Create quick pages inside Notion as a checklist with the following set of commands, shortcuts, and an inline template. This is a really easy way to turn your Notion workspace into a minimal non-database productivity hub.

How To Duplicate A Page Checkbox With A Template Button
Trigger “/template”
Drag and Drop a page checkbox into the second template box in the template menu labelled “Template”
