Then, create linked views of the database for each month and set up the filter to only show you tasks for this month and the current year. I encourage you to check out the fantastic templates for inspiration. Here’s the formula: formatDate (now (), 'YYYY') formatDate (prop ('DO Date'), 'YYYY') Now, just as before, you can design your own yearly calendar on a Notion page. You can even share your templates with others at Notion’s official template gallery or the user-created. Now, experiment to your heart's content! This powerful feature can be combined with databases and embedded blocks to make you incredibly productive. Using the search function it's a trivial task to track down what you did on any day. With this, you could have your agendas separated by months, weeks, and days. Inside the weekly agenda template contains a "Weekly Agenda" template. You can do this by creating a "Monthly Agenda" page which contains a weekly agenda template. Now, say you wanted to separate your weekly agendas by weeks of the month. Nicely done! You've successfully created an agenda using templates. Or, on desktop hover over the "Start New Day" and tap the gear icon. on "Start New Day" then select Configure. If you want to try the template out, go here to view my Weekly Agenda page then tap "Duplicate" to save it to your workspace. You can preview below what I came up with.
Remember this is our template page, not our actual page. Inside this new page, replace Untitled with "Day (DATE)".Add a new page to the Template field using the ➕ Button again (or "/page").Add "Start New Day" for the Button Name field.Create a Template using the ➕ Button and select Template (or type "/template" on desktop).This page will be an overview of your week, with each day having a dedicated page. To demonstrate the power of templates, let's create an agenda in Notion. This is the power of templates.Įspecially in combination with Notion’s other features like databases and sub-pages, templates have so much potential to make repetitive tasks fast and simple. Now, imagine this button can generate any text, page, or block type. There's a button "Add new task" at the bottom that generates a new to-do item when you tap it. Templates allow you to turn a page or blocks into a pattern that can be duplicated with the tap of a button.
This time we'll take a deeper look at one of Notion's most powerful features: templates. My previous post What Makes Notion Great was about my favorite features of Notion.so and what makes it an incredible productivity tool.
