How to Plan Your Week in 30 Minutes (Using a Notion Template)

A simple, repeatable system to plan your week without the overwhelm — even if you're new to Notion.

I used to spend Sunday evenings stressed, trying to figure out what I needed to do the next week. I'd write lists on paper, then lose them. I'd open apps, then close them. Nothing stuck.

Then I built a weekly planning routine around a single Notion template — and it changed everything. The key is to keep it simple: review your calendar, pick your top three priorities, and batch small tasks into a single day. No overcomplicating.

Here's exactly what I do: I open my Week Planner template, look at my upcoming deadlines and appointments, and write down three 'must-dos' for the week. Everything else is a bonus. I also schedule one hour for admin tasks (emails, bills, planning) on the same day each week.

That's it. 30 minutes, start to finish. The template does the rest — it's pre-formatted with a weekly view, a priority section, and a simple checkbox list. If you want to try it, the template is in the shop. No pressure — just a system that works.
