đź’™ 01: A Quiet Start


This is Email #1 of my 2026 series.
No big announcements .. just a quiet start.

As we’re already a few weeks into 2026, I wanted to take a quiet moment to reach out and say thank you. Looking back on 2025, I feel incredibly grateful for the journey and for people like you who made it meaningful. Truly, thank you for being part of it. 💙

There’s something special about this time of year. The rush of “new year, new goals” starts to settle, and what remains is clarity, what we really want to build, improve, and focus on. Whatever 2026 holds for you, I hope it brings growth, calm progress, and moments you’re proud of.

For me, 2026 isn’t about doing more.
It’s about building better systems, slowing down where it matters, and creating things that actually help—not overwhelm.

If this year you’re aiming for:

  • more focus
  • simpler workflows
  • or a calmer way to manage life and work

I’ll be sharing small thoughts, lessons, and tools throughout this series.

And if you’re already thinking about organizing your days or projects better, I’ve put together more than 100 Notion templates you can explore anytime .. no pressure at all: 👉 Click Here​

Here’s to moving forward with intention, celebrating small wins, and making 2026 a year that truly feels like yours. Thank you for being part of this journey, it honestly means more than I can put into words.

Wishing you a grounded and fulfilling 2026,

ABDO (Notion Creator)

The 3 pillars I’d use if I had to rebuild my Notion workspace from zero.

When I first started using Notion, I did everything wrong.- Too many dashboards.- Too many databases.- Way too much “aesthetic” tweaking. If I had to start over today, I’d do it differently. Here’s exactly how: 1. Start simple.One dashboard, not five. A central page with links to everything. 2. Build for function, not looks.A clean system > a pretty system. You can always add aesthetics later. 3. Focus on 3 pillars. A task manager → keep projects and to-dos in one place. A knowledge hub →...
