Notion Formulas 2.0: Your 10-Minute Jumpstart

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 21:00:35 +0000

Notion VIPs,

Your top request is a tutorial on Notion Formulas 2.0. Today, I'm wildly excited to launch a series that will equip you to leverage formulas and amplify what you achieve with Notion.

It begins with a 10-minute jumpstart on the fundamentals of formulas:

In upcoming tutorials, I'll dive into specific functions and demonstrate how to use formulas in automations. And they'll all have demo databases available in Notion A-to-Z for reference as you practice each new concept. If you're not yet a member, here's how you can join at 75% off for the next 24 hours:

Notion Recurring Tasks in 60 Seconds

Notion FINALLY Made Recurring Tasks Work.

Recurring Tasks in Notion: The Only Guide You Need

Tue, 03 Dec 2024 19:08:51 +0000

Notion finally supports native recurring tasks.

You can now set up a task that will repeat on a schedule. When you complete the task, it’ll automatically update the due date and reset the task’s status – just like you’d expect in other task managers like Todoist or TickTick.

This used to require 3rd-party automation apps, but now Notion supports it right out of the box.

Here’s a summary of how you can set up recurring tasks:

Create a Notion database with a Date property for due dates and a Status property for tracking task status.
Add a Recur Interval (number) property, which will be used to calculate the next due date.
Create either a Button property or a database automation to process the task once it’s finished. This should use dateAdd() to add the Recur Interval’s number to your due date property, creating a new due date. It should also reset to task’s Status to “Not Started”, or an equivalent value.

This process is simple enough that I can show it in under a minute. This video also shows how to modify the Recur Interval with a Recur Unit:

This is simplified look at the process. Depending on how advanced you want your recurring tasks setup to be, there may be additional steps you’ll need to take.

In this guide, I’ll first give you step-by-step instructions to set up the simplest version of recurring tasks. Then, I’ll also show you how to add more powerful features:

Advanced recur intervals – weekly, monthly, last day of the month, etc
Day-of-the-week intervals – e.g. Mon/Weds/Fri
Overdue task logic – accurately calculate the Next Due Date even if the task is overdue
Task History – get a record of each time you’ve completed the task (good for habit tracking)

Don’t want to deal with any of this? Just use one of my templates instead – I’ve done all the work for you.

Notion Templates with Recurring Tasks

If you want to do the least amount of work possible to get automatic recurring tasks in Notion, just grab one of my Notion templates. Each comes with recurring tasks support, already set up for you.

Note: Using a template also gives you access to database automations I’ve built for you. Creating and editing database automations requires being on a paid Notion plan – but if you’re on the free plan, you can still use database automations that are included in templates.

Ultimate Tasks: Fast, Free Task Manager

Learn More

Lastly, if you just want to see how recurring tasks work in action, I’ve created a simple Recurring Tasks template that demonstrates all of the features. You can use it for educational purposes, but I’ll note that it’s not a full-featured task manager.

How to Create a Recurring Task

If you’re using one of the templates I’ve shared above, here’s exactly how to create a recurring task:

Give the task a Due date.
Give the task a Recur Interval.

Once a task has values in both of these properties, you’ll see a Next Due date displayed.

Thanks to the built-in automations in my templates, whenever you check off the task (which sets its Status to Done), the Due date will be set to whatever is displayed in the Next Due date property. The Status will also be set back to To Do.

Note: Ultimate Brain also has an advanced automation that enables Task History as well. See the recurring tasks guide in the Ultimate Brain docs to learn how to enable this.

Optionally, you can also set these properties:

Recur Unit – sets your Recur Interval number to count days, weeks, months, etc. Also includes advanced options, such as “last weekday of the month”.
Days (Only if Set to 1 Day(s)) – allows you to choose specific days for the task, such as Mon/Weds/Fri. Only works if Recur Interval is 1 and Recur Unit is Day(s).

Here’s a quick video showing how this works. Near the end, you’ll see the Status automatically set itself back to To Do, and you’ll see the Due date change.

How to Add Recurring Tasks Support to Notion

If you’d prefer to manually add recurring tasks support to your own existing task manager in Notion, here’s how to do it.

I’ll split this tutorial up into three parts:

Set up simple recurring tasks yourself
Add advanced recur intervals
Add task history

I’ll also note points at which you can skip to the next section, as I’m trying to balance teaching you how these tools work with giving you the best solution as fast as possible.

Set Up Simple Recurring Tasks

You can set up “simple” recurring tasks with just a few database properties and either a database automation or a button.

If you need a refresher on Notion databases, check out my full Notion databases tutorial.

