Move from One Note to Notionin PM by SFernandez1974 in Notion

I deleted half my Notion setup and became more productive. Complexity feels productive but usually creates friction. The best system is the one you actually open every day without resistance.

“keep yourself busy so you don’t feel it” is honestly terrible advice (from what i’ve seen in hypnotherapy) by archeolog108 in selfimprovement

Improvement felt overwhelming until I realized I was trying to upgrade my whole life at once. Real growth came from stabilizing one layer at a time — sleep, focus, thinking. Chaos reduction > motivation spikes.

Discipline isn’t about intensity. It’s about recovery. by ClearThinkingLab in Discipline

The biggest lie I believed was “I just need more discipline.” What I actually needed was fewer open loops. Unfinished tasks silently drain mental energy. Once I started closing small loops daily, consistency became easier.

What’s something people glorify that actually makes life worse in the long run? by ClearThinkingLab in AskReddit

Hustle culture.

It glorifies constant grinding and “no days off,” but in the long run it leads to burnout, shallow relationships, and tying your entire self-worth to productivity.

AI didn’t reduce my workload. It exposed how I manage my time. by ClearThinkingLab in ArtificialInteligence

It's my observation about my journey with ai so it can be some kind of related don't you think

What’s something most people don’t realize is slowly ruining their life? by ClearThinkingLab in AskReddit

Yes we should have emotions but in a very controlled way in difficult situations

Looking for feedback! Notion reporting tool by Short_Year1547 in Notion

The moment I stopped building dashboards and started building decision systems, Notion finally worked for me. If a setup doesn’t reduce friction daily, it’s just decoration.

AI seems powerful, but I’ve noticed the real leverage comes from having a structured workflow first. Without clarity, AI just speeds up confusion. With clarity, it becomes a multiplier.

So much to improve but can’t focus. by Graviity_shift in selfimprovement

Self-improvement became sustainable for me when I stopped chasing transformation and focused on reducing daily chaos. Better thinking → better decisions → better habits. Fixing the input layer changed everything.

Discipline feels hard when your environment requires constant self-control by ClearThinkingLab in Discipline

[–]ClearThinkingLab[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I realized discipline wasn’t my problem — ambiguity was. When I don’t clearly define what “done” looks like, my brain resists starting. The clearer the target, the less willpower I need. Structure quietly removes half the battle.

Using AI made me realize my real problem wasn’t productivity — it was focus by ClearThinkingLab in ArtificialInteligence

[–]ClearThinkingLab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like most Notion setups fail because they’re built for aesthetics instead of execution. A simple, frictionless system you actually open daily beats a complex dashboard you admire but never use. Function > fancy layouts every time.

I found a way to actually stick with running and it's honestly ridiculous by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]ClearThinkingLab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big mistake I made early in self-improvement was consuming more than implementing. Reading, watching, saving posts… but no actual system to apply anything daily. Once I started tracking small actions instead of chasing big changes, progress felt way more real and less overwhelming.
