Before this blog post existed, where all of you have access, it lived in a safe place, where only I could access it, and that place is Notion in collaboration with Google Docs.
If you don’t know, Notion is an organizer of almost everything that can be organized. The application in its free version is excellent, and already meets the demand to organize a person’s life very well.
I recently changed all my Second Brain and organization system to Notion, but today I’m going to talk about blog organization.
I created a dedicated space for the blog inside my Notion using a already suggested Blog Editorial Template where I register:
- Project goal: a place where I make clear the goal I want to achieve with the blog. It works almost as a reminder of why I’m on this challenge;
- Blog basic information: web address, days when the posts comes out in here and on the newsletter to always have everything at hand, very easy;
- Good references: I’m making a collection of other blogs where I can look for new references or tips, to present better information here and to develop myself as a writer;
- Topics to write: where I record a list of various topics that I want to write one day. This space serves as a creative repository, a spark of new ideas;
- Written Texts: Before writing on the blog, I always make a draft in Google Docs. I then link the document file to my specific Notion page (yes, there are nice Notion connections with major productivity tools), then I revise and post it.This control helps me a lot in organizing and viewing what I have written and what has already been posted.
Notion is an excellent program for many scenarios. You can look for several videos on YouTube about how Notion works, but my recommendations are Mariana’s Corner and Ali Abdaal’s channels.
This is a way that has made a lot of sense for my blog organization. Would you like to hear more about how I use Notion to organize my life? Drop me a comment below!
