Balancing the Search for Novelty with Having a Single Source of Truth
You might know the hunt for the one planner to rule them all. You find it, and two weeks later you're bored and looking for the next one. I believe that the solution lies in balancing novelty with a single source of truth.
Connect Everything in One Place
A single source of truth is one place that holds everything in my life and business. For me, that's Notion. It doesn't need to do everything. It just needs to connect everything.
Let Your System Hold It
When I open Notion in the morning, it regulates me. I used to think that was weird. Then I learned that with ADHD, we need external regulation in order to feel internal regulation. It's not something to fix. It's something to work with.
Because Notion holds everything, nothing is floating around in my head. This gives me the mental capacity to tune into where I’m at with my energy, my cycle, and my family. Then I take one minute to reschedule anything I won't do today.
Add Novelty on Top
That stability gives me the safety to bring in a little novelty without chaos. I move just today's tasks into a container that I feel like using just for fun. That container can be a daily planner printable, my Sacred Pause dashboard, or my Say Yes to Desire planner.
I'm not recreating a whole system. I'm just honoring my need for adding a dose of novelty to my day so that my brain is happy and content.
Ready to create your own single source of truth?
If this resonated with you, I want to invite you to join Sacred Systems, the Notion solution for sovereign women. It gives you one place that holds your whole life and business, so you have the stability to play with novelty without the chaos.
