The Struggles with Traditional Organization Methods

As a naturally organized person, I used to rely on color-coded notebooks, agendas, and planners to stay on top of my tasks and appointments.

I know it’s like I grasped a system in Uni and never let go.

However, everything changed when I became a mom.

There aren’t enough colors, bullet points, or planner prompts that could keep me on course with tasks when I faced so many hiccups, schedule changes, or simply ran out of hours in the day.

The traditional methods that once worked for me suddenly became impractical and ineffective.

I truly felt like I was failing - at everything.

Why couldn’t I follow the same task scheduling I once had? Why did it feel like I always had a million priority tasks?

From erasing refrigerator calendars due to accidental bumps to forgetting my heavy agenda, I encountered numerous obstacles that made me question my organizational skills.

Exploring Alternatives: The Quest for a Functional System

Desperate to regain control of my life, I experimented with a ton of organization methods.

I tried multiple calendars, to-do list apps, and even bullet journaling. I even attended summits and online events to help with productivity.

While some approaches showed promise, they ultimately fell short of meeting my needs as a busy mom and left me feeling with more shame than when I started.

I yearned for a system that offered flexibility, accessibility, and comprehensive functionality.

And truth be told, it was a serious step in not conforming to what was in front of me.

I realized I needed to have something that worked FOR ME and MY needs.

The Discovery: Notion, the Game-Changer

After extensive online research, I stumbled upon Notion.

I initially decided to try Notion as a replacement for Evernote; it was such a powerful productivity tool and that was also REALLY beautiful.

Then as I delved deeper into its features - it was the holy grail that I needed - I explored its uses for ALL of the aspects in my life, and it helped to keep me more organized than ANYTHING else.

I realized that Notion could be my ultimate solution for organizing not only my personal life but also my business.

From Online Bullet Journal to Comprehensive System

Embracing Notion wholeheartedly, I transformed it into my online journal and so much more.

It became the hub for all my business information, project management, goal tracking, recipe collection, and more!

Can you imagine how much simpler life could be if you had all your tasks, goals, menus, and projects in one place?

With time and dedication, I created a system that truly supported me in every aspect of my life.

Notion became MY reliable companion.

Reminding me of tasks, providing necessary information, and freeing up physical space occupied by cumbersome agendas and notebooks.

Supporting Others: Customizing Systems for Business Success

My journey with finding the right system taught me the importance of personalized solutions and making the choice to find what was right for me.

When working with clients, I understand that one size does not fit all.

Through trial and error, I assist my clients in discovering, creating, and optimizing systems and platforms that align with their unique needs and business requirements.

The same way I experienced my journey of re-organizing my life at the stage I was in.

Each client's story involves and deserves a diverse range of approaches, adjustments, and final solutions tailored to their individual growth and scalability!

Having experienced the transformative power of a well-designed organizational system, I am dedicated to helping others find ease and synchronicity in their lives and businesses.

My struggles as a busy mom and business owner led me to discover Notion, a tool that revolutionized the way I organize, streamline, and find balance.
