you here in this model to take your productivity
to the next level. I'm ready, I hope you are. Let's start this model
in the next video. See you there.
2. CloudApp: extreme productivity: The first tool for extreme digital productivity
is called Clough app. Let me tell, let me
ask you something maybe happen to you
every day or every week when you receive
an email and you need use at all My dad to
reply to this e-mail. I need to write like a whole page of things with all the details
this person is asking. That will take me a long, long time for these cases. Or sometimes when you
need to see unit, take a screenshot and share that with your team with you by email with somebody that is negotiating with you
or with your clients, or when you need to record a specific thing on your
computer to show your clients, your, your partners,
your friends, your coworkers, how to
do it on something. Instead of writing
that by email, you can use a tool
called Clough at, and let me show
you how that works and how amazing this is. This is the best tool that I found to do this kind of
work and is the tool that I use every single day of my
business I do I use this with my team when
communicating with my with my other instructors,
with my students. When somebody asked me a question, heat on
the course saying, hey Diego, how do, how do I do this?
How do I do that? What is the best way to achieve this goal or to get
this result instead of writing down or my answer
that will take me forever. It will take me not forever, but a long time. To write a good answer. I just turned the software, the Cloud at software and
I record a quick video. You can use this software to record video like
this you can do, you can be on the camera
assign right now. You can record your computer
with you in the corner. You can put your
face in the current if you want or
just the computer. You can also take screenshots. You can record your voice
explaining something. And the good thing is
the one you record, let's say you record
your computer video on your computer. You share that, you can share
that with a simple link. So I'll show you how I do that. I will record the screen
here explaining something. And when I finish, I will have a specific link that
I can share with you, with my students,
with my clients. And that in that link,
when they click, they don't need to download a video that I don't
need to write an email. I can just send the link. And there you will have
the video that I recorded. You will have the
screenshot that I took, all the details about the specific message
I wanted to pass on. So let me show you. Let's go to the
computer right now here we are on Cloud app. The website is get
Cloud app.com. You'll see this is
the logo they have. And let's take a look
on the pricing before we start because students
are always worried, Diego, this is pay
how much it is. I just wanted to
try it for free. Let me show you here
they have a free plan and that's why I really like it. I recommend to my students. You see, they have
all these plans. I personally use the team plan, so I have the $8
a month per user. But you're going
to start for sure. And I recommend you to start for free with this option here. You'll see you can capture it. This is 100% free lifetime. You can capture
and share videos. You can do gift images, you can annotate it screenshots. So you can take a
screenshot and annotate to point put arrows
and all that. You can record up to
92nd videos for free. You can access your files. You have the analytics, see how many people
view your file. If somebody, if you send
me your file by email, let's say you say you can record a video and you send
the link to me. When I click and I
started watching that, you will receive an
email saying, Hey, somebody's watching your link, somebody's watching
your video, your image. That's the free plan to
create an account or all you need to do is click
here on Get, get them. Free download. So you will download the
software and I will demonstrate here the version
that I have for Mac. Here I am on the Mac and
you'll see here at the top I have the Cloud at
icon here on the top. If I click here, you'll see the drop-down menu. This works similar
when you are using a Windows PC or any
other computer. This is the same look, you, who you see that we
have some options here. At the top. The first one is record capture, gift, annotate or more. The one that I use
the most is record. So if I go here to record, I click there and I have the option to record
a full screen. I can record just a
section of my screen, which is what I usually do. But you can choose the holidays, the full screen if you want. You can choose this
green only also. Or you can choose to record
the screen and also use your webcam if you
want to show up in the corner of the recording,
that's an option. So let's go here. I will select the cam here, the FaceTime HD,
Let's say, excellent. You select the
microphone you are using for this.
You can use this. If you have a
laptop, you can just set the default microphone
off the computer. That's fine. And I will click on Select
Region because I select, I selected this option here. So select region, excellent. Now I will select the region I want to record on my video. Let's say I select this. Excellent. And you'll see that I'm
here on the corner. Here. I can do a Zoom here to make it a little bit
bigger or smaller. If I want, I can
move this anywhere. Let me see if I
can move it here. Yeah, I can move it anywhere. Excellent. Let's say I like this. And below C you see a bar. We have a video gift. We have these options. The video, I can just record a video if I want.
