Curious how people handle having work and personal creative projects in the same Notion workspace without it turning into a disaster. My setup has kind of collapsed into one giant pile where client tasks and personal stuff bleed into each other constantly.
Everything is technically organized but finding anything takes way too much clicking. I have databases for work projects and a separate area for personal things, but they never feel truly separate. The sidebar is always a jumble.
Some people swear by completely different workspaces for work vs. personal, but then you lose the ability to link things across them, which feels like a bigger headache. Others just dump everything into one place with tags or filters doing the heavy lifting.
What actually works for you long term, not just in the first week when everything feels clean and new? Do you keep it all in one workspace with strict naming conventions, or have you found a way to make the sidebar feel less chaotic? Also wondering if anyone uses linked databases in a way that genuinely keeps the two sides from bleeding together, rather than just theoretically separating them.
