Workflow steps
- 1Create a master databaseBuild one database with columns for title, status, format, publish date, and metrics.One database beats five spreadsheets every time.
- 2Add a workflow viewCreate board views by status: idea, scripted, shot, edited, published.Board views make bottlenecks visually obvious.
- 3Connect to YouTube dataSync published metrics into Notion via a third-party connector.Metrics inside the same view drive better next decisions.
- 4Brief inside NotionUse a template for each video with hook, outline, B-roll, and CTA.A consistent template removes 50% of editing friction.
- 5Schedule weekly reviewsBlock 30 minutes weekly to review the calendar.Calendars without review meetings drift within 3 weeks.
- 6Archive completed workMove published videos to an archive view with metrics.The archive becomes a goldmine for repurposing later.
