I’ve used Michael Hyatt’s Full Focus Planner for a while, along with some others, but I’ve slowly been working on ways to create much of that experience in Notion. Here’s what I have so far:
Here is the Notion template if you want to try it for yourself: https://www.notion.so/greenmellen/Planner-2d47afe6eb53423aa74cc7d1f8f4beb8
Thanks so much for this post! I’m a newbie to Notion and trying to go all in. I’ve used the FFP before and I’d like to try to integrate. I’m trying to get a task list going. How do I make tasks repeated? Also, if I’ve created a database to track habits, how would I link that to my week to make a new one each time? Thanks again!
Good questions!
For recurring tasks, I have a little hack that works pretty well. For any given task, I have a dropdown status of “Open”, “Complete” or “Recurring”. Anything that is “Complete” is hidden, and the others are shown (based on project, date, whatever).
When an “Open” task is finished, I mark it as “Complete” and it goes away. However, when a “Recurring” task is finished, I simply change the date to the next recurrence of it. It works pretty well.
As for tracking habits, I’ve been adding those to my daily database. I’ve made a column called “exercise” that I have a dropdown for (“Run”, “Work out”, “Hike”, whatever), and I have another column called “Reading” that I linked to my books database and update when I read things. I covered that a bit in this post: https://www.notiontips.com/dont-keep-your-notion-data-in-silos/
In your case, just add more columns to the daily database for your various habits, and then you can easily see your progress in there.
