✈️ My Favorite Notion Tips

New to Notion and want some pointers to smooth your workspace building? Here are four tips I use in my system that I find the most useful. Each of these examples can help streamline database creation and navigation.

1. Edit Properties Without Navigating Inside A Page

  • Right click on an entry and navigate to “Edit property.”

2. Use Inline Search To Add Database Template Entry Remotely

  • Add new inline link (trigger: "@", "[[")

  • Click "New Page In ..."

  • Search for name of template inside database the page is going to

3. Add Multiple Select Properties Quickly

  • Create a text property

  • Add all selects divided by a comma

  • Convert to "Select" or "Multi-Select"

4. Calculate Progress In Boardview

I use something like this to calculate or compare entries that apply to only one tag.

NOTE: There are a lot of options (as you can see below), for compiling entry information in boardview. I encourage you to play around with this if you are building personal task and team management.
