This little tutorial will solve a problem I stumbled upon inside the Notion reddit. A user asked how one can tick a checkbox based upon today’s date and to keep past dates ticked. The solution requires a combination of the formatDate and dateBetween functions.
With the onset of users seeking to host websites on Notion with programs like super.so, I figured I’d show you a classic blog layout. Notion pages can be viewed in desktop and mobile. Databases can be filtered and arranged in interesting ways, and with KaTeX formatting, the creative possibilities are expanding.
Find percentage of completion inside a Notion date range. In this tutorial, I will show you how to find percentage of a date range complete in relation to today and how to incorporate an emoji progress bar. What this formula returns: If date range includes today, return percentage of range complete. Otherwise, leave cell blank.
Now that my flashcard and retention system is entirely on RemNote, I wondered if spaced-repetition could exist in Notion without much friction. The answer is … sort of. A while back, I set out to put every aspect of my note-taking inside Notion.
I want to show how one can use multiple databases to create a conditional formula in Notion. For example, the following example uses properties from a "Tasks” database and returns a formula inside a separate “Sleep Tracker.”
If you’re looking forward to a particular date and want to create a property that returns length of time between now and then inside Notion, use the dateBetween function. This function is also useful for creating conditions based on deadlines.
I’ve been working on a big wiki in Notion for a personal project that requires a “Who’s Who” database of important people. That database includes properties like date of birth, place of birth, kinship, occupations, etc. I also included a zodiac property for fun. Here is how I made it.
For those looking for an easy habit tracker that doesn’t have too much friction and fancy Notion workarounds, this one is a good bet. It consists of one database and four different views (archive, calendar, current week, and weekday habit progress). I have an old habit tracking template on the website I wanted to update, so I gave it a shot.
I want to show you how one can use emojis to “spice up” a notes page in Notion. I’ve been using applications like Obsidian, Notion, and RemNote to optimize my research and retention systems, of which emojis are used across the board. I provide an example of this visualization method from a history textbook I found online.
There are a couple of Notion hacks that I can think of off the top of my head that require a Notion Token v2. The first, is required in order to create a Notion-based website and the other to use Chilipepper, a form embed for Notion. Here is how to find your v2 token.
This Notion template is intended for those seeking a database to collect all store inventory outgoing and incoming inside the program. Some elements included are product locations, product inventory, purchases, and refunds that are all connected via relational properties.
I accidentally stumbled upon this trick in Notion. While manipulating some relational properties, I changed the type of property to “Text” and noticed an external link appear in place of the relation. Thought I’d share if anyone plans on cleaning up in-active relational properties.
For heavy Notion users that utilize parent-child relations frequently, here is a model that I’ve been using for my notes that breaks up long lines of relations into hierarchal tiers, visualized inside a board view. Essential the parent note is inside the first tier, the first child note inside the second tier, the child note of the first tier child note in the third tier, and so on. Here’s how it works:
Notion is out with yet another update. They’re rolling out new releases almost weekly these days, which I’m grateful for. This time, it’s inline math. I don’t have a use of equations but I’ve found some use in terms of font manipulation. Here are a few ways I plan to use the new feature inside my notes.
Productivity is quite ambiguous and some days I feelproductive when my output is below average and other days I feel like I've done absolutely nothing when I'm right on track. It's a bit confusing, but that's how my brain likes to play tricks on me.
Using the slice function in Notion, one can simplify the classic progress bar formula created with quite a lot of if statements. This shortened syntax will make the formula a lot easier to write and edit, especially if you want to change the emojis quickly. Let me show you how it works.
Notion has recently released a much-needed feature for power users seeking to maximize database views and minimize workspaces. Now one can manipulate a new database view with more specific constraints through a nested filter.
This Notion template is intended for those seeking a handy tracker to record vaccinations, appointments, medications, dog-walking routes and miscellaneous pet expenses. Notable properties included are Medications, Next vet appointment, Age, Weight and Breed.
Here I'm going to show you how to create a simple status block inside the homepage of your notes in Notion. This status block will toggle into a linked database from your master notes. From here, you will be able to both view bookmarked notes and quickly search for, add, change and delete bookmarks remotely.
What is a self-referential database? Essentially, it's the ability to edit a linked database inside a related database. Changes made to the linked database will appear in real-time.
