Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often struggle to remember what they accomplished or why. A progress log combats imposter syndrome, provides evidence of work, and helps identify patterns in productivity.
- Clear record of daily accomplishments
- Combats imposter syndrome and self-doubt
- Identifies patterns in productivity and blocked time
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Asana account to Notis.
- 2Create the automation: tell Notis 'Every day at 6pm (or your preferred time), create a new entry in a Google Doc called Daily Progress Log, listing all tasks I completed or moved today, with task names and status.'
- 3Select the frequency and time (daily, weekly, etc.).
- 4Pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by running the automation manually and verifying the log entry appears in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
What time should the daily summary run?
Whenever works for you. End-of-day (5-6pm) is common for reflection, or morning (9am) for planning. Notis runs on your schedule.
Can I filter which tasks to include?
Yes. Include only tasks with certain tags, projects, or statuses. Tell Notis 'Only include tasks from my Design project' or 'Only tasks marked Complete.'
What if I don't complete any tasks that day?
The log will note 'No tasks completed' or you can ask Notis 'Skip the log if nothing was completed.' Your call.
Can I include in-progress tasks or only completed ones?
Either. Specify: 'Include all tasks I touched today' or 'Only tasks I marked Complete.' Your prompt, your rules.
