systems design and Notion support

Your next brilliant idea always shows up when you’re deep in the magic and the muck of your current brilliant idea.

It makes sense: the act of doing, getting your hands dirty, figuring out next steps clears the way for inspiration to flow through you.

It’s one of my favorite things about doing creative work.

Except when it’s not. When the shiny, bright, brilliant new idea steals all of your focus and you must. act. on. it. now. 

Or be doomed to forget about it forever.

And then you drop the totally wonderful, exciting, meaningful work you were doing in the first place. Oops.

Honestly, same.

And I want to share what finally worked for me.

But first, what didn’t work was writing all my NEW SHINY IDEAS on a post-it note.

Or a random page in a notebook.

Or saving them in the Notes app on my phone.

It would take me forever to find them again, or I’d forget about them completely.

Which meant: I didn’t trust my system. And it’s why I would jump to get started on a new idea right away. I couldn’t trust myself to come back to it.

Now I have a system for capturing and organizing these ideas in Notion when they arrive.

AND I’ve paired that system with a weekly ritual of reviewing all of the ideas that have crossed my mind and heart that I might want to revisit.

It only takes about five minutes on Monday mornings, but it creates such a sense of peace in my nervous system.

Then I can get back to the work at hand.

Want to build your own system inside of Notion?

You could watch a hundred hours of YouTube tutorials and teach yourself.

Or you could have a creativity coach who believes in gentle accountability (and who’s watched those 100 hours already) by your side while you learn.

You could have someone there to help you build the system that will actually work for you, instead of just copying the system that works for them.

Let’s do this together!

Creative Wilds Intensive Rhythm

We’ll start with a 50-minute kickoff call where you can tell me what projects you’re working on, what your system needs to support them, and what is keeping you from working on them.

Then I’ll build a framework (3-5 databases and dashboards) for your system inside of Notion. Once that’s complete, you’ll schedule a 30-minute call so that we can walk through the framework - and how to use it - together.

You’ll use your system for one month and we’ll wrap up with a 30-minute closing call to discuss any changes or updates you need to keep the system working for you - and how you can build upon it.
