Notion brag doc template vs Look At You Go
A Notion brag doc template is free and flexible, and it works well if you already open Notion every day. Most people's brag docs go quiet after a few weeks, though, and get rushed the week before a review. Look At You Go swaps the document for a 90-second weekly check-in. Pick on habit, not features.
| Notion brag doc | Look At You Go | |
|---|---|---|
| How you add entries | Type into a page or table you set up from a template. | A 90-second weekly voice or text check-in. Prompts ask what happened, what you did and what changed. |
| Structure | Whatever the template gives you. You can change anything. | Fixed prompts: what happened, what you did, what changed, where the proof is. |
| Reminders | None unless you set them up yourself. | A weekly reminder, with quiet hours you choose. |
| Price | Several brag doc templates are free in Notion's gallery. You need a Notion account. | 14 days free, no card. Then £5 a month or £49 a year. Basic capture stays free after the trial. |
Where Notion brag doc is the better choice
- You already live in Notion and want your record next to everything else.
- You want full control of the layout, and it costs nothing.
- Your employer already pays for Notion and approves its use.
Where Look At You Go is stronger
- You have started brag docs before and stopped. A weekly prompt and talking instead of typing helps the habit stick.
- Entries come out structured, so they are usable when you write a pay rise case months later.
- It keeps your record separate from work tools your employer controls.
Where Look At You Go falls short
- It costs money for analysis after the trial. A Notion template is free.
- Less freedom over layout than a page you design yourself.
- Your record is in another app, not alongside your other notes.
Which should you pick?
Pick a Notion template if you already open Notion daily and are confident you will update it every week.
Pick Look At You Go if the blank page is what stops you, or if you want the record ready when pay review season comes round.
