Notion template & helper script

Hey all. FYI I’m putting together a Notion template and various helper scripts so you can, for example, run your index in Notion and have file system folders created automatically. Or it’ll watch your file system and if you create a folder there without a corresponding index entry it can alert you.

Or whatever! It’s code. That I haven’t written yet.

:point_right: There’s a Discord thread here for comments/feedback/whatever. :point_left:

Note that you need to already be a member of the Discord for this link to work. See post below. And if it still doesn’t work, it’s the thread titled ‘Notion template & Deno script’ in the #01.01 channel.

That thread now has a couple of Notion templates linked.

I seem to be unable to see the Discord message, nor find the JD channel on Discord. Can someone send me an invite link por favor?

Sorry, I’m not the best at Discord. That link might only work if you’re already a member of the channel.

I guess I had unjoined during some recent clean-up. But now I’m back in, and thank you :slight_smile:

That discord link didn’t work for me either

Odd. Try this one?

I was just thinking about sharing two tools that I have that I believe correlate to activities people using this system may commonly want or need to leverage. One is a batch file that Tag’s Folders (not files) through a context menu, the other is a Bulk Renaming excel file that can rename files and file paths based on an existing list. Would discord be the best location for these items to be shared?

If they’re on GitHub, create a new post here and share the links?

I’m a little late to the party in this thread — but I’m intrigued!
I’ve finally restarted the J.D. workshop so haven’t used the Life/Admin package yet. I also just signed up for the Biz package. That’s the background part.

The deeper I get into the workshop the more I realize I may need to start 2 systems — using two distinctly different apps — I think :thinking:. Sometimes it’s hard to believe, but we do have a small, home based, product based business and sometimes even a life!

I love Bear and its ease of use for me — a collection area for my daily online roaming as well as creative notes that drop in and out of my ‘1st’ brain.

I do however keep waffling and dashing in and out of the Obsidian and Notion rabbits holes — trying to determine which one would work best for both my Biz and Life requirements.

It’s becoming clear to me that I may just need both, and am leaning heavily towards

  • Developing the Life/Admin pack in Obsidian — where I can keep life and personal things private. I can see this as a perfect area to blend personal and creative activities and thoughts — linking them together in a simple map. (I also use MindNode for mind mapping and love it)
  • Developing the Biz pack in Notion — where it’s DB backbone would be far more useful for my rather large and growing collection of course creation assets, as well as a CRM for both existing and future clients.

We currently have a product based biz, but will at some point be transitioning towards an online coaching biz, with both an online one to one, one to small group, webinar based offering as well as an online coaching academy. I don’t see Obsidian being the engine that would help make this biz model work, thus the nod to Notion.

So, the big question is (finally, eh :wink:) has there been any more development on using JD with Notion?

I think this is a wise strategy. I keep personal in Bear and business in Obsidian.

I’ve not touched Notion in some time. Not that I don’t like it, just haven’t had time.