First, create a database with these three properties (name them anything you like; these are just examples):

Property Name	Property Type
Status	Status
Due	Date
Recur Interval	Number

The Recur Interval specifies a number of days that will be added to the Due date whenever you finish the task. For example, if the Recur Interval is 7, then the task will recur weekly. If you complete it while Due is December 1, we’ll add 7 days, making the next value December 8.

Note: If you’d like to add more advanced recur intervals – e.g. “monthly” – you can skip to the section on Advanced Recur Intervals now. The rest of this current section only supports counting recur intervals by a number of days. It’s mainly here to educate folks on how to create simple automations and/or buttons.

From here, we need to create a way for Notion to automatically change the Due date whenever you complete a task. We can do that in two ways:

Automations
Button properties

Automations are absolutely the better way. They’ll allow you to specify a trigger that will carry out the automation. In our case, we want the trigger to be when the Status property is set to Done.

However, creating and editing automations requires you to be on a paid Notion plan. You don’t need to be on a paid plan to use automations that come in templates – another good reason to pick up Ultimate Tasks or Ultimate Brain – but you do need to be on one to create your own.

If you’re on the free plan, the alternative is creating a button property. This will add a clickable button to every page in your database.

Button properties can do almost everything automations can do – they just have to be triggered manually, by clicking the button.

I’ll be focusing primarily on automations in this guide. However, in the toggle section below you’ll find instructions on how to process recurring tasks with a button property.

To create a button property that can process your recurring task, follow these steps.

First, add a button property to your database. I recommend naming it Complete. Next, configure the button with a single action, which sets the Due date property to a Custom Formula value.

In the formula editor, add the following formula. Note that formulas in button properties and automations can’t currently be copied and pasted easily, so you’ll need to type this out yourself:

This page.Due.dateAdd(This page.Recur Interval, "days")

That’s it! With a button property, there’s really no need to mess with the Status property at all. To process the task, you need to hit the button – so setting Status to Done just adds an unnecessary second step.

Also, if you want to learn more about button properties or automations in general, check out the videos in these two toggles:

Did Notion Slide Leak? (+ New FREE Time Tracker Inside)

Thu, 07 Nov 2024 14:47:02 +0000

Hey Notion friends,

This week’s newsletter is packed with exciting updates and a gift just for you! Recently, I asked what templates you wanted, and many of you requested a time tracker. So, I went ahead and created it for you. And yes, it’s totally free.

In this week's edition, you'll find:

A brand new Time Tracker template
A leaked preview of Notion’s Slide feature
How to add custom emojis to your workspace
The Softr integration to build client portals

Let's get to it!

New Free Time Tracker Template

You asked, and I delivered! Here’s a Time Tracker template that’s a bit more powerful than the typical options you’ll find.

This one’s designed with flexibility in mind, offering two powerful tracking methods:

Automatic Tracking – Start and stop sessions with a single click.
Manual Entry – Enter your time manually for greater control.

Whether you’re freelancing, working in a team, or just want better control over your time, this template is made for you. Consider this template my thank-you for trusting me on this Notion journey :)

👉 Grab Your Free Time Tracker

Did Notion Slide Leak?

Here’s the scoop: I stumbled upon a leak on Reddit that hints at an exciting new feature – a Slide block.

Credits: cwacht’s Reddit post

It appears that Notion might be developing a native slide feature, allowing users to turn blocks into slides. This feature includes options for slide numbering, aspect ratio controls, and even a “Start Presentation” button.

If released, this could make Notion a one-stop solution for quick presentations without leaving the app. Keep an eye out for more updates – this could be another game-changer!

Add Custom Emojis to Notion

Announced during the Make with Notion conference (and yes, we missed it in the last email!), the custom emojis feature is a fun update for anyone looking to add a unique flair to their Notion pages.

With custom emojis, you can now add everything from team logos to favorite memes.

To get started, simply upload your own image or GIF and check the “Add to workspace emoji library” option to save it.

Go ahead and make your workspace feel like home!

Build Client Portals with Softr

While this isn’t brand new (it launched just before Make with Notion), Softr’s integration with Notion is definitely worth spotlighting.

It allows you to create client portals or custom apps directly from Notion databases. Imagine being able to securely share specific parts of your task or project databases with clients – without revealing everything.

Well now you can do it with this new integration.

Softr also offers two-way sync, customizable layouts, and controlled access, making it perfect for those needing professional-grade client portals or CRMs.

That's all for today!

I hope you enjoy the Advanced Time Tracker template and get a chance to explore these new features.

As always, feel free to reply with any thoughts or questions, I’d love to hear from you.

