Hey, I’m Minh 👋 I’m a productivity nerd who lives out of a suitcase (seriously—I travel 80% of the time for work). Between airport lounges and hotel lobbies, I build Notion templates that help busy people and fellow travelers stay organized!

Europe is good for my heart with the amount of walking I'm putting in

No more sitting at the desk! 🙌🙌

But my social battery is also taking hit 😂

I need proper alone time for my template!

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · Jun 3

The weirdest thing this week so far is taking supply chain lessons in a room similar to court room 😄

It's still one of the most beautiful room I've ever been in though

On other note: 30 mins window to take care of my emailing for Notion, that should be good right?

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · Jun 1

I know it's like 5:45pm in the US but I am ready to go to bed

Will pick things up tomorrow!

P/s: I don't have jet lag, so is it a blessing or a curse?

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · Jun 1

I guess it's morning in the US now

Just arrived in hotel, kind of love the weather in UK now

Dinner with the team tonight, right now I just want to take a nap 😂

3-hours sleep and 1 coffee to hold me together, at least I made notes what I'm gonna do to my Notion biz 🤘

Working on this Notion side biz.
Hoping my flight isn't delayed or cancelled because of the weather.
Also remembered I need to train people on SQL.

Honestly, I didn’t plan to build a life like this.
But it’s kind of working.

1 day until my flight to Europe.

⛈️ Weather advisory just dropped
📦 Still haven’t packed
👕 Laundry done (small win)
📬 Email scheduled for next week
💻 Back in Notion after finishing work

Life balance? No.
I call this “chaotic precision.”

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 29

The thing about Replit is that at least for me personally,

it helps cut down the need for massive database or different databases in the same Notion template

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 29

2 days until I fly to Europe.

✅ More Replit x Notion ideas
✅ New Notion template almost ready for freelancers
✅ Aggressively attacking overdue day job tasks

Time management?
No.
It’s a boss battle.

Next 2 days plan will be:

- Work
- Pack
- Finish up a book I'm reading
- Laundry
- More Notion related business
- Have at least 1 blog ready

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 29

Just got home.
✅ Showered
✅ Chugged water
✅ Spent 3 hours at the airport tweaking my Notion template like it was national treasure

Now I’m staring at my blog calendar like:
“You better behave while I’m in Europe.”

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 28

Replit and I are still in the “we tolerate each other” phase.

But slowly, we’re becoming friends.

(Mostly because I need it to behave before I fly to Europe and disappear into timezone chaos.)

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 27

Mass-duplicating things for warehouse training

Taking a “break” by… working on my own Notion template.

Still fumbling my way through Replit.

Flying back home tomorrow.
Flying to Europe Saturday.
You could say things are calm and under control. 😅

Built more with Replit x Notion

Everything is good so far

I'm falling into a rabbit hole 😜

Memorial Day special:

✈️ Plane Wi-Fi (later today - yes, travel for work again)
💻 Replit x Notion testing
🧠 Brain switching between API & newsletter headlines

This is what happens when you have way too much fun as a creator
And I wouldn't change a thing.

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 26

Most people end their Sunday smelling like charcoal and sunscreen.

I smell like stress, ambition, and Notion dark mode.

But Business OS is looking cleaner than ever.

Shipping season isn’t seasonal.

Messing around with Notion x Replit

#Notion #Buildinpublic

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 25

I basically travel nonstop since February up until now

And then there was a Notion request for a quick edit / fix, eventually they turned into something more

And the one I'm working on right now evolves into something bigger than expected 👀

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 25

Everyone else is planning for BBQ.
I’m debugging a Notion template that’s acting like it pays rent.

Every weekend turns to “Memorize Database Relations Weekend.”

Business OS doesn’t sleep — so neither do I.

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 25

Birthday dinner for my sister ✅
Full belly, full heart.

Now back in bed with my laptop… because these Notion layouts aren’t going to fix themselves.

Some people party. I prefer duplicating dashboards

It’s 94°F outside.
I’m inside building custom Notion layouts like it’s a competitive sport.

Banks's music on full blast.
Me, dragging a database block like my life depends on it.

Saturday, Notion-style.

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 24

My current workspace:

Left monitor: flight confirmation

Right monitor: Notion formula debugger

Brain: buffering

People ask: “Where do you usually work from?”

I say:

"Gate B-27"
"Marriott Wi-Fi"
"My seat on the plane before it takes flight..."

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 23

Late night thought 140:

🧳 Packing for tomorrow's flight
🌀 Wondering if I’ll travel again before Europe
But still… I’m thinking about the Business OS that I created

Sleep is for the well-adjusted.

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 23

Simulating a warehouse feels like building IKEA furniture while someone yells “Faster!”

But hey — at least I got the data and layout.
Will it break the already built functionality? Pretty sure

All in all, things are going swimmingly

Minh Chau | Notion Creator @mchau13.bsky.social · May 22

My boss is paying for dinner tonight 🍽️
Which is great because I’m:

Still simulating a warehouse
Flying home tomorrow
Potentially flying again before Europe

Meanwhile I’m in Notion like:
"How in the world to make custom layout looks nice?"
