3 things I stopped doing to get more done (and how Notion helped)
Letting go of perfectionism, endless to-do lists, and multitasking changed my productivity — here's how.
I used to think productivity meant doing more. More tasks, more hours, more hustle. But a few months ago, I hit a wall. I was exhausted, my Notion was a mess of half-finished databases, and I still felt behind.
So I stopped three things. First: perfect setup. I deleted 80% of my databases and kept only what I actually used. Second: endless to-dos. I now limit my daily list to three priorities. Third: multitasking. I do one thing at a time, tracked in a simple Notion task view.
The result? I finish more by noon than I used to in a whole day. If you're overwhelmed, try subtracting instead of adding. Your brain — and your Notion — will thank you.
