How I Use Monday Hour One in Notion to Help My Squiggly Brain Get Organized
I get asked pretty consistently about Monday Hour One, a time-blocking system that I’ve talked about on The Twelfth House Podcast and that I teach inside of Notion for Magical Baddies: Systems Spells.
In this video, I go IN-DEPTH on my Monday Hour One system, how it works, how you can implement it and how I use it to get things done and stress less as an intuitive entrepreneur with a squiggly, ADHD brain!
Monday Hour One is an AMAZING tool for students, entrepreneurs, and people who work for themselves and need to be self-directed with their work and time... but struggle with time blindness.