I can do a GIF. If I select the GIF option, it will record my screen
without our audio, just with the actual
image there on the, that I have on the
screen right now. And it will create a
GIF file that you can share with somebody if you want. Also, you have the settings
for the camera here. When I'm ready to
record, I click Start. Let's see. Now it's recording. You see the timer here, you see the microphone icon, the camera, everything is good. I can pause or when I'm
ready, Let's say I'm ready. I can do, let's see, I can do demonstration here. Okay, Let's go here
to the homepage. These are all the tools
that you can use. Excellent. And when I'm done,
I click on Finish. And now you see that this file is being
uploaded automatically. I just click on
Finish this file. This file is uploaded to the cloud app servers
and all I need to do now is just come here and
copy the link that I did. Just send these by email, send these by message, or by WhatsApp or for any, any, any means that you want. You can send these, send this link to your
clients or your students, to your partner, to your team. Here is the video
that we recorded. When I click on Play here, we can see the video and, and you see that the
quality is great. We have the camera here, all the details are here. This is fantastic because
it saved time when you need to explain
something instead of writing a long email, you can just turn this on if you don't want to show
up in the camera, you just disable
the camera here on the corner and you
record just the screen. You can tell the message
you want to tell, share what you want
to share and share the link with your team. Also, let's say I want
to take a screenshot. Let's go back to
the computer here. I go here to the Cloud App
and I can click on capture. I just want to take a
screenshot of these. Excellent description is done. And I go now to the Cloud app icon again
and you see the image here. I get the link and I just visit the link that
I sent to somebody. And you see here is the link,
here is the screenshot. This is very easy. With seconds. You take the screenshot, you don't need to
upload to some place, upload to Dropbox and share the link is
complicated knowledge. Just take the screenshot
is ready here for you on Cloud app and you are ready
to share with your team, with your clients
or with anyone. I hope you try this.
This is important guys. This is a good
tool that can save you hours and hours every day. I hope you tried and I see
you in the next video.
3. Managing your projects with Asana: In this video, we'll
talk about one of the, also one of the best tools. I always said this
tool is the best, but next video, you will
hear me say it again. This is the best.
This is because all the tools are great
and I loved these ones. These tool is called Asana. If you have not heard about Asana is a free
software, is paid tool, but you can start for
free with almost, I mean, I use it for free for years
and worked perfectly fine. And this tool is great because it's a tool that
will help you to organize projects,
ideas, workflows, and works amazingly well,
well, great companies, big companies and it also
also small companies all over the world
use Asana everyday. And I'll show you here in
this video in this lesson, how you can sign up
for a free account. And I will show you my account. I will log in with my
username and password. I show you how I use
Asana or my business. You can replicate any
anything that I have, anything that you see on my account that will
be useful for you. I am open to share
that with you. So that's what I'll
show you exactly how I use it and how I organize, how I use it also to organize the course creation
every time I will create a new course for you,
for my students. I go to as an ion, I have a template
that I just follow step-by-step and
that simple thing, save me hours and hours of work. And that also
helped me to create the course faster because I have everything there or organize is a checklist
that I just need to follow. Check when I complete the task, I can delegate tasks
to my team with these, I can see follow-up, fantastic. Let me show you right now. Let's go here to Asana.com. This is the website and you
see this is the homepage. You can watch a video
demo if you want. Here. You see here this is the planning stage that you
will find here on the tool. We have also the
to-do in progress are ready to view option
that they have enabled here. On this tool, we have the delegation you can
create also workflows, as you can see here. You say, Okay, I have these
task and I put it on Asana. And these three
things need to be completed in order to finish. But when these two
are completed, this will be delegated to this
third person on your team. And after that, when
these completed and this is to the
project is done. So all that we can configure
automatically on Asana. And if you are
saying Diego, this is too complicated for me, man, I have a simple process. I just want to
organize some ideas. Also, this is good for you
and I use in a simple way, and I don't use it as complicated as I show you
here on this demonstration, let me show you my account here. But before we go there, let's go to pricing. If we click on pricing, you will see, let's
see here we are. You see that they have a basic
option that is 100% free. These can change at any
moment, we don't know, but for now is a 100%
free and this is the one that I use for my business
works completely fine. You see that its lifetime. For free, you have
unlimited essentials, limited project tasks, activity log, storage,
and comments. Unlimited for free.
