The “hot girl” mentality, coined by rapper Megan Thee Stallion, is a state of mind that oozes nonchalant confidence and shameless flamboyance. While the pandemic has put a damper on hot girl activities for two years and counting, the term has evolved to describe the put-together “it” girl that perfectly balances pleasure and poise in all aspects of her life.
Here’s where Notion comes in:
For those unfamiliar with the program, Notion is Google Sheet’s cooler, more aesthetic older sister. It retains many of the same organizational and formatting features of Sheets and presents them in a seamless, easily accessible (and arguably, prettier) format. For these reasons, it’s the perfect place to organize everything from schoolwork, to expenses, to book lists.
In a time where it’s easy to succumb to listlessness, Notion encourages productivity in a digestible way. With a plethora of ways to organize and customize, it’s the perfect place for hot girls to put their lives together.
Don’t be intimidated. Notion is for everyone, and to prove it, I’ll be sharing my favorite templates that will help you attain your hot girl status.