Stay awesome,

Notion Mail Leaked? (+ Cool Updates)

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 15:30:13 +0000

Hey Notion friends,

Happy to be back with some fresh Notion updates! I didn’t get the chance to send out a newsletter last week because I’ve been super busy working on something exciting new templates for freelancers and agencies (coming your way very soon)!

But I couldn’t wait any longer because there are just too many thrilling updates from Notion this week. So, here I am with a quick end-of-week email to catch you up!

In this week's edition, you'll find:

Exciting leaks about a potential Notion Mail app
A fresh new feature: add external URLs as buttons
How to check all the devices logged into your account
Plus, Notion databases are now loading faster

Let's get to it!

Notion Mail Leaked: Email is Coming to Notion

Can you feel it? There's a buzz in the air about Notion Mail! Rumor has it that Notion might soon roll out its very own email app. Some users are speculating it could be similar to Spark or other productivity-focused mail apps, but deeply integrated with Notion’s workspace.

Here’s what we know so far:

It could wrap around existing tools like Gmail (or be something new)
It could offer encrypted email options (with Notion’s acquisition of Skiff)
Early leaks suggest we might see something as soon as October

Whether it’s a full-fledged email client or a seamless integration with existing services, one thing is for sure—Notion Mail could completely change the way we handle communication and tasks in our workspace. Stay tuned, and prepare to be amazed!

New: Add External Links to Notion Buttons

A sleek new way to add external links in your Notion workspace has arrived! You can now add visually appealing buttons to link out to external websites.

This feature works for both your internal docs and external Notion Sites, making your pages look much more professional and organized. It’s perfect for creating landing pages or guiding people to important external resources. One click, and your link opens!

Check Devices Logged Into Your Account

Notion is leveling up security with a new feature that lets you see every device currently logged into your account. Now you can easily check your active sessions and even log out remotely if needed.

Just head to Settings -> My Account and you’ll have full control over where your Notion workspace is accessed. It’s a simple but powerful way to stay secure across all your devices.

Speed Boost: Databases Now 15% Faster

Notion databases just got faster—15% faster, to be exact! Whether you’re managing complex projects or tracking personal goals, this update means you’ll spend less time waiting and more time doing. This is all part of Notion’s ongoing mission to make your workspace as smooth as possible.

That's all for today!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on Notion Mail—are you as excited as I am? And if you’re looking forward to the upcoming templates for freelancers and agencies, don’t worry, they’re coming very soon!

As always, feel free to reply to this email if you want to chat. 😊

Hey Notion friends,

So, in this week's edition, you'll find:

New Callout Block for Flexible Design
Notion has made the Callout block a lot more flexible and versatile than ever before.
Here’s what’s new:
Hide the Emoji: If you prefer a cleaner look, you can now choose to hide the emoji in your Callout block.
Customize the Title: No need to stick with a default title—you can skip it entirely or add whatever block you want as the first line.
Add Anything: From checkboxes and toggle blocks to title blocks and even databases, you can now include various elements directly within your Callout.
These updates give you much more control over how you design your pages, making it easier to structure your content exactly the way you want.
Add Links to Your Images
Introducing a new way to make your Notion pages more engaging—Interactive Image Links. This feature allows you to hyperlink images, turning them into clickable visuals that guide you to other pages or external resources.
It’s perfect for creating intuitive navigation, sharing detailed project overviews, or simply making your workspace more visually appealing. To use this feature, just insert an image, select “Add link” in the image options, and you’re good to go!
September Reset: 3 Steps to Organize Your Life
As we step into the final months of the year, now is the perfect time to reset and reorganize. Here’s a simple 3-step process I follow every September:
List Your Life Areas: Identify key areas of your life such as Work, Health, Personal Growth, and Relationships. This gives you a clear overview of where to focus your energy.
Define Your Goals: Set specific, actionable goals for each area. Ensure they are measurable and have deadlines, so you can track your progress and stay motivated.
Track Your Projects: Break down your goals into manageable projects and tasks. Plan them out, so you have a clear path forward, helping you steadily work towards your objectives.
Why It Works
This simple yet powerful approach allows you to see the big picture without getting overwhelmed by the details. By organizing your life into areas, setting clear goals, and tracking your progress, you’ll find yourself moving forward with clarity and purpose.
The Easiest Way to Implement This?
You don’t need to spend hours figuring out how to put these steps into action. With a preconfigured Second Brain system, you can (re)organize your entire life and start moving forward in just a few minutes.

And to make it even easier for you, here’s a special promo code: “SEPT24” (it’s not available on my site). It will give you more than 50% OFF the normal price (valid for the next 48 hours).
That's all for today!
I hope these updates and tips empower you to make the most of your Notion experience and your September reset.
As always, feel free to hit reply if you have any questions or just want to share how you’re using these new features.
