What this course is about
Welcome to my training on how I use Notion to plan my content. Now I know that there are many tools out there that you could use, and probably do use. Most of the concepts that I am going to cover in this training can be applied to those tools as well. I’ve used some of them myself like ASANA, Trello, and even Microsoft Planner. There are many others that I haven’t used. I know that Airtable is currently very popular and I’m sure that it could also work as the principle of how I create my content can be applied to other tools.

The Space to Create
The real secret to why the 15-minute content planner is so successful is that it has a secret weapon that other planners and calendars don’t have, and that’s the space to create.

The Basics of my content plan
So this is my content. I will go over how I structure my content using Notion. This will also demonstrate why I don’t recommend using a general writing tool like Microsoft Word or Google docs, or any other word processor, because if it doesn’t give you the capability to organise your thoughts and rearrange things and filter and change views, then it’s going to be very limiting.

The Advanced features in my Content Plan
In this lesson I continue to walk you through my content plan and how I use some of the advanced features in Notion

Creating a Content Series and Calendar View
I also use Notion to create advanced views that focus on a group of content that is a little bit more content than a general post. These are things that I refer to as a series.

About Lesson

The real secret to why the 15-minute content planner is so successful is that it has a secret weapon that other planners and calendars don’t have, and that’s the space to create.


So what is the space to create?

If you’ve ever been in a heated argument with anyone, maybe even a situation with your kids where there’s a timeout or “count to 10” moment. Well, that little break between the emotion that you feeling and the 10 seconds break in-between can sometimes make such a big difference.


That’s what I call the space to create. It’s the space between you coming up with a content idea, be that a social media post, an email to a prospective client, or even writing a blog post. The more space you put between writing the content and actually posting and sharing it, is the same super power as counting to 10.


It allows you to breathe.


Not too much space

While you do want to give yourself some space, you don’t want to give too much space that you end up not posting anything. Seeking perfection is one of the challenges of doing something new.


As you’ll see in my content plan, I have many ideas that I have started with and refined, but also many others that I have not published. However, the unpublished ideas are tiny in comparison to the ideas that I have published, the videos that I produced, and the training, email, and sales calls I’ve made in that space


So while the space to create gives you just that, space, you don’t want too much space that your ideas get away from actually making it out to your audience.
