What benefits do I get for organizing my templates as components?
Organizing tools like Notion templates can become complicated, especially when you’re juggling multiple workflows and streams of information in your life. With so many moving parts, it can be overwhelming to manage everything within a single system. That’s where components come in.
Most of the time, we need to solve one problem at a time. To do that effectively, it’s important to break down the challenge into its fundamental parts—first principles—so we can focus on what really matters and take actionable steps.
Components help you do exactly that. They allow us to group similar databases together into manageable chunks. This modular approach simplifies the larger system, breaking it down into smaller, more focused parts that you can tackle individually. By organizing everything into components, you’re able to manage your workflow more effectively and avoid being overwhelmed by the complexity of the full system.
Each component is made up of 1 or more Notion Databases, and they are categorized into two sections.
| Understand Yourself | Databases that help you see and understand your situation at a glance. |
|---|---|
| Unlock Your Potential | Database that help you take action to improve your situation, and tracks your progress. |
How do I use a component to make life better?
Each component is geared to solve through the first principles. Together, the databases included in the component will help you solve a specific problem for you. This will usually be communicated in each of the component guides that are in this help center.
