We’re getting ready to celebrate 50 issues of The Portal and almost 2 years of building Spacetime together… which means we’ve though about this productivity sh*t a lot. This week, we’re sharing the 11 fundamental building blocks that make up our modern take on productivity, as well as a NEW PRODUCT 🚨

WE WROTE A FCKING PRODUCTIVITY MANIFESTO —*

This one is the opposite of that — it’s simple and can be used immediately, even if you’re brand new to Notion. If you’re already a Notion expert, it can live right inside your existing dashboard.

We designed it to feel like you’re filling in a “piece of paper” on the computer, with a few bells and whistles that make it fun to interact with 😎
