In this episode, I’m taking you on my personal systems journey—from being a die-hard paper planner enthusiast to becoming a Notion nerd and systems strategist. I’m sharing how my productivity systems have evolved over the years, from using Erin Condren planners and bullet journals to hopping between digital platforms like Trello, Asana, and ClickUp, before finally finding my perfect fit with Notion.

If you’ve ever struggled to find a system that works for you or if you find yourself constantly switching tools in search of the "perfect" solution, this episode is for you.
