Notion LifeManager

Overview

Are you looking for a way to organize your projects, tasks, finances, OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), content, travel, and overall life?

Whether you're like me and have tried thousands of apps for this, or you're just getting started organizing your life in a better way, this Notion template will provide you with everything you need.

I've spent lots of money on different subscription apps to manage various aspects of my life and realize I could build everything myself in Notion. It took me a while, though.

Getting this once ensures you'll no longer need to pay for different app subscriptions to manage your personal finances, projects, content, goals, traveling, or anything else.

I'm an architect (of buildings), former Project Manager, Notion power-user, and coder who spent several hours building, testing, and improving this framework.

You can get it instantly, for free.
