In my latest YouTube video I show how a Notion user can quickly duplicate a scheduled event like a weekly review, bulk edit titles, and distribute the duplications to corresponding dates quickly. The following is how I did it. This trick is especially useful for those working with recurring tasks.
In this video I walk through how I conduct weekly reviews with Notion. I use both a database and inline template, linked database, and different database views to make it work. Recalling the past week's actions is important to understand how to move forward in the most efficient and balanced manner.
To add a bit of flavor to your Notion workspace, I recommend focusing on important visual cues like the deadline indicator below. Inside a database with a deadline date property, the following is how to grab the deadline’s day of the week. This Notion formula uses the functions dateBetween, now(), day, concat, formatDate and slice.
Notion’s reminders are a handy feature that allows users to set up reminders via an inline date. Those reminders will trigger a notification inside and outside the reminder’s original page. This feature is extremely handy for those using Notion as a task management hub. The following is a minimal approach to a timetable using reminders.
The Enneagram is a chart that plots 9 specific personality traits in a 3x3 circular graph. Every trait has a common center. There are three traits in the Instinctive Center (Gut), three in the Feeling Center (Heart), and three in the Thinking Center (Head). Inside Notion, I created an enneagram database that connects to a database for character profiles.
I’ve found that writing inside Notion is quite pleasing due to the clean interface. The ability to organize narrative elements inside a database is one of many advantages for writers. In this template bundle I created a jumping off point for bloggers, freelancers, and book writers to start drafting with Notion’s boardview (a.k.a kanban).

I set out to design an alternative to a recipe dashboard in Notion I made a few months back. Included is a calendar to plan meals that is connected to an ingredients database to archive several meals in relation to say “eggs.” Overtime, the user can reference the ingredients database to determine what meal to make next.
Are you an artist, content creator, have a new project in mind, or frequently forget fleeting ideas? I’m the latter. I created this little pipeline to help me quick capture ideas inside Notion using boardview. If you’re new to Notion, you’ll learn that boardview is essential for developing ideas, workflows, and collaborating with large teams.
Let's look at how to return dates within a business week parameter. If you are returning a number of days after a date, but want to exclude all weekends, here a few ways to accomplish that. I go through the long-form and short-form formula styles to return the same result. I go over nesting and the use of a matrix.
If you’re looking for the ability to allocate tasks into a timetable, but have a hard time figuring out how much time each task should be alloted, I created this smart task planner to do that work for you. All you’ll need to know is how many hours you have available to work, and task difficulty between 1-10.
In addition to this distribution table I made to show me based on today’s day of the week what content I should publish, I set out to solve one more problem: show me what tasks I need to get ready to publish tomorrow. In short, add one day to today and return any tasks that contain tomorrow. Here’s the formula breakdown.
During today's noodling inside Notion I set out to create a "content distribution" table that displays certain tasks assigned to a particular weekday. For instance, my table will show me content that must be distributed on Sundays only when today is Sunday. As well, I figure out how I can integrate "every other week" and "monthly" options.
