Project: Medium Monthly Posts (relational property).Milestone: Complete this Notion Setup post.Completing milestones should give a sense of yeah, baby! at the end of each week, and for now, I recommend putting at most 3–5 weekly milestones. ‘Milestones’ from each quarter move to each month, and each month move to each week like a manufacturing line - you get the idea. These are not singular tasks but achievable targets set in concentrated time blocks that serve to achieve progress for a ‘Project’. Replacing my previous task management database in Notion (more on that below), I now determine weekly, monthly, quarterly ‘Milestones’ for progress tracking.

They should be simple, clear, and feel natural to your top priorities. Personal Life or separated out to Finances, Health, Travel etc. In the PARA method, this is known as ‘Areas’ which can be as broad or specific as you would like, e.g.

Once they are set up, it’s maintenance-free and can be left as is. I simply create a database page, name the buckets, and give it a general description. These fields are consistent and are designed to relate with any/most information in Notion - essentially, everything has a ‘Bucket’.

Bucketsįirst off, I create a ‘Buckets’ database that are the general pillars or key areas of my life. This is an ongoing experiment that will iterate many times over I’m sure. The idea is a bit like a waterfall: taking unstructured, fragile ideas and thoughts and slowly trickling them down to increasingly tangible, actionable tasks - with an overview to see everything in place (at least until it breaks).
