it's a long awaited update for the Notion community. Beyond the timeline view, they introduced the ability to hide database properties in card view, so that doesn't obstruct content, which btw, adding content to a database record in a vertical UI is one of the best Notion features, so they made it so much nicer.

just like any new Notion features, there are bells and whistles so, i went ahead and carefully broke them down in today's blog post: https://optemization.com/timeline-view-notion

yeah, sometimes I feel that the FS template is an overkill that's why I delete prompts often. Maybe it's a good idea to create a "simple decision" template.

woah! makes me think, once Notion has reliable API and offline mode, we'll be building entire products there.

What: Two Notion database templates of decisions modeled after the Farnam Street Decision Journal.

Why: To help you and your team make better decisions.

How: Once you receive a link over email, open it and click "Duplicate" on the top right to copy this page to your Notion workspace. Use it.

Here's a blog post about this template was published on the Digital Opssessions newsletter. There's also a video breakdown: https://optemization.com/decision-journal-notion

Huge work! We work together and using this decisions flow (with a slightly different template) for our own team decisions. Gotta say it's very useful, helps wrap ones head around difficult situations

why do you think the vc have not thought of that? also, why do this over like the shl micro angel?

VCs are in a different business with a different model. VC is always great for the VC, not always so much for the founder. So this is a great alternative

yeah agree. there will always be big need for VC capital to fund big billion dollar ideas.

we're focused more on helping folks that want to bootstrap a $5-10m business and don't want to give up equity.

timely as i’m about to figure out how to host online courses for my productivity coaching business. your explanation makes a lot of sense. from a podcast with austin alred of lambda school, i heard that live courses boosted engagement dramatically.

pre-recorded content is attractive because it’s one and done and doesn’t require management beyond occasionally updating. a bunch of creators are looking to decouple time from income. productivity youtuber with sub 1mil followers is making 1k+ per month from one course on skillshare.

since pre-recorded stuff is passive income vs live presentation is active, i think it would be helpful for you to communicate the monetary (hopefully positive) impact of doing live courses versus a pre-recorded ones.

What we’ve discovered that selling pre-recorded courses isn’t necessarily “passive Income.”

Yes, you don’t have to spend your time actively teaching, but do have to feed the sales funnel and create awareness for your product.

With live courses, while your time is spent more on actively teaching, you’re able to charge nearly 3x as much because you are providing real time support.

In addition, while students initially come for the content, they stick around for the community.

that's fun! seeing the game of thrones one made me sad i'm rewatching the show now and the first two seasons are so damn good. can't wait to re-experience the rest

What is human lambdas? Like goluminal.com?

We build highly customisable software for human in the loop operations. Our focus is on the software. We are completely agnostic to the human layer of the operation.

Love it! It's so powerful. Just recently built and entire agency website there: http://optemization.com/home

you thinking something like nocodeapi.com
