As said earlier, Notion is for all. Notion has the unique capability to adapt to the work that you are working on. Notion is for students, teams, startups, remote work, educators, project management, and personal use.

The dashboard is highly customisable. If you don't find any templates that fit your needs, there are several free templates for Notion by private creators and Notion Ambassadors.

Here are my TOP 3 Notion Templates that helps me build better work-life balance.

Repository

When you have a lot of documents, it is really not that easy to find the find the right document and its category if not organised properly. Best way to start working on organising all your work is with a Template.

In Notion it is easy to maintain all the documents in ONE document. Here is an example, During my Masters, I created a repository of all the modules and created individual documents for Lecture Notes, Resources, Plans and other Research. It was easier for me to view all the modules from a high level perspective and of course it kept all the resources in one place.

This is an inbuilt FREE template by Notion. Duplicate the Lesson Plan Template and customise the titles and fields according to your requirement.

Meal Planner

A good meal planner template is when you can have a Recipe Database, Inventory Tracking and a weekly view. This Meal Planner Notion Template by Easlo has the below features.

✓ Weekly Plan

✓ Calendar View

✓ Recipe Database

✓ Collections for Recipes

✓ Inventory Tracking

✓ Sort by Course, Tags or Ratings

I recommend adding another column to the inventory for price. So, it will get easier for you to estimate your shopping budget for the month.

The template is very simple, neat, easy to understand and very minimal customisation is required.

Habit Tracker

Getting your actions together is the reason why we want to get organised and have a central system. This FREE habit tracker template by Taylor Milliman is easy to track your progress throughout the week.

The template gives an high-level perspective at the end of the month of how well I am doing. At the moment, I have started using this template. Found no complications. It is very easy to add your regular habits and start tracking them.

With Notion, I can add whatever I want to keep my work and life organised. I have suggested soo many people use Notion, and they are literally in love with the tool. You would love it as well. Give it a try.

🥂 to a healthy lifestyle.
