APEX OS was designed to be fast to set up. Most people are fully running within 15 minutes. Follow these steps in order and you'll have a working life operating system before your next coffee cools down.
Duplicate to your Notion workspace
After purchase, you'll receive an email with your personal Notion link. Open it and click "Duplicate" in the top-right corner of the page. Select your workspace and click "Duplicate" again. That's it — APEX OS now lives in your Notion.
Tips
- Make sure you're logged into Notion before clicking the link
- Duplicate to your personal workspace, not a team workspace
- If you don't have Notion yet, create a free account at notion.so — it takes 2 minutes
Open the Command Center
Once duplicated, find the "⚡ Command Center" page in your sidebar. This is your home base. Bookmark it or pin it to your sidebar. Everything else in APEX OS connects back here.
Tips
- Pin it to your Notion sidebar for one-click access
- On mobile, add it to your home screen via the Notion app
Set up your profile
Open the "⚙️ Setup" page inside APEX OS. Fill in your name, your top 3 goals for this quarter, and your core daily habits. This takes about 5 minutes and personalizes the entire system for you.
Tips
- Be honest with yourself about habits — start with 3 max, not 10
- Your 90-day goals should be ambitious but achievable
- You can edit everything at any time — nothing is locked
Add your first tasks
Open the "✅ Task Hub" module and add your open tasks. Assign a priority (High / Medium / Low) and a due date to each. They'll automatically appear in your Command Center today-view.
Tips
- Don't try to add everything at once — start with this week only
- Use the "Deep Work" tag for tasks that require focused time blocks
Log your first habit check-in
Open "🔥 Habits" and check off your habits for today. Your streak counter starts now. The XP system rewards consistency — every day you check in, you earn points.
Tips
- Check in at the same time every day to build the routine
- Even partial days count — don't skip because you missed one habit
Start your daily ritual
Each morning, open "🌙 Daily Ritual" and spend 3 minutes on the morning intention prompts. Each evening, spend 2 minutes on the evening reflection. This is the glue that makes the whole system stick.
Tips
- Morning: set 3 priorities for the day
- Evening: log one win, one learning, and your energy level
- It feels small. The compounding effect over 90 days is significant.
