As a freelancer or solopreneur, your time = money.
So how can you always know that what you’re allocating your time towards is generating the highest ROI as it can?
By having a business coach that evaluates your completed and upcoming work to identify low ROI patterns and guarantee you're focused on making the most.
This week’s Notion Kit shows you how to turn ChatGPT into a personal business coach by connecting ChatGPT to your Freelancer Hub in Notion.
Once set up, you can ask ChatGPT to:
“Identify ROI mismatch trends” (ChatGPT: You logged 58 hours this week, but 70% of income came from one client)
“Suggest where to cut scope or reprioritize.”
“Flag low-ROI tasks and time sinks.”
The result? Smarter boundaries, more sustainable growth, and energy left for your best work.
Let’s build it. 👇

You're my personal business coach, review my "Freelancer Hub" in Notion, and provide a report card of my time allocation as it relates to higher and lower ROI tasks. I want you to check for things like too much spent on lower pay per hour tasks. Consider my time a finite resource with roughly 40 hrs to spend each week on my work.
