Start Every Week Prepared and Grounded
Consistency matters for neurodivergent founders. Every Sunday evening, Notis sends a Slack reminder to do your weekly planning session, so you walk into Monday with a clear roadmap instead of reactive scrambling.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often struggle with forward planning and tend to be reactive. Without a structured cadence, they skip planning entirely and enter Monday overwhelmed. A recurring reminder ensures weekly reflection happens.
- Build a sustainable planning habit with consistent reminders
- Reduce Monday morning chaos by preparing the day before
- Catch priorities and blockers early in the week
- Better manage calendar load before the week starts
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation called 'Weekly Planning Reminder'.
- 3Write this prompt: 'Every Sunday at 6pm, send me a Slack reminder to do my weekly planning. Include a checklist to review my calendar for the coming week, identify priorities, and spot any conflicts or heavy days.'
- 4Set the trigger to 'Recurring Schedule' and configure it for Sundays at 6pm.
- 5Choose a Slack channel for this reminder (your personal DM recommended).
- 6Verify the reminder arrives the next Sunday and use it to kickstart your planning session.
