OneNext
A calm execution layer for Notion that helps you choose one clear next task.
Why this needed to be built.
OneNext is a Chrome New Tab experience that uses Notion as the source of truth and helps the user decide what to focus on next. Instead of presenting a large task list, it surfaces one recommended task and a small number of alternatives, then supports a focused work session.
Approach and execution.
Designed a calm execution layer on top of Notion. The product reduces the number of visible choices, supports a focus session, and records real work time back into Notion.