That's amazing. Let's jump in on my account
and take a look. Here. Here's, here's my account, this is my Asana account. In the left, you see the left
menu with all the projects, the teams, and everything that
you have on your account. And here on the
right on the center, you have the project
details and know all the information when we select the specific option here. In my task, you will see tasks that are due today for you. When you create projects. You can set due
dates and all that. An everyday what I
do is just come to my task and I'll see
what I need to do today. What's my goal? What do I
need to accomplish today? And let me see, here, we have the teams. Teams are specific groups
that you can create. You can organize and group
your specific projects. For example, I have a C O hub, which is where I have all
information about my business. I have the executive
dashboard where I have the name of my employees, contact of my employee's
information about my company, employee identification
number and all that documents
for the company. I have the quarterly planning every quarter I sit
down before the quarter starts and I plan the five goals that I want to achieve for
this specific quarter. This is great because
I know it's here and I enforced to do every quarter as
Anna will remind me, Hey, it's time to set the
goals for the next quarter. And all the goals are
here. Ready for me. Also, I have Let's see
what else I can show you. I have the other projects
like my website, pizza wall podcasts, Udemy. So all these different projects where I have
more information, I'll show you, I'll
open one for you. This is the one of
the most popular. The one that I use the
most is a template. You see I have a group of templates where I have
the original template, master video editing template, master new course
creation and all that. So if I open the new
course creation, this is a template that every time I will
create a course, let's say I'm creating
a new course. Now, I come here and I
duplicate these templates so I can use these step-by-step
to create my course. Everything about
the course is here. All the steps I need
to follow from an idea to the course published with the students is here
on this template. This is great because I see
all the tasks that I need to complete to achieve
the goal which is gradient new cars and
publishing the course. Let's see here. Here we have the basic
information about the course. We have the pre-production
section where we have, for example, market research. Inside Market Research,
let's take a look. We have check the Udemy insight to check Google, Chegg YouTube. So I can just come here and complete this tax
when it's ready. Okay, I've already
checked YouTube. Check Google, so I just
check mark everything here. Also, I can validate
the course idea. We have create a new folder, create a new course outlined. All these are ready for me so I don't need
to think about, Okay, what's the next step now that I'm working
on this project, now that I'm creating
a new course, what's an except I don't need to worry about that
because it's all here. All I need to do is come
and follow the recipe, follow the checklist here. Also after the pre-production, I have another one which is
production on or filming. When I'm ready with the
planning, I am ready to film. So I can put, I will
enter here model one, Introduction model two, and
put the name of the models. And when I'm ready, when I'm ready filming,
I just come here. I just finished
filming model one. I checked my base. This is ready. And I also move these. I move this guy here
to the next section, which is the video editing. Let's see video editing is here. Let me see video
editing is here. I moved to video editing. Just move this to
the wrong place. Here where Excellent. Let's say I finish
recording model 15. I just move this here. Excellent. Now it's not it's
no longer here on filming because
it's already filmed that is on video editing. At this point, I
can delegate this. I can come here,
assign this task, and I can assign one
person on my team, which is the video editor. This person words if
an email saying Hey, this is this model is
ready to be edited, I don't need to contact him, I don't need to let him know. This is automatic as Anna
will take care of that. When he finished editing. We will just check mark here so I can come here, I can say, Okay, the video later, already finished
editing model 15. Great. It's all organized
and easy to use. Also after that, let
me show you here. I have a promo video. So every course
have a promo video. I can write a script, feel the promo video, send the files to the
editing and all these tasks. After that, I have a copy where I need to create a
copy for the course. What is the target student? What is the course description? The course goes all
this is here ready. I can build the curriculum, I can do the post-production and send an announcement
to my students. This is how I use Asana. I hope you try this. This is great, is
free, easy to use. Goto.com, download these, create an account and try to
use it on your business. You will be surprised
you're going to start with something simple. Like, what is your
goal for the day? Create a project for that
everyday you come here, you check off your goals. You can start using it as
a to-do list if you want. But you soon will start seeing all the great opportunities that you have to
organize your business, your daily tasks with Asana. I hope you'll try this and I
see you in the next video.
