Notion - Blog Posts

notion dashboard template

i finally made my notion into a template (like 7 months later....)

it includes:

dashboard

trackers (daily, sleep, dreams, music, games, books & comics)

journal (personal + therapy)

mental health resources

meal planner & recipe book

friends, birthdays, & gifts

planning for the future: wishlist, bucket list, home, etc.

witchy stuff

& more~

it's meant for dark mode, but the notion site automatically shows it in light mode so forgive the glare. i did my best to include instructions on each page as well.

if there are any images missing credit that you know of the source, please let me know!

explore & get it here!

duplicate it here!

"What’s that notion app on your phone?"

Does anyone else use Notion to take notes and stay organized?

I thought I'd list a few tips of making Notion more fun to use as you study/journal! And perhaps some of it is already SUPER obvious so I'm sorry if this list ends up being useless🥹💗.

I'll be using a mock-garden journal template to point out the tips!

1. Add emojis to your database titles—or to everything!

Add emojis to everything! It can honestly make it more fun to look at, even the calendar above looks cuter (double click to zoom in)!

But if that is a little overwhelming, but you still want to use emojis in a “quaint” way, you can make your database title a series of emojis. Like below!

I clicked the three dots, then clicked “edit database title.” I chose three tulips just to keep it on my garden-theme. So cute! 🌷🌷🌷

......................

2. Utilize the calculate button—in case you didn't know how to!

Maybe you already new this but I struggled to figure this out at some point lol! At the very bottom of a table right after the "+ New page" row, if you hover you'll see the "calculate" row.

When you want to add/average/whatever just click the "More options"! Yay, math!

......................

3. Solid colors as covers (from Unsplash) are very relaxing!

This one is super simple. I find that sometimes a solid cover for gallery pages is really nice to look at.

So I’m prone to typing specific shades I’m looking for into the Unsplash menu:

What I do is, I click a page, go to 'change cover' and choose Unspalsh. Then type in something like “pastel green” or “baby pink”. If the options aren’t enough, you can go directly to unsplash.com and find a free one! Example below of lovely solid colors!

......................

4. Easily change card sizes to adjust your galleries aesthetic

You can easily change card size to a just the aesthetic of your galleries ! Go to the little three dots at the top of your gallery (shown above), click layout, then card size! Now you can choose between S, M, L!

Bonus tip: if you go to ‘card preview,’' still under layout, you can choose what will be displayed on the front of your cards.

In the above example, I chose ‘page content’ 'cuz all the bullet points and todo lists looked so neat! Hehe! But you can choose 'page cover' if you have a fun image/color.

......................

Ands that’s all my loves! Let me know what you think in the comments! <3

If you like the look of these template snapshots and you coincidentally need to organize your garden project or any other project that fits the vibe (hehe), you can get it for free! I'll pop the link to it in the comments!

I hope this is helpful-ish!

HUGS!

Hi there!

I’m going to start posting on my Tumblr at least twice a week (I’m starting off low, to see how I organize) :)

How’s your week going? I hope that it’s going great, and of things are a little bit upside down; don’t worry. There’s absolutely nothing that time can’t heal <3

Here I bring you a little pic of my December favourites (I guess I’m a little late oops ) /zebra mild liner •cold colors•, tombow brush pen, muji stationery and Notion, an organization app (the rest is just for aesthetic reasons lol)

Well, that’s it for today. Here I’m going to leave a quote; to keep you inspired for the week and a little reminder ☺️

~ old ways won’t open new doors ~

~ be present, focus on today, be kind, be grateful, make sure that your loved ones know that their loved, and most importantly; make sure that you know you love you ❤️

A person’s actions may be a result of careful thinking;

they may be a wim based on precursor principles and ideas,

although they might just as well be without a meaning.

A shell.Or not?

A wall.Or not?

Ensuring the groundwork behind every action should be the first priority.

None can be commenced whenever it is missing the meaning that should be conveyed.

However fundamental I regard this notion to be,not many do so nowadays.

Therefore I am left wandering about whether the meaning I see is real or made-up by my own beliefs,thoughts and needs.

Humans can be rather imaginative when it comes to deciphering the smallest of actions.

Nothing is almost ever delivered in its integrity,

May it be for fear of giving away the true meaning and reason they formed in their minds;

Or for a specifically intended reason,which,for all intents and purposes,is intangible.

Day 6/60 - It’s Monday again!

Hey guys! I took the weekend off, went on some walks and just relaxed a bit😊

Today I updated my Notion, adding all the tasks I have to do✨🥰

I also managed to read half a chapter of my social psychology book, plan an essay that is due in a few days and write some summaries for previous chapters I have read!💖 All of it took me around 3 hours. I’m really proud of myself that I studied that much today✨🥰

How are you doing?✨

3/100 days of productivity

Soooo I have a test tomorrow, my project is due soon, and my head hurts and overall I don't feel that well… That being said, I have made a Notion dashboard! I was inspired by work by a looot of people here, so I wanted to give a try too!

And I have to be honest… It's waaay more practical than i initially thought! I am genuinely excited to use it as a hub for anything that interests me, and I can see myself using this for a loong time! Here is how it turned out:

I was heavily inspired by this tutorial, so if you wanna create something similar, here u go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrhFvIsq86g

I still have to make the dashboard for my uni specifically, but I gotta take it one step at the time! Also I GOTTA STUDY FOR MY TEST, which I did 😅

P. S. My board is in Serbian, if you were wondering what language that is 😆
