Organize Your Thoughts with the Sunny Intray for Notion: Your Mental Inbox
Are you tired of drowning in a sea of thoughts, ideas, bookmarks, tasks and articles to read? As I know from my own time as a scientist and researcher, our minds are constantly buzzing with innovative ideas for grant applications, experiments or collaboration ideas.
It’s time to bring order to your chaos and boost your productivity! Introducing the free Sunny Intray for Notion template inspired by the Getting Things Done principle. This template will serve you as a starting point for efficient task management and library archive.
What is an Intray in the Getting Things Done Concept?
As outlined in the book “Getting Things Done” by David Allen, an intray is your mental inbox; a space where you dump all your thoughts, ideas, To-Dos, articles and bookmarks to free your mind and focus on what truly matters. This free template brings this concept to life in a digital format tailored for scientists and researchers.
For many years, I have been organising, storing and managing all my personal and professional projects and tasks with the software Notion. I think it is the most efficient project management tool, which is why I decided to create the Sunny Intray for Notion for scientists and researchers.
