In my Notion dashboard, I list my financial goals at the start of the year. I use these goals as my “north stars” to inform the financial actions I take in the months ahead, and I cross them off as I complete them.
I set up monthly budget in the form of a pie chart, with designated targets for: fixed expenses (housing, cell phone bill, etc.), discretionary expenses (food delivery, events/experiences, travel, etc.) and savings and investments. (If you're not sure how to balance these categories, the 50/30/20 rule is a good place to start.)
Looking at the amount I can allocate toward savings and investments, I determine how I want to divvy that amount into each of my sinking funds. For example, A% can go into my 401(k), B% can go into my IRA, C% can go into my emergency fund and D% can go into my housing fund.
Within my Notion dashboard, I also link to external Google spreadsheets, where I track my net worth growth over time, monthly contributions to my savings and investment accounts, as well as week-to-week spending.
With all of this information in front of me, it makes it easy to reflect on my financial progress and habits. Then, I can determine any areas where I want to adjust my spending/saving strategy moving forward.
