Great tips! Thanks.
Yeah, time-blocking seems like a good way to do this. I might need to block it in Chrome by default and only allow myself a certain amount per day in a time block.
Thanks for sharing! Great extension (refinedtweets.com) btw, I haven't seen it yet, installing.
Oh nice, that's a neat trick to know, too. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, but it looked terrible, and there is no way to manually format it properly because Notion doesn't have pages per se.
In addition, if you use internal links (Tables of contents or others), it breaks as soon as you export it to PDF. With Google Docs, they work correctly in PDF.
Ah, OK! I just tested on both Notion and Gdocs, you're right!
I normally export my Notion pages as Markdown, so I can keep all the formatting, and easy for me to update as well. Then I convert them into EPUB.

Oh, nice! I forgot about this project. I will check it out next time.
Thank you!
- That sounds interesting; I never used lists, to be honest. Do you always read the list feed and never go "Home"?
- Yeah, I need to try this too. I was just going on X whenever I have a free minute. Maybe it was ruining the routines.
Just a disclaimer, X can be addicting and I was addicted to it, so this is my way to limit it lol.
You need to filter your feed, block those hardsales, political posts, trolls, etc. It's not good for your mental state, especially when you're checking on your mobile. I only check on "Home" on my laptop, I use Chrome extension filters (like refinedtweets.com) to block certain things that I don't like.
During "work" days, I timeblock my schedule. Scrolling is there for 25 mins (morning, afternoon), longer in the evening when I'm free.

Yeah, had the exact same experience in 2018.
In case someone needs this in the future.
I eventually moved everything from Notion to Google Docs, and it turned out to be the best way.
1. Easy to give access via Zappier automation.
2. PDF generation is much better compared to Notion.
That's good to know. Just keep it simple. We tend to overcomplicate things lol.
Speaking of Notion, have you tried exporting it as PDF?

I really liked "The simple path to wealth" and "The psychology of money". Honestly, these are the only two books most people need to learn about money.
They need to be in schools, especially the second one.
Yeah, I remember I used blocking only once (for COVID), and it worked great. I think I need to start using this feature more often.
