How I Use Notion to Organize My ENTIRE Business

Introduction

Imagine having everything you need to run your business all in one place. With the Notion business dashboard, you can eliminate the hassle of jumping between apps and struggling to keep up with tasks, projects, and client updates. This centralized hub simplifies your workflow, keeps your team aligned, and ensures you're always on top of your game. In this article, I’ll walk you through how to revolutionize your business management using Notion.

The Tasks Page

The Tasks Page plays a crucial role in managing your business. It is designed for easy navigation, allowing you to move smoothly between different sections of your dashboard. You can quickly return to the main dashboard or add new pages and tasks with just a click.

In the first section of the Tasks Page, you can view all your tasks, filtering them by what needs to be done today or by their current status—whether they are not started, in progress, or done. You'll see essential task details such as the due date, the associated project, priority, and a button to mark it as complete.

Let’s explore how to add a new task. You simply click on the "Add Task" button, name your task (e.g., "Website Development"), and proceed to make necessary edits like changing the status to "In Progress." You can also set the priority and due date, add relevant notes, and once completed, just hit the “Done” button.

You can further enhance your task by linking it to relevant project management details, such as the assigned team member, the client it’s associated with, and the budget.

The Projects Page

Next, we have the Projects Page. In this section, you can easily assign tasks to team members and prioritize what is most important. The Projects Page allows you to track progress, manage work timelines, and assess your team's output all in one place.

Similar to the Tasks Page, you can view project status, deadlines, and even track the overall completion through a progress bar. By adding a new project using the "Add Project" button, you can fill in essential details such as the project name, priority, status, start and End dates, assigned team members, client information, and any related tasks.

The Reports Section

The Reports Section provides a comprehensive overview of your projects’ performance and progress. It allows tracking of reports in real-time, ensuring that nothing gets overlooked. This feature provides a bird's eye view of your business, enabling you to make informed decisions based on real-time data.

Team and Budgets Management

The Team Page shows all team members organized by role, allowing you to monitor their performance through KPI progress bars. You can open an employee's page to view their projects and tasks, making it easy to manage each team member's workload effectively.

The Budgets Page is where you keep track of all your projects' budgets, payments, and invoices. The page provides an overview of allocated budgets, spent amounts, and a chart that illustrates budget tracking for each project. You can see details about each budget's allocated amount, spent amount, and payment status—all in one place.

Clients Organization

On the Clients Page, you can see all the clients you’re currently working with and track essential information like associated projects, budgets, tasks, invoices, and payment statuses. Each client has dedicated categories (e.g., Prospect, Lead, Client) for easy management.

Goal Setting and Inbox Management

Another essential feature is the Goals Page where you can set and track your business objectives, including key details like owners, status, priority, and outcomes.

Lastly, the Inbox Page helps you manage communication with clients. It tracks all meetings, calls, and emails in one place, keeping essential details at your fingertips.

Notion is powerful because it connects all these pages and databases seamlessly, making project management professional and safe. It's user-friendly, easily competing with traditional tools like Excel.
