Building Leverage with a Notion Tracker

Imagine building a Notion Tracker that can track all of the most important documents like visa deadlines, passport deadlines. You can repurpose this and sell it as a template to people on the internet, making it part of your Notion Ambassador program.

This achieves three things by building one.

Key Thinking Process

While building this, think:

• What else can I use it for?
• What other applications does it have?
• Where else can I apply it?
• How can I repurpose it and create something new from it?

This mentality is helpful because it turns one effort into multiple results. For instance, when I'm building an LLM to repurpose my thoughts in Naval's writing style, I can:

• Document the process and share it on social media.
• While the primary project is building the LLM, I can also repurpose it into social media content, sharing my learnings.

Other Examples of Leverage

Building leverage is about maximizing the impact of your efforts. Let’s explore a few practical examples:

• Personal LLM Tool for Specific Tasks
  You could enhance its front-end, market it, and sell the software. The main project remains building the tool, but it can be repurposed in different ways.

• Gym Workouts
  By vlogging about gym sessions, you can build a social media following. Your primary goal remains fitness, but you also gain a new audience.

The point is, everything you do can be repurposed into something else. You could even write and publish a research paper on your work.

Repurposing in Action: The Notion Tracker Example

Creating a Notion Tracker for managing important document deadlines, such as visas and passports, can serve multiple purposes:

1. Sell it as a template to others facing similar challenges.
2. Contribute it to the Notion Ambassador program, expanding your influence in the community.
3. Use it as a case study in productivity optimization.

The key is to approach projects with a mindset of repurposing and multi-purposing. Ask yourself:

• What other applications could this project have?
• How can I expand its utility beyond its original purpose?
• Where else can I apply the skills or knowledge gained from this project?

Build Systems that Reciprocate

By adopting this mindset, you're not just completing tasks or projects; you're creating assets with multiple use cases. This is the essence of building leverage — making your efforts count in more ways than one.

Everything can be repurposed:

• A personal productivity tool can become a marketable product.
• Your learning process can become educational content for others.
• Daily experiences can transform into compelling narratives or case studies.

Conclusion

Building leverage allows you to benefit from multiple areas of your life and work. Over time, you create systems that continue to reciprocate value with minimal additional effort.
