Second Brain for Project Managers | Notion Project Database
Tired of hunting down tasks, updates, and docs across five different apps? Same. That’s why I built this Second Brain / Notion Project Database and Task Management System to help you run your projects like a pro! This clean, customizable Notion workspace brings every project, task, and note into one streamlined dashboard.
Built by a real-life cat-wrangling project manager (hi 👋), this system saved me hours each week, helped me delegate better, and made weekly reports actually easy to write. Whether you’re managing a team or juggling multiple hats solo, this template gives you clarity without the chaos.
What’s Inside:
🧠 My “Second Brain” dashboard with projects and task databases
🗂️ Projects database with linked tasks, progress bar, status, owner, due dates, updates, and tags.
- Each project page is ready to go with a Project Brief Template and a Task view filtered by that project.
✅ Task database with linked project(s), status, person responsible, due dates and priorities
- You can see all tasks from all projects in one place or toggle on and off one project at a time to avoid task paralysis.
🔍 Multiple views filtered by owner, project, or status
📎 Notion is also embed-ready to add your own Google Docs, PDFs, and more
Why It Works:
This isn’t some bloated, overdesigned notion board. I tested and tweaked it in the wild while managing multiple real-world projects. It’s designed to work for how people actually manage tasks, not how we wish we did.
Best For:
- Project managers (official or unofficial)
- Creative entrepreneurs & freelancers
- Notion lovers who want control without the clutter
- Anyone who’s tired of chaos and context switching
