Some books may overlap with the reading map. Currently Reading will have all the books I’m reading at the moment. These tables are pretty self-explanatory.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE WITH NOTION UPDATE
If I finish a book or DNF a book before the week is up, I can update the end date and tag it accordingly. This is giving me time to take notes (something I’ve recently started doing) and accounts for possible no-reading days (when life gets too hectic or work takes all my time). Right now, I auto-assign all books a week to complete. I took my TBR list and dropped them in this calendar, assigning them a start and an end date. I have too many books on my TBR and thanks to some reading slumps here and there, I won’t be able to finish all of them before the end of this year….at least not without tracking my reading and scheduling. Raise your hand if you needed some help tracking your reading this year? From there, I begin to set it up on WordPress and tag the content calendar card accordingly. Once I’ve decided on what day I would like to post the contents of the card, I grab it from the Completed column and drop it onto the content calendar. Finally, when I’m completely done drafting, it gets placed in the completed column. Once I open the card up and begin to draft the content for the said post, it gets moved to the In Progress Column. All cards go into the Not Started column. Instead of jotting things down on a piece of post-it Bandit(my puppy) will surely get his teeth on, I can drop a card in here and move it to the Blog post backlog when I decide to work on it! Blog Post Back LogĪny Blog post ideas that I decide to draft from the Idea’s kanban board, go through here before being placed in the Content Calendar. The Idea’s board from Hurricane and Drizzle’s post has been an absolute lifesaver! It allows me to neatly organize the ideas by the type it will be under and, over time, becomes a nice pool to choose from. If I change my mind about when I want to publish a blog post, I can easily move it to a later date or drop it into the Blog Post Backlog Board. Type of Post: Book Tag, Update, Book Discussion, Wrap Up, Review, Haul, Other.From there, I assign it the missing tags it needs.Ĭurrently, the tags I am using for organization are: I can simply grab a card from the Blog Post Backlog, and drop it onto the date I want it to be due. Having a large-scale visual of when things are due, with tags too, has been so helpful. Having a content calendar makes my blog post planning 10000x easier! I don’t know why I never tried making one on Google calendar before, BUT now that I have Notion, it’s been my go-to this month. In the post, they had shown how they use a Content Calendar and an Ideas Kanban board I decided to give both those things a try! You can read on how they use Notion by clicking on the link above!

Notion has a free plan, but you can upgrade depending on your needs!
