This is the ninth entry in a series on my Notion architecture for various life management systems. To see the full series, please visit the home page, Productivity In Notion .

Task management may be my white whale. If you name an app or a system, there's a good chance I've tried it. At this point I think the reality is that I am just a procrastinator, but as with Sisyphus, I will keep trying to push that boulder up the hill!

That said, I've renovated my task management in Notion a lot since the initial Tasks Tracker 1.0 post and the subsequent Task Update: On To "Do Dates". Read those two if you want to understand my evolution on this before checking out what Task Management 3.0 looks like!

So let's dive into what I will humbly describe as a completely awesome task setup! I'll rehash some of the essentials from the previous two posts on this topic.

Tasks are powered by one main database in Notion that has only a couple inputs that are used:

• Name: the name of the task/what shows up on my task calendar and lists
• Do Date: the date that the task is planned to be done on. Left blank if there is not a specific plan
• Project: the Project the task relates to Managing Projects In Notion, which is still a cornerstone of my Notion Architecture
• Several other fields are autopopulated: the creation date I keep as a field for record purposes, and I pull in the Topic (Topic Database) that a Project relates to. This is helpful for filtering purposes as we'll get into.

So that's simple enough, but that simplicity is a feature. You need task management to be as easy as possible to get data into the system.

The magic though of Task Manager 3.0 comes with the "Task Manager Plus" page. This page brings in three different views of the Task Database to create an easy drag-and-drop interface. Let's take a look:

This is the Task Manager Plus - the best task tracking system in Notion!

This may be a bit tricky to read, but don't worry too much about the actual tasks! The point is this:

• The main part of the screen is a calendar, that shows any tasks with a "Do Date" assigned. I filtered this a bit for this screenshot, but normally this would show ~5 tasks each day for the next few days, and maybe a few tasks beyond that.
