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.

Minimize Properties In Notion And Breakdown Goals With Backlinks
With the use of inline links in Notion, one can create connections with other pages and databases in a workspace without a relation property. I want to show you how I’ve been minimizing my property use in Notion with the following technique. The example I use is for goal setting, but I primarily use this for relating notes.

Build A Backlink Master Page In Notion To Organize Links
I want to upload an impromptu backlink video and some creative ideas you could explore with the new feature. I've been playing around with how backlinking can work with my workspace and these are the first steps I want to make toward that integration. Thought I'd record the thought process and share my build. :)

Zettelkasten In Notion And How I Use Its Principles
I've always wanted to tackle the zettelkasten method inside Notion, but the lack of backlinking has held me back thus far. Now that linking backward is available, I'm able to quickly group related notes without excessive relation properties. Today, I want to show you how I plan to implement Zettelkasten principles into my Notion workspace.

New Feature: Notion Backlinking, The Basic Structure
There's a big new Notion feature - backlinking. One can now create inline pages remotely, and connect pages backward. For example, if I were to create an inline page called "Sep 13, 2020" inside the body of my notes that connected remotely to a daily document database, I can now navigate back to my notes via the database without creating a relation property.
How I Tackle Idea Development In Notion
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.

Notion Tip: Add Emojis And Icons With Templates
If you’re a design-oriented Notion user and icon lover, you need to start using the template function to make icon implementation easier. I like to use icons to make my dashboards pretty, but also, as an extension for classification. For example, in addition to a select property, I include an emoji to improve visualization of my notes.

Notion Tip: Add Entry To Database From Body Of Page
If you’re looking to create a Notion workspace with minimal friction, using the in-line template is a must. Especially so, using a template to add new entries to a remote database without having to navigate to the table. Place a button like this in your dashboard for quick access to daily databases like the habit tracker below.
Notion Template: Save Tweets And Include Tags In Webclipper
I've been neglecting my webclipper for quite a while due to my lack of what to save. Since I've been on Twitter more than I probably should, I figured I'd create a database in Notion that saves my favorite tweets. In addition to saving tweets, I created a formula property that extracts a profile's handle and another property to makeshift tag automation for webclipper.

How To Build A Timeline With Notion Board View
Notion has teased the upcoming “timeline” feature for quite a while with no discernable release date, however, if you’re looking for the ability to build a timeline that spans a vast amount of time (ie. years or centuries), this is what I’ve been using for my history notes. As well, I will show you how to connect notes to this timeline with relation properties.
One Notion Database: Week, Month, Year Views
I noticed that my personal to-do list setup allows for the visualization of three key database views in Notion. And so, I thought I’d use it to show how one can create a weekly and monthly view with one database. Also, I know a lot of users are wondering how to view a database in a yearly format. Here is how I do it.
Using Inline KaTeX For Notion Page Layouts
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.
