After spending 15 years as a graphic designer and earning a business degree, I launched my agency, OGAL Web Design, in 2017. A year later, after finding the amazing community around WordPress, I co-found The Admin Bar, which has grown to become the #1 community for WordPress professionals. I'm a husband and proud father of three, and a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Are you tired of losing your documents in the vast expanse of Google Docs? Join me as I unveil a straightforward Notion setup that’s revolutionized my document management. After switching to Notion eight months ago, the clutter and chaos are things of the past. In this video, I will:

  • Share the key reasons behind my decision to transition from Google Docs to Notion.
  • Give you a tour of my minimalist yet effective Notion setup, highlighting three primary databases: Companies, Projects, and Documents.
  • Demonstrate how the interlinked nature of these databases creates an incredibly organized system, making it easy to sort, filter, and locate any document.
  • Explore Notion’s rich content capabilities, from embedding videos to creating nested pages and more.
  • Dive into Notion’s powerful templating feature, showing how it can save time and ensure consistency across your docs.

Whether you’re new to Notion or looking to simplify your existing workspace, this video will provide practical insights to achieve better organization without unnecessary complexities. Remember, it’s not about packing in countless features, but about creating a streamlined system that truly serves your needs.
