Finding your Style in Notion
Do you get bored or feel frustrated when note-taking apps don't allow you to customize your thoughts? Such as using pictures, fun widgets, or even adding your personal calendar. Well, Notion allows you to reflect on who YOU are and be as creative as you want! That's why Notion is pretty much used for everything in my day-to-day life.
I'll be making a Youtube video (link attached), on more of Notion soon, so don't miss it. Check out its exciting widgets you can add to your template below.
Today we are going to be learning how to find your style, by the following:?
Weather Widget
Notion allows you to embed all types of fun widgets onto your page, but you have to know where to go and what to do if you want to implement things like this. It's simple to add, and a great widget to have. Follow the steps below.
You can size the wideget to your liking! See below.
Mini Calendar Widget
On my Agenda page, I like having a calendar widget because it helps visualize where in the month we are, and it's also very simple to add!
Below you will find the widgets you can create and embed into your notion template, along with an example of my personal calendar
Template Button
Now I want to show you how to create templates that are convenient for you. In my agenda, I created this new week template button, so I can enter what needs to be completed this week, archive the previous week, and keep it going. The goal is to save time on previously repetitive tasks.

How to Create & Use an Archive
Notion has an archive feature, simply navigate to | New Page |Templates|' Personal' | Weekly Agenda | Select Archive. See below.
I took the idea from here, but in order to create an 'Archive' you do the following:
Create Templates Databases
When creating templates, Notion offers a lot of different formats you can choose from, check it out below. Make sure to play around with the different kinds. In this example, we are going to use the 'Table Database' to showcase my Youtube Content Creation Table.
Here you can see that each video Topic Idea has a page leading to a new template page, but this way I can view all my videos in one database, and it will be easy to access moving forward.?
Two Ways to Access Templates
The two best ways to access tablets are directly from the app or Notion's main webpage. Here we will just talk about Notions pre-designed templates within the app. You can find options by simply navigating to the left sidebar and finding the 'Templates' bar ( as shown below).
Or after clicking 'Templates' as noted above, you will see the below page. Here you can click ' Browse more templates' and will be navigated to Notions Web page. You'll have soooo many options to choose from!

3 年Really appreciate these Notion posts. We have Notion at Kicksaw and I was a little frustrated with it at first having come from Evernote, JIRA, etc. but these tips are helping me to understand how I can leverage it better.
