The main workspaces I have (which mainly serve as a way to organize information and then I view them in my dashboard, project tasks, and schedule) are organized into "buckets" or the really broad areas where I spend my time (e.g., research, teaching, service.). I've favorited the pages (databases? still wrapping my head around the terminology) I use a lot, which include my weekly dashboard, my course schedule (because I'm course prepping right now), and my project tasks (which I review during weekly planning or when I'm adding new tasks). And while there are still a lot of projects that aren't moved over from Dynalist yet, the basic structure is there, which I figure is what's most helpful!

It wasn't until I saw fellow academic, Katie Linder, talking about Notion on her instagram stories and in her You Got This podcast that I finally thought, okay I'm going to give this a try.
