Multi-source task manager - Notion template

Your work does not arrive in one place, so your task list should not live in five.

Multi-source Task Manager is a Notion system that brings tasks from email, chat, meetings, clients and web forms into one ranked list. It then shows you which sources, projects and tags need attention.

Capture a task once, link it to where it came from and what it belongs to, and let the rollups and formulas do the counting.

How it works

1. Add your Sources. List the places work comes from: an inbox, a chat channel, a weekly meeting, a client.
2. Capture tasks. Link each task to its Source, Project and Tags.
3. Set the basics. Choose a Priority, Due Date and Estimated Hours. A Focus Score ranks every unfinished task for you.
4. Work from the Focus List on your dashboard and log Actual Hours as you go.
5. Process your notes. Turn meeting notes and call summaries into linked tasks and see how many actions are still open.
6. Review weekly with the Needs Attention view, the Deadline Calendar and the Project Timeline.