4. To-do lists with Google Keep: Another great tool that you
can use as a to-do list. And you can also
share with your team, with your partners,
maybe with your friends. To-do list for work
for or even for your personal life is
called Google Keep. If you have a Google account, you can go now to
keep.google.com. And this is what you will see. This is my account. You see a few lists
that I have here, and this is a simple tool that you can use on
your smart phone, on your tablet,
on your computer, is all integrated a 100% free, and this is great to
share list with anyone. Let me show you how it works. We can come here and create a new node or just a new list. I will add a title here. Let's see, this is the
productivity productivity list. We can add items here. So for example, set my
goals for the week, set my yearly goals. Wake up at six AM. You can add more and more
itis. This is great. Let me click here. This is great because with this, you can see that you
can follow this. You can start adding things, heat on your computer and on
your cell phone if you want. Also, you can share these with your team, with a collaborator. As you see here, I
can click on plus and I can add the e-mail, the Gmail email of
the person that I wanted to share this and I
use this with my wife alone. We create we have at
least for groceries. You see that we have here
is let me save this. Here is the groceries
list. As you can see. Here we have this is
the groceries list. She's also here on the
lessee is a collaborator, so I can every time
I remember something that I need the winnings
for groceries at home, I just add here to the list. And when she opens let's say
she goes to the supermarket, she opens the app on the phone. She will see all
the items that I already add here for her. This is updated real-time achieve in the supermarket
she was checking off. Okay, I got the beer. Here's some ideas are important
too, is here and so on. Sorry guys. When she's buying
the things is taken off instantaneously
on myself and two, so this is great also, you can use these
with your team. Let's say you say for your team you will
create a new list. Let's change the color here. Let's do it more. Blue. For example. Project one, let's say
there is project one. Goals for the to-do
for the week, do for the week of
July, for example. In here, we have the task one, task to task three, and we can add here
the collaborators. Let's say what could
we add your team? Who will add a two or three
people for your team, and every people responsible for a specific items here on the list for this
specific project. I will talk about Asana
here on the model, and this is more advanced. You can do amazing
things with Asana. But if you want just
a quick way to do a to-do list right there on your cell phone,
which is from Google. You can use your
Gmail account to access these in any device. And U1, it's fast,
you want it easy. This is the way to
go with Google. Keep, I hope you try it and
I see you in the next video.
