How I Work
My Notion Guiding Principles
Notion isn’t a productivity tool, it’s a possibility tool. As your Certified Notion Consultant & partner, I believe in creating systems that work for humans, not against them. Through intentional design and personalised solutions, I help transform digital workspaces into environments where productivity flows naturally and work becomes more meaningful.
Big Notion Energy happens when you are authentic & intentional with your approach to achieving your goals. Frameworks are inspiration, not the law. Ultimately, you understand your core values and are building out ways of working on your own terms.
Cultures of Intention occur when everything has a purpose.
No ego. No vanity metrics. No annoying admin. Information shows up where it should. Every step in the process pushes you towards your goals.
Ultimately, Notion is a digital blank canvas for anything that you need to track, store & share.
But, this doesn’t need to be everything - just the things that make sense.
When you build for humans (not robots), you create systems that feel natural and easy to use Instead of getting stuck with rigid, robotic processes, we design workflows that match how you and your team actually like to work. Think of it as building a space that works with you, not against you - where everything just flows and makes sense.
High Impact Behaviour is the ultimate goal of building an intentional workflow. When you achieve it, you are able to act constructively in a way that optimises, but is not limited to encouraging autonomy, accountability, collaboration, creativity, communication, personal development, flexibility, shared vision & transparency
Profuntivity is being realistic about what you can actually get done, while adding layers of play & joy into your workflow
