For this project, you’ll be creating your own Notion Content Creation dashboard.

I’ll be walking you through the process and how to customize your workspace to fit your needs. During the initial lessons, you’ll learn how to make each element you need, including:

- A Tasks Database
- A Projects Database
- A Content Database
- Templates within each database

And in the end, we’ll bring everything together into a single dashboard.

All you need is the Notion App, which can be downloaded to your computer or used in a web browser, and creativity to make the system your own!

When you’re done, post a screenshot of your dashboard to share and get feedback from other students. I look forward to seeing what you make!

My Pre-Made Notion Templates

I think building your own system is part of the fun, but if you’d like something ready to go out of the box, I’ve made several templates that you can use as a starting point. These are the exact templates I use to run my life and my own content creation: Check them out here.