5. Super productive with Google Drive: Google Drive is one of the
best tools we can find today when you think about
working in projects, working with your team, working on new ideas, new products, or new ways to grow your company,
your personal brand. When we're talking about collaboration and
working with a team. When I say a team, I
mean two people or more. Google Drive is the best
tool we have an East free, you can use it for free. Of course they have upgraded
plans that you can operate. Two. In this video, I'll show you how Phil and I, how we're doing, how we are organizing
all the ideas for this course that you are watching here with me right now. How we are collaborating
to get the result which is the best course possible for you about productivity
and time management. Let me show you
how we use and how you can also use
these with your team in which ways you can
collaborate with Google Drive. Let's go to a computer. Now, here you see this is
the curriculum of the cars. You see here the outline of productivity and time
management course. You see the models
here introduction. We also say here, okay, these, the welcome will be
by Phil and Diego. So we divide the lectures here. And the wonderful thing
here is that I can edit this document and he also
can edit at the same time. You probably know this. Also we have a drive on the Cloud on Google Drive
where we have here the agenda, we have the lessons
that we are recording. So when I record a lesson, I upload here to the drive. We have the outline
that we both can edit, change, optimize in any way. We have the slides for the
cars with Google Slides, and we have the promise
great from the promo video. So all these can be accomplished easily
with Google Drive. So if you never try
Google Drive before, I invite you to go now
to drive.google.com and start using these not only for your team
but also for you, for your personal life, for your personal
brand to grow and expand your ideas to
reach your goals, to be more productive every time you want to do at a note-taking, you need to create
a new document. You want to take a
note of something. You can use Google Drive
for that and you can centralize everything
in one place. We have today and wheat talk about different apps
here on the course. We talked about Evernote or Notion and other gray apps that you can
use for note-taking, trail off to organize projects. Asana and all these
are great apps, but it's important
for you to centralize the information you
have in one place. Centralize everything
you have in one tool. When you need to
look for something, you don't need to
start thinking, okay, where is that? What is that information? Maybe it's an Asana,
maybe some Evernote, or it's on Google Drive. So you know that everything
is in one place. And I think if you asked
me what's the best place, the best app to store all
this information about you, about your business,
about your goals, about your personal life, about your professional life, about your business,
is on Google Drive. I hope you try this. Go now to drive.google.com. Share this with your team. And I hope to see you
in the next video.
6. Silencing all notifications on your smartphone: Silence in all the notifications
on your smartphone. Why this is important? Why we are putting these, why we decide to add these as an extreme productivity
strategy for the digital. We did that because we receive hundreds and hundreds of notifications every day
on your smartphone, you probably are receiving. Maybe 100 maybe tells us, I know people have received thousands of notifications from Eastern messaging on their
device every day, email, every new e-mail you receive, every message you receive, every text message you receive, sometimes Instagram
notifications, Facebook notifications, and we have hundreds of apps
installed on your phone. And all of them are
fighting for your time, are fighting for your attention, are fighting for
getting in front of you every time there is a
new update on the app. That's good in some way because
we wanted to be updated. We want to know when
new email camps or when somebody important is
sending you a message. But in the other side, and this is the thing that
we need to think about. You are been interrupt every time a new notification
come to your phone, even if you said Diego, unused to, it doesn't bother me. My phone is there. I see a notification. I don't even look at it. I know we already conditioned
or mine to think that way. But the truth is that every
time the notification camps, even if you are not looking
at that unconsciously, you are losing focus. You are your stop, you stop thinking
about your project, about the thing that task
that you are doing right now. To look at identification
if it's even if it's a 2.5th distraction. The fact is that we are with the smartphones
the whole day. And this is Smartphones
are distracting you hundreds and hundreds of times every day and that
needs to stop. So I have a challenge for you. I invite you for the next seven days to
go and I'll show you how to do it to what your
cell phone unmute all the notifications. If you said Diego,
I cannot do that definitely because I
need to I need this app. I need to hear
from these people. I know you can choose 12 or maybe three apps that you want to allow
notifications, that's fine. So you can be in contact
with your family. And another vital apps
for your business. But the main idea here, and this is really important. This looks simple and
you probably think, okay, I'll jump to
the next lecture. I don't do this. Please
stay with me here. This is important. This will, this can change your
productivity and you will see how much focus you are after a week of doing this exercise so that
the challenge is this. You come here to your
device here IN a mine, you go to the Settings, you look for the
notification option on here on the iPhone, if you have an Android, similar steps here I have all the apps I have
installed on my cell phone, on my smartphone, every app
I have here, for example, one password is
the notifications are a mailer from one password. You see I can see on the lock screen on occasion
Center on the banner. I can just come here and
just disable this option. This is what the challenge for, let's say Amazon, I can come
here and disabled Amazon. By doing that. What we are doing, we are stopping hundreds of notifications of the
extracting you every day. Let's take a quick look here on how many notifications
I receive. Iphone has a feature
here called screen time. So if I go to screen time, I can see, let's select
the device here. Let's see devise. Here we are. We see that the
daily average notifications for me Is 9696 times
every day in the, let's say 1012 in the
16 hours and awake. I have a 100 almost a 100 times and being interrupted
every time with my family. Sometimes I'm having a dinner with my family, a family time. Sometimes I'm working
on a specific project. Sometimes I record
them. Hear from you. Imagine if I'm recording hint
for you and I start seeing notifications on my iPhone
and I still with you here, but I see the notification, so I lost focus on
not delivering a 100% for you here because
I'm being distracted. So my challenge for you is
to go to your device now, disable all the
notifications that you can try that for the
next seven days. After seven days,
you can go back and enable all the
notifications if you want, if you see if you think that didn't make a
difference for you, you can just re-enable it. But I ensure these will change, this will improve, this will boost your productivity
and your focus. You will be more creative
and more creative and more productive just with
this simple strategy, I hope you tried it and I
see you in the next video.
