Weekly Planning Template

I've developed a weekly planning system in Notion that has significantly improved my productivity and work-life balance. Here's how it's structured:

Weekly Overview

Each week starts with a high-level view of key objectives, important events, and focus areas. This gives me a clear sense of what success looks like for the week.

Daily Task Blocks

Tasks are organized into three categories:

• Deep Work: Tasks requiring focused attention and creative thinking
• Shallow Work: Administrative tasks, emails, and quick to-dos
• Personal/Health: Exercise, meditation, reading, and other personal development activities

Time Blocking

I've found that allocating specific time blocks for different types of work has been game-changing. My most productive deep work happens in the morning, so I protect those hours from meetings and distractions.

Weekly Review

Every Friday afternoon, I conduct a review to assess what went well, what didn't, and what I learned. This reflection helps me continuously refine my planning system.

The template is customizable, but having a consistent structure has helped me maintain focus and reduce decision fatigue about how to organize my time.
