two all-in-one notion templates built to hold every part of your life — so you can finally stop starting over and actually stay organised.
✦ SECOND BRAIN VS LIFE OS ✦ BY JDDESIGNONLINE
💻 dash — your daily command centre
tasks, projects, priorities, and your goals — the page you open first thing in the morning and actually want to use.
🪴 health — everything wellness
habits, meal planning, a fitness tracker, and a journal. all in one place, so you stop tracking things in four different apps.
🌼 extra — the fun stuff
reading tracker, film & tv tracker, finance tracker, and a notebook for every random idea. four of my best-selling standalone templates, built right in.
⚙️ admin — the tidy backbone
mobile view, databases, and an archive. it's doing its job so well you'll barely notice it's there.
✦ most comprehensive
your brain is full. like, actually full. the second brain gives everything a home — notes, projects, goals, and all the in-between stuff — so you can stop trying to hold it all in your head.

✦ clean & streamlined
life feeling a little scattered? same. life os brings it all together — clean, minimal, and actually easy to pick up day to day. it's not trying to do too much. it's got everything you need, exactly where you'd expect it.

> nope — both templates work on notion's free plan. as long as you have a notion account (free to create), you're good to go.
> a basic understanding helps, but you don't need to be an expert. if you're brand new to notion, i'd recommend exploring their beginner guides first — but the templates come with video walkthroughs to help you get set up.
> after purchase you'll receive a pdf by email with a download link. click through, sign into (or create) your free notion account, and duplicate the template into your workspace. it's yours to edit from there.
> life os — it's cleaner and more intuitive to pick up. the second brain is brilliant, but the para method adds an extra layer of structure that's easier to appreciate once you're a bit more familiar with notion.
> both templates are designed and optimised for desktop. they do work on mobile but the layout will look a little different to the listing images — both include a dedicated mobile view to help.
> absolutely — once you've duplicated the template into your notion account, it's yours to make your own. add pages, change names, adjust layouts — there's no wrong way to do it!
> because this is a digital product with instant access, all sales are final. if you run into any issues getting set up, please reach out before requesting a refund — i'm always happy to help troubleshoot.