7. Organizing your files and folders on your computer: How to organize your files
and folders on your computer to be more productive
and to find information, would you need to find
to have everything in the right place when you are looking for
that specific file, you will find it easily
with this system. And also if you are in
a different computer, which is what, which is
the most important thing. Let's say you are traveling, you forgot your laptop and
you need to access the files. You have access
to all the files. Let me show you here we
have a combination of Google Drive that we talked about in the last lectures
here on this model. And also seeing that on your local computer with
Google Drive icon have all my files on
the Cloud and also organize in an amazing
way here on my machine. Let me show here, here we
are on my local machine. This is a Mag, that's why you
see the files on this way. So we have here at the top, the main folders that I have. So what I do for
my business from a personal life works
amazingly for me. I learned these
five-years ago and since then and applying
these everyday. And this is how I
organize all my files. The idea is to stop and think on the main categories of files
and folders that you have. Let's say you have one
usually on their computer, you have one called
My Documents. Inside my documents
is everything. You usually save there a Word document or
PowerPoint for work. The list of goals
that you created for this year is all mixed up there and it's
difficult to find it and it's only one place and
it's all in one machine. If you work in another machine, you won't be able to find because it's on the
other heart, right? For maybe it's on your
external hard drive is complicated. So with this method, you will think about the main topics that
you have on your life, on your business and you will
create one folder for each. And I want you to list
that in a priority order. You put the number
one folder you will have is the most important
for that I use the most, the second is the in
the second level and you create the
number of folders. This is an example.
Look at this. These are all my folders here and you see
one through ten. You can have one through 50
if you want, that's fine, but I recommend you to
organize with number. You see number one and number two on the main
number three and domain, the name number for the name. So organize by number a name. With that I know, for example, looking at these, that
number four is YouTube. Every time I am currently
a YouTube video or every time and having
products for example, I have a document with
YouTube ideas, video ideas, or I have music from
a YouTube videos. Any Pete related with
YouTube is going here to for their number
four with the name YouTube. So you see the
number one is Udemy and number two is my documents. On my documents, I add all my personal documents above my house about my
family medical records. Everything is here. Number one is Udemy. All my courses goes here. Every course I have All the original files,
all the planning, all the outlines,
everything that I created for my course is here. I don't need to look
anywhere else if I want something related with
mice us with my business, with my courses, is
on these further here meetings that I
do with my students. Ideas for new courses. Everything is inside here. My documents or
personal documents, marketing number three is
another big category for me. On the marketing folder, I have everything
related with marketing. Ideas that I have, ads that I ran, spreadsheets with ads data
comparing the ads performance, how much I spent on ads, a copy for my new courses. Everything that it related with promoting my
business or my brand is here on the marketing folder for all of my courses for me, that I'm the face of my brand. If you think about my courses, you probably think
about my face. That's why on this course. And in all my courses I put
my face on the course image. My students relate. They associate my face with the course and
with the material. Also we have the folder
about my weight, my website, everything that is related with my website is here. We have another other platforms. We have my business in here, father number seven, I have everything related
with my business. 1099 stack staff. Everything that is related with the business
entity is here. Also, I have a podcast. I have everything related
with the podcast here. And you see a father about
the stock market and trying to stock market lately, are learning about it
and everything is there. So what is why
this is important? Because when you
come here to this, this main list of folders, you know exactly where to find
information that you need, you know, you know exactly
where to where to look for. Everything is organized
and it's there also because everything
is on Google Drive. But let's go back to a computer. This is really important. If I go to my C drive, let's say to my
Documents folder here on this local computer
that you are seeing here. Here's the local computer. I go here and
here's the desktop. Let's go to Documents. You'll see that it's empty. We have default things from
