but Notion is my favorite by far. Ready to get organized? Here’s how I use Notion to create (and stick to) my content calendar. That’s why I use Notion to brainstorm, plan, and create all my content across my social media channels. If you’re working with a team, it’s even trickier! If you’re posting content to multiple platforms, it can be tricky to stay organized and create a cohesive content strategy. ![]()
