NOTION is doing wonders for me!
Hello friends, so you all know my passion for the personal finance space as I know implementing small tweaks in your daily routine will have far lasting impact on the generations to come.
However, we should also know that investing and savings although are very important aspect of personal finance, having high income is even more important first step to become wealthy. Usually people focus on savings and investments as the sole savior – this concept needs to be corrected. Because of this misconception, people think they can simply invest in stock market or crypto for that matter and will become rich over very short period of time 🤑.
Today, I’ll not be talking about investing or savings, rather something which is very important to increase your productivity which in turn will increase your ability to earn more hence multiplying your options for investing opportunities.
I have been following multiple YouTubers for a long time now to improve my productivity skills so I can do many things within a given amount of time. Mind you – I am not a big fan of multi tasking, but in today’s world we have to have this skill.
The way my life is going around specially after the YouTube project, it needs a lot of planning otherwise I won’t be able to deliver on the promise of 3 videos per week along with 1 newsletter
The app I am going to be discussing today is NOTION – This is a free app for most of the purposes and even if you want to purchase, its not that expensive in case you want to scale.
As you can see a sample dashboard of the app above, this app is phenomenal in helping all sort of people including students, businessmen, professionals, content creators – you name it!
I have started incorporating the system into my work flow. To begin with I have added the workflow for creating YouTube videos, but eventually this will be part of my daily life which will include content creation, my 9-5 job & my personal life.
The idea is to let brain do its working i-e do constructive work rather than using brain for memorizing things. Notion helps me do this as eventually all my calendars will be synced but still have different aspect of my life in separate space. So, I will still be able to remember my anniversary and the calendar will tell me not to keep a shoot of my YouTube video the same day 🙂
Another great thing about notion is that its cross platform! So, in case I am on my Mac editing the videos and want something. to be updated for upcoming project, I can instantly update through web interface – at the same time it will be updated for my iPhone app and in case I want to access the same on my work PC – it will still be available and editable. This is simply too good scenario for me and anyone who is struggling multiple work flow in life.
I am still developing my work flow and a proper work flow might take months to create – but I am 100% sure that my life will be more productive after I set the flow properly. I will make a video on this soon based on the interest shown though this newsletter ☺️
For anyone wanting to make money out of this app, the good news is that if you master this properly, there are many high paid gigs available for NOTION’s projects on platforms like fiverr. Can you imagine, a custom dashboard is being setup by developers for at least $150. I have asked by 15 years old son to work on that 🙂
I would highly recommend you to also test this app (or any other productivity app for that matter) as once your productivity increases, the opportunity to enjoy life and make more money quadruples too.
Also, if you have not subscribed the channel, then please do so – as we are just 200 subscribers away from 10K and if we reach the milestone by next Sunday, I shall be doing the full newsletter on my YouTube journey with all charts before doing a video on that 🙂

Aoa Wali Sb, Despite my best effort I am feeling short of words to express my profound gratitude for the commendable contribution you are making in enhancing our financial awareness and self productivity. Thus making us a better self or time manager. How can you be ever thanked enough.
Notion appears to be a great app as you have put it. Earlier I was relying on ‘OneNote’ and Google ‘Tasks’ separately for various note taking and tasks management. But you have rightly introduced an all in one type app.
Wali Sb, I adore you for the self less and valuable contributions you are making at your channel and through his news letter in improving others’ lives.
Congratulations for being able to operate on the higher-level purpose of life. Few are blessed to achieve such noble podium.
Love and Regards
And please do make video’s on self productivity as well. You said that you will make such videos only if people showed interest. I request not to go by the no of comments. Unfortunately most of us are not in habit of appreciating the valuable content aka commenting. However the subject is critical for self management. So please do make such videos as well. Thanks and love
Thanks a lot for your kind words – I felt the traction for those videos was not taking place – but good that there is an audience 🙂
I will try to make such content soon – thanks a lot for kind words.
First of all , I would like to appreciate you for sharing such a complex subject in a very simple way. Secondly, though your articles I m being introduced to other concepts of life that previously I was not focusing on. Productivity is really a challenge these day, being a family man, one can’t imagine to takeout free time besides household chores. I would encourage you to make videos on productivity apps and share your personal experience. Just from last week, I started watching your videos and honestly, I m loving them as I do want to learn the art of Personal Finance. Best of luck and keep doing the good job 😉
Will do so in future for sure 🙂
