Reflection time template

A few days ago, Dave shared his Notion template for end-of-month reflection time. Here’s what it looks like:

It struck me that it looks a lot like my own one. I guess that's normal since we're both Notion consultants 😉

So what are the common themes here and how can you build your own?

  1. First of all, we both use a "Months" database. This is where you check in at the end of each month.
  2. We also have a few "personal" databases, which are linked to this "Month" database using a relation property. This allows for quick access to everything related to that month.
  3. If you're tracking habits, workouts, or anything else, you can use rollups to automatically calculate the percentage of habits completed. This is a great way to measure progress towards your goals.

One difference between Dave's template and mine is how we show related items. He uses the "Show as property" option, while I prefer the "Show as page section" option. But ultimately, it's up to you 🤙
