Welcome to Your First 90 Days Manager Hub
You’ve just stepped into the big chair. It’s exciting, messy, and probably a bit terrifying. This Hub is your map, your compass, and the friendly voice in your ear saying, “You’ve got this.”
Below you’ll find a part‑by‑part field guide. Skim it now, then come back when you need a nudge or a playbook. Every section is here to save you hours of guess‑work and help you show up as the leader your team deserves.
1. Quick Create Buttons 🚀
- Why it exists
- Clicking around in Notion eats time. These buttons drop new pages straight into the right databases.
- How to use it
- Hit Add New Meeting Note the moment a meeting invite lands. Jot an agenda stub so you’re not staring at a blank page later.
- Tap Add New Team Member the day someone joins. Capture their goals, strengths, and “please don’t” triggers.
- Smash Add New Quick Win whenever you spot a low‑lift, high‑impact idea. Momentum loves speed.
- Use Add New 30/60/90 Task for anything too chunky to be a quick win but too small to sit in limbo.
- Hit Add New Journal Entry or I Winged It when a moment feels worth unpacking. Reflection is where instincts get sharper.
2. My Top 3 Most Important To‑Dos for Today 🎯
- Why it exists
- Decision fatigue is real. Picking three must‑dos forces ruthless clarity.
- How to use it
- Each morning, brain‑dump your gut list elsewhere.
- Circle the three that scare or excite you the most.
- Move only those into this box.
- Knock them out before lunch if possible. Afternoons get hijacked.
Pro‑tip: If you finish early, add one more. Never five. Three is magic.
3. Daily Habit Tracker ✅
- Why it exists
- Leadership is a game of tiny repeatable actions. This list keeps them visible.
- How to use it
- After lunch, open the tracker.
- Read each prompt out loud. Sounds silly, locks it in.
- Check the box if you truly did it. No judgement if you didn’t.
- At week’s end, peek at your hit rate. Pick one habit to double down next week.
4. 90 Days To‑Do Tracker (Kanban) 🗓️
- Why it exists
- The classic “Listen‑Learn, Set Expectations, Take Action” arc made visible.
- How to use it
- Phase 1 – Listen Learn
- Drag tasks here during weeks 0‑4. Your only job is discovery.
- Phase 2 – Set Expectations
- Weeks 5‑8. Align goals, roles, and success metrics. Drop tasks here.
- Phase 3 – Take Action
- Weeks 9‑12. Execute the plan. Tasks land here when ready to move.
- Move cards rightward as you progress. Left‑behind cards reveal bottlenecks.
- Review the board every Friday. Archive done cards. Wins feel great; clutter doesn’t.