Adobe library and Zoom. That's it. Why? Because if I save all
my files on this computer, I also have my laptop, which is here. Let me show you. Here's my laptop. If I need to work on my
laptop and not on my desktop, which is what you
are seeing here. I won't find my documents if
I save everything here or locally on my machine when I worked from here, I
don't have anything. I need to have an
external hard drive. I need to USB connection, I need to worry about
that is complicated. So what I do is I use Google
Drive. Let me show you. If I open the Google
Drive online here, drive.google.com, you'll see the same structure
that I showed you there. This is the structure or
the main folders are here. And because it's on the
world rife when I go to my laptop and install
Google Drive here too, I have these exact structure
here. Let me show you. Let me go back to
the Finder here. My Drive. You'll see My Drive, this is from Google
Drive and you see this structure is on the Cloud, so I find the same
structure here. This is the best way to organize your files,
your folders. And now so by having that on
Google Drive on the Cloud, you also have access to that
anywhere from any computer, even if it's not your computer, you can quickly install the Google Drive application or you can just open
the browser and access your files
and you can use and work as is you are
on your main computer. I hope you think about this. This is important. This will help you to save time, to save energy when you are looking for files
for, for information. And also remember that when
we have things organized, we are more productive. Things flow better because
everything is organized. You know, where everything goes, everything is on the Cloud. If something fails, if
your hard drive fail, everything is backup
on the Cloud. You can access from
anywhere at any time. I hope you think about that and I see you in the next video.
8. Notion: Organizing your projects and your life: Hey guys, Welcome
to this video here we are talking about Notion. Notion is an app that many of my clients and my
students absolutely love. And that's why I want
to share with you, because lots of people use
these to be more productive. I use it for some tasks as I, as you know already
watching this model, I use mainly Google Drive, but I decided to share
these because many, many of my clients and my
students love these and they claim that this
helped them to be more productive and
organize their business, their life, their
personal goals, and fun stuff too, as I will show you here. Let's go to the
computer here we are on Notion dot, SO notion dot. So if you don't
find it, you can, you can search for
notion on your Google. And also, I will share
the links for notion here in the resources of these
resources are of this lesson. So here we are on the homepage. These may change when
you come here and visit, you see all in one workspace, one tool for the
whole thing, right? Plan and get organized. You see here, this is
how it looks like and I will demonstrate this
for you in this lesson. So stay with me here. I'll show you also
hear on this lesson templates that you can use
that is ready for you. Let's say I want
to set goals for my E quarter for the next quarter or goals from
a year ago for this mode, for this week, I want to
organize a tree that I have. I'll show you a template
are precreated here notion that you can just
with one click for-free, started using an organize, your life and your business. Here is how it looks like you have also access on the phone. Of course, they have a great app for the tool and this
is the browser option. You see that big companies are using these two for
organizing things. And they mainly used
for procreation. You can organize product
ideas about product, coordinate in the engineering, engineering, releases,
codify processes. Hr also is very useful. You can use it for marketing, for sales and the sign. And I'll show you
the template for each one of these cases. All things are here at the top. We have the pricing option. People, people who I asked them, how much is this? This is free if you want, you can start for free. Here. You see the personal is free, a 100% free lifetime access. And you see here you have free unlimited pages and blocks. You can share your, your notes, your pages, and you can
sync across your devices. And of course, they have also pay options with more tools, but of course you
can start for free. And later if you want, you can upgrade if you
like the software. Let's go and jump into the Notion app right now
here I opened my notion, this is what I have and
I use it to organize some aspects of my business
or my personal life, especially more and more for
my personal life on Notion, but you can use it
for business too. You see on the left we have the left menu with the name of the account or the forelegs
and pages that you have. And here on the center
we have the database. If I scroll down
to the bottom and this is what I want you to do, because if you are opening
these for the first time, probably years is empty
and that's normal. You can scroll down to the
