Jan 01, 2025
In the fast-paced world of assisted living, staying organized is crucial for success. Whether you're launching a new assisted living business or managing an existing facility, having the right tools can make a huge difference in how smoothly everything runs. One tool that’s become essential in my productivity toolkit is Notion—a flexible and customizable platform that can help you keep everything organized. Today, let’s dive into some top Notion resources and tips for taking your assisted living business to the next level.

Getting Started with Notion
If you’re new to Notion, you’ll want to get familiar with the basics. Recently, we shared how to create an advanced to-do list with Notion, showing how the platform can help you organize your day and stay on top of essential tasks. But that’s just the start—Notion’s flexibility makes it a fantastic tool for everything from everyday tasks to complex project planning. With Notion, you’re in control of how you want to organize and streamline your business.
Exploring Notion’s Resources
Once you have the basics down, you’re ready to explore everything Notion has to offer. A great place to start? YouTube. There are tons of creators who share their unique Notion setups and pro tips. Simply search for “Notion” with your favorite YouTuber’s name or explore general Notion tutorials to get inspired; Thomas Frank is a favorite of mine. These videos offer plenty of ideas and walkthroughs for setting up your workspace in a way that makes the most sense for you.
Another must-visit is the Notion Template Gallery. This collection features tons of pre-made templates that you can easily adapt to fit your needs. Whether you need a to-do list, a habit tracker, or even a vision board, the gallery has something for everyone. To use a template, simply duplicate it into your own Notion account, and then start customizing—no need to worry about altering the original design.
Customizing Notion for Your Business
One of the best things about Notion is how easily you can tailor it to your needs. For example, if you’re managing an assisted living facility, you can set up a project management dashboard with Notion. Use it to track resident care plans, staff schedules, or maintenance projects all in one place. With customizable databases and pages, you can create a system that evolves with your business, giving you control over every aspect as you grow.
On a more personal note, you can even create a vision board in Notion. Unlike traditional boards, which can be tough to update, a digital vision board is easy to access and change as you go. You can keep your goals front and center, add new aspirations, and track your progress—all from any device.
Free Resources to Boost Productivity
Most of these resources are free, which means you can dive into Notion without any upfront cost. Explore the template gallery, watch YouTube tutorials, or check out the Notion website to get started. Plus, Notion offers a range of other helpful resources, like tutorials, webinars, and a support center, all designed to help you make the most out of the platform. These tools make it easy to connect Notion with other programs you might use, like Google Docs or Gmail.
Take Action and Start Building
The secret to unlocking the full potential of Notion is simple: just get started. Whether you’re creating a simple to-do list or designing a full project management dashboard, taking that first step will get you closer to improving your organization and reaching your goals. As you continue using Notion, you’ll discover new ways it can streamline your work and help you stay focused on what matters most.
