Why your Notion is a mess (and how to fix it in 10 minutes)

If your Notion feels like a digital junk drawer, you're not alone. Most people start with good intentions — a habit tracker here, a reading list there — and suddenly they have 20 unrelated pages and no idea where anything lives.

The fix isn't more structure. It's less. Pick one page to be your hub. A simple dashboard that links to your three most-used databases. Delete or archive everything else. Yes, really.

Once you have a single home base, you'll actually use Notion. That's where templates come in. They give you that hub without the setup. But even without one, just clearing the clutter is a game changer.
