The Problems Creators Face with Organization

Most content creators today have heard of Notion, and many rely on it to manage their creative process.

But just a year ago, things were very different.

Many creators juggled multiple apps to keep their business, content, and life organized.

Apple Notes for content ideas, Google Calendar for scheduling, Excel for finances, Microsoft To-Do for tasks, plus separate apps for habits and journaling.

Their productivity system was scattered across six different apps, creating more chaos than clarity.

I was no different. Before discovering Notion in 2019, I was constantly switching between tools, trying to keep track of everything.

Alhamdullilah, I found Notion early, but many creators were stuck in a fragmented system.

That's why today, I want to introduce you to a tool that brings everything into one place, easy to access, interconnected, and designed specifically for creators.

My Story of Creating the Creator Brain

When I started creating content, I needed a way to plan and organize my workflow.

I used Google Keep for content ideas while managing tasks, habits, and personal life in Notion.

But as my content creation grew, I realized I needed something more powerful, something that could handle social media scheduling, affiliate links, content assets, and more, all in one place.

That’s when I built Notion Creator Brain.

If you're familiar with the concept of a Second Brain, this is the version tailored for content creators.

The first version (3.0) was good but not great. It had its flaws, some complexity, missing features, and a learning curve.

But over two years, I continuously refined it, focusing especially on making it simpler and more intuitive.

Even with improvements, new users often felt overwhelmed at first.

Why?

Because they were transitioning from using six different apps to having everything in one.

It takes about a week to adjust, but once you do, it changes everything.

In 2025, we launched Creator Brain 4.0, the best and most streamlined version yet, 70% simpler, more powerful, and built to help creators stay productive without feeling overwhelmed.

Why Notion Creator Brain is the Only Planner a Creator Needs

I could simply tell you to check out the features on the official website, but I want you to understand why this tool is different.

So, let's walk through a real-life example of how you’d use it as a content creator.

It’s Sunday morning, and you’re planning your week.

You open the Creator Brain and start by organizing your tasks, both personal and content-related.

Maybe you have a gym session (personal) and a studio cleanup (for filming a new YouTube video).

You plan your content for the week, outlining scripts, gathering assets, and noting down any ideas that come to mind.

As you work, you link sponsors to your content, assign tasks to specific social media channels, and track your progress on larger projects, like a new course or product launch.

You check your goals to stay motivated and review your daily status, which shows how many tasks you’ve completed, habits you’ve tracked, and content you’ve published.

Throughout the day, you use the template to take notes, track your reading progress, and even journal before bed to clear your mind.

And all of this happens in one place, no switching between apps, no lost ideas, no fragmented workflows.

The Creator Brain is designed to be your all-in-one hub for creativity, productivity, and organization.

And that’s just a glimpse of what Creator Brain offers. Instead of juggling multiple tools, everything is seamlessly integrated.

No more searching across apps. No more disconnected workflows. Just one powerful system that grows with you.