button and click on Templates. You see all the templates
that they have. Here on the right. You have categories, design categories,
education, engineering, human resources, marketing, personal product management,
sales and support. So each category in, inside each category
you will have templates for that specific subject,
let's say education. I see here class node's job
applications, reading list. Let's go to reading list. And this is what we see. You see here. Let me see. This is a little bit of the
screen is cutting off. Let me see if I can I can
adjust these for you. You see here we have
the name of the book, we have the status listening
or start to reiterate, ready to start, finish. How many star the
score that you are given is the author name, the published air when it
was published, and the link. So you can create like a
reading list if you want. What I use it more me
personally is as a personal, for personal use, you can do a quick note and this
is a template you see. You can do a to-do
list, create tasks. You can create a page inside this page so you can
create sub pages. You can add links, images, videos, fantastic thing. Also, let's go to goals here. I can create goals to do. You see this is
organized on by status. You see to do, doing and done. And you can also change
this to, let's see here. Let's change the due date. So you see you can have k1, k2, k4 each quarter. Let's say we wanted to travel and we want to plan or troubles. So I come here to Planet travel. You can add a cover here. Let us say we will to Paris. Let's see, splash Paris. We can search here and we use, for example, this
one, the April tower. This Let's go and travel. Paris. Traveled a packing list. So you have here a sub page, there is a packing list, a contact of hotels. Another concept that you have. So this is great because it's
a database of your travel. When you are traveling,
you have the Notion app on your phone and you can just open a new half the
packing list here. You have the contact
of the hotel and everything that you need. So here we have a spreadsheet. Let me resize this
so we can read it. Let's see. Okay. You see here we have the
first column is the activity, the part in flight hotel, the name of the hotel, the name of the tour. You see the day that this
will re-perform the location. For example, departing flights, San Francisco airport
terminal one, you'll see the URL,
for example, k hotel. This is the hotel
and we are staying in Barcelona. For example. You see the link, the URL, the address of the
hotel is always good to have the address
when you are traveling. Find the key in lockbox, the code is 567. So all these details
about your trip, you can plan here with
Notion for example, and here you have a map. You can add a map of the hotel, of the city, the tour, the things that you are
visiting, your trip. What else we can do here? We are just on the personal. Look at this, we're just
exploring the personal. There are other categories here with different
templates that you can do and this is ready
to use. Let's use one. Let's go to habit tracker. This is the one
that we will use. So I select this and I will click Use this template
here at the top. You see that now I have here on my left
menu habit tracker. What is this? This is a template. Let me go here that
we can track habit. For example, we have
the days of the weeks, we have the activity on this
case running meditation, sleep seven hours generally in screen time and
I can add more. Let's say they add here,
for example, exercising. Exercising. You can check you can check the days
that you completed. Okay. It for example, Tuesday, we didn't sleep seven hours. I will check that with this, you have a visual idea of what habits are you working on and what's
working and what's not. So all the templates here guys, I want you to invite you to come here and explore the
template marketing. For example, we
have brand asset. Let's take a look. All the assets for
the brand or here, meeting notes, you
have no meetings. You can use these weekly
sync ad campaign. So this one for example, this is a meeting, a template. The weekly meeting. This is the date you can
change all these. What did we do last week? This is one of the first questions we
asked on the median. So we list here we created, we launched YouTube channel. So we have the
template for minutes. What are we doing this week? This week we are setting for new projects
and stuff like that. Potential blockers will find
action items and you can also might people on your
team, Let's say todo. These are the things
that we need to do. First step, create
the new website and we can tag people for these specific
type on your team. I can mention if
I press the add, as you see here, follow, type the add sign, and you add the
teammate's name here. And these tasks will be
assigned to this person. So every time you come
here for your meeting, you know, for example, Joan didn't create the website. What's going on? You can check with John, all these templates are
ready for you here. Come here to Notion. Take a look and start using an organizing your life
