🔖 A Bookshelf Template
This bookshelf is intended for those seeking a library for books read and books currently reading in Notion. I included the following properties: Custom ID, Progress Bar and Read Difficulty. It is a minimal table, gallery and board view database sorted by a custom ID which includes Author, Genre, Title and Year Released.
My second brain dashboard for 2020 is heavily focused on small habit creation that may eventually produce successful large projects. I have personal habits as well which include reading 100 pages every day. This bookshelf is the database I'll be using, growing, adjusting over time and also happens to be the books I'm starting my reading habit with for the year. Yes, I've never read Pride and Prejudice. It's a shame I know.
I wanted to focus on a Custom ID property for my bookshelf using a Notion function called "slice." This ID provides a quick reference as my collection grows. And if you’re wondering, this bookshelf fits well under the Books label of my 2020 bullet journal.
Formula for Custom ID:
slice(prop("Author"), 0, 3) + slice(prop("Tags"), 0, 3) + slice(prop("Name"), 0, 3) + format(year(prop("Date Published")))
