I just dropped $70 something on a direct competitors template and was not pleased with the overly complicated layout and the work I had to put into getting some of the features like recurring tasks to function. I'm pleased to say that I picked up your template right after and I'm blown away! This template is amazing. Everything just works. I'm a long-time Obsidian user, and made the switch to Notion because I don't have time to fiddle with things anymore. Your guides and overall packaging of the template down to the PDFs are on-point.

OMG! just bought the system without even knowing a bit about notion. I am a trial and error kinda guy, so to learn anything, its a hassle that I need to go through that I need atleast a couple tries to fail, learn from it and learn it fully. Currently at 5th iteration of seeing this video, quite an informative video. I am learning this powerful system bit by bit. Sometimes its the notion and sometimes its the life OS that I learn. But I am blown away at how much integrated this system is. I have so many ideas on how can I use this system. This is one smart all in one place to manage everything, tasks, goals, habits all of it dude. Where bad you been Simon. I love you so much for gifting me this. This is a steal compared to price I paid and what I will reap out of it.

Hi Simon, first of all thanks for the work put in this system, I'm using it every day. I would like to make a suggestion regarding the financial tracker. I think it would be nice if in the expenditure database we could use sub items. For example we have the main item as FOOD and the sub items would be for example the various shops where I would buy the food. In the amount column of the sub items I would add the value as I am buying. After that in the column Amount of the parent item (FOOD) I would like to appear by it's own the sum of those sub item amounts. Therefore I could simply check if I am on budget or not (if I have established for example at the beginning of each month a budget). I have tried this and currently the database it is not doing the auto sum of the sub items. I would have to manual change each time I go shopping the amount of the main page (FOOD in this example) to check if I am on budget. Hope I was clear in communicating this idea... Anyway thanks again for the work! Cheers!

Thanks for downloading and great to read! :) yes - I have a new video on the financial tracker planned - but it will be a little while off - likely late November. Just been filming videos on notes and knowledge at moment. For bi-weekly recurring payments - you can use a recurring no database template as per recurring tasks instructions. For variable output reports - I have included them for individual items - but until I look at updates on formulas / roll ups for the balance database section of it - it would be best for you to look into creating a report formula there. Sorry not to be more help right here - but need a little time to work on this :) Hope that helps a bit! Thanks! S

Is this the best one out there? I am still looking for one. So far, your second brain version seems to be the most thoughtful and comprehensive one. I am still looking if I will purchase one and get started with or just keep exploring and make my own simplified version. Maybe learning and following the startegy from other experts is a better way than exploring on my own. Question, how did you come out with this final version of Life OS? I mean, did you do tons of researches and follow best practices and stuff like that? How long did you take to finish them up? Lastly, if I am getting the Life OS now but in the future if I need to get the Creative OS, can it be installed on the Life OS project? Thanks.

@BetterCreating 9 ай бұрын
Yes absolutely - duplicate a task view and then change the filters to do this: so probably where do date is yesterday or in the last week and done is checked essentially. Or you could use the new automations for adding a completed date in a new date column that adds ‘NOW’ when the status is changed to complete - video coming out on just that next week! :)

@BetterCreating Жыл бұрын
Hi Claudia - have replied in discord and on email to you 🤗 - it is one of two things - 1. the synced blocks have either not copied in some places or they are just indexing in Notion workspace due to the amount of new pages added in one go - like search - you may find they all turn up over night! I had this kind of thing happen before when duplicating. 2. There is a bug with Notion duplicating synced blocks. If it is the later - I will update the guides and affected synced blocks to be simple duplications and replace. Then it will all be fine. Either way - it will be fixed soon and you will see what you need, or you can re duplicate it when I’ve edited! Happy weekend - speak soon. :)

