Ben Lang never expected so much hate just from being organized. For the past three years, he and his wife Karen Lynn Amoyal have been using his Notion, a popular software tool, to optimize their home and relationships. His version of the tool, which is commonly used by businesses to manage complex projects, has been enhanced with sections for things like grocery lists, to-do lists, and upcoming travel details. It works like his Google Docs.
Even more unusual is the section written by Lang, a venture capital investor who previously worked at Notion, on principles (“What’s important to us as a couple?”). Another section called “Learnings” outlines things couples have discovered about each other, such as love languages and Myers-Briggs test results. I have a list of friends I would like to set up a date with. They also keep a log of their date night memories. Lang, 30, was so proud of his creation that he started promoting the setup template to others last month. “My wife and I use his Notion avidly to manage our daily lives,” he writes in his X. “I made this a template. If you would like to see it, please let me know.”
