Start for freeThe All-in-One Notion System for Total Life Organization
Thomas Frank has finally revealed his complete second brain system, Ultimate Brain, within Notion, an all-encompassing productivity tool that manages tasks, projects, notes, goals, and more. This system is designed to organize your entire life within a single app - a goal Thomas has pursued since he began using Notion in 2018.
Capture and Organize Effortlessly with PARA
Using Tiago Forte's PARA organization system, Thomas's Ultimate Brain allows for seamless capturing and categorization of ideas, notes, and tasks. It incorporates both the PARA methodology and the Getting Things Done (GTD) workflow within Notion.
Quick Capture on the Go
- Quick Capture Dashboard: A one-stop destination to swiftly record tasks and notes directly into your Notion inbox, minimizing friction and maintaining productivity on the move.
- Task and Note Inboxes: Default destinations for new entries, which remain until you assign them to specific projects or resources.
- Web Clipping Extensions: Tools like Notion's web clipper and the Saved to Notion extension simplify capturing web highlights and notes.
Action-Oriented System Breakdown
The Ultimate Brain takes an action-oriented approach, focusing on the actions you want to take and streamlining the process of organizing your life.
Daily Planning and Self-Care
- My Day Page: A virtual whiteboard to plan daily tasks alongside self-care reminders, ensuring a balanced approach to productivity.
- Daily Journal: A feature for those who like to write daily reflections and plan their days with a more detailed approach.
The Flexibility of PARA in Notion
Thomas explains how Notion's database capabilities enhance the PARA method, allowing for more flexibility than traditional tools. With Notion, you can relate information from one database to another, enabling a customizable and dynamic organizational structure.
Integrating Goals and Projects
- Goals Dashboard: Separate from the project hub, this dashboard allows tracking of larger life goals with milestones and related projects.
Specialized Views for Books and Recipes
- Book Tracker and Recipe Book: Using the master notes database, these specialized views showcase how Notion's databases can be tailored for specific needs, acting as a personal Goodreads or cookbook.

Thomas's Ultimate Brain system is not just a personal productivity revolution but also a ready-to-use Notion template available for purchase. With comprehensive guides and tutorials, it's designed for both Notion beginners and advanced users.