Notion lacks the advanced linking features of other apps like Obsidian, and I’m fairly sure you can’t even add hashtags to pages in Notion without some kind of database. The search is basic, and you can’t filter results. It’s basically just a search box where you type a word and it gives a location of pages that include that word. Other advanced apps have features like sorting searches by date, category, folders, hashtags, etc. when it comes to storing large amounts of information, it’s fine, but the pages all feel siloed. You end up feeling like everything needs to be in a database (which requires manual upkeep) or you feel like you need to hunt down the specific page you’re looking for. In other apps, you can discover and link ideas intuitively through backlinking and unlinked references. Notion has page linking, but that’s it. It’s adequate but not a “second brain” in my opinion. Notion is pretty good at most things, but it’s definitely not the best at very many of them. One other issue with Notion comes to mind. It’s a highly customizable ecosystem that’s basically on its own island. That sounds like a good thing until you look beneath the surface. What happens if you ever want to leave Notion? Your data and pages are all locked into this customized system. It would be a serious pain to export your second brain from Notion. You also have to ask yourself why the template is for Notion rather than say another productivity app. The answer is that there’s no money in selling productivity systems that tell you to go to the App Store and download Todoist to track your tasks. There’s no money in telling you to use a calendar app that comes on your phone to track your events. There’s no money in telling you to use Apple Notes or Day One for journaling. This brings me to my last point about having an all in one system in Notion. As soon as you realize that a task manager app is more efficient and intuitive that 99% of the Notion templates out there, you’re going to begin cheating on your Notion productivity system. Eventually, you’ll stop using it entirely. As much as I’m hating on Notion, it’s not all bad. This system seems legitimately nice. I really like his work, or I wouldn’t be on this video. My reservations have more to do with the Notion ecosystem than this template.

It can be edited a fair bit I think. I would say you want a bit of Notion knowledge to understand what filters and references are used for the dashboard and links between databases - but it’s Notion - so anything is possible. This is essentially a set of databases linked together with a load of filtered dashboards serving them. So you could also create your own separate dashboard views from the databases in it. :)

I have a question about the 'Notion Finance Tracker: Income & Expenses' section. Does it have the ability to track savings and investments? Can you have income and expenses linked to a bank account in Notion? From the overview you gave, it seems targeted more towards freelancers than a personal finance dashboard? I love the look of this template but I'm looking at more of a personal finance overview. is this something you are looking at adding to overtime or maybe doing a separate template?. It might be nice that each section could be bought separately, kind of pick n mix style (not sure if that's doable with the database structure) it's a big investment up front if you could buy a few parts and see how it goes and add sections to it over time. Thanks :)
@BetterCreating Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the thoughts and question. :) Yes - I think for Bank and investments connection a. It would need an API integration to be added by users and b. I don’t know if Notion’s privacy strength is enough for many people to use it for this kind of thing. The tracker in the template is definitely built to focus more on tracking expenses and income for freelancers and a small cRM style process for creators or people who want to manage clients simply. :) that said - it’s a template so I’m sure people could adapt to more involved needs if they choose!

@BetterCreating 8 ай бұрын
Absolutely - whilst life OS is a personal system it easy adapts to sharing. I use it with my editors and VA. tasks have an ‘assignee’ property already. And it would be super easy to add a ‘Person’ column / property to any other databases you wish to share, and even create filtered views by person as a personal home page if you wanted. The main issue would be you would need a paid Notion account to share a workspace / team space together - but the lowest paid plan is plenty. Hope that helps!

I would first like to start with tasks, and a content manager. Is there a way to just focus on those pieces to begin with, then as I have "mastered" those continue to other areas.

Hi Cara, thanks, and yes it could be that way indeed! Yes - the best option is to just use the elements that work for you and start small - and then build up from there.

I have been using Notion for about 6 months in a way that it helped me organize many of my personal and professional activities in a minimalist's way, but missing out on the full benefits / potential of Notion. I will also join the discord server and do as much as self learning through you very detailed videos and asking the community on the discord server as well. Much Grateful. Much appreciated.

I just tried to purchase but it says that it is not currently for sale!

Hi Michael - ah! Just spotted: one of the three buy buttons hadn’t updated on the website: now fixed! Good spot. But you can buy! It’s been a busy sales week! Thanks for spotting it :)

I’ve gone to your site, and it’s stipulates that this isn’t for sale. Any advice would be cool

I’m not sure what you mean here? It’s been for sale for 2 months and sales are going through today…? Go to bettercreating.com/LifeOS and you can download…

You’re absolutely right, I was looking in the wrong place I am officially a banana. I’ve purchased the template and I’m stoked to start using it. Thanks for all your hard work. 😂🎉
