I really wish I saw this a year and a half ago when I didn't know what the heck I was doing with my Notion. 😅 But then again this video is only 6 months old. But with what I've built now, I can say I've applied all of these as I learned them along the way myself. I hope many Notion beginners see (and apply) these tips as well! Might I add one more thing: Don't be afraid to integrate formulas! It'll fast track everything. 😊

Thank you SO much for those explanations! I really needed this 😅

How do you get your events to not color the entire bock. It looks like your work block only covers 70% of the block and the other blocks are offset. I'm trying to figure that part out.

If you are struggling with the bi-weekly option, you can check this page out for some guidance! www.notion.so/kalynbrooke/I-Want-to-Add-a-Bi-Weekly-Option-to-My-Bill-Tracker

Thank you again! Would you mind doing a tutorial on creating a page for your kitchen, such as grocery lists, recipes, and things of that nature? I have been looking for a tutorial on something like this but everyone else moves so fast and it's so hard to keep up.

New subscriber here!!! I initially came from the bill pay tracker video and before really starting it, I came to this video that you mentioned at the beginning. So, now I can start that video. I enjoyed this video. It was super easy to follow and not get lost. Thank you, thank you!

So helpful! Thank you for breaking it down so easily!

That happens to everyone, you really into something then things changes and it brings a shift to another thing. Why not giving a shot to a new thing? I’m going to embark on a new journey with the disk bound binders. I’m kind of excited.

Love this video! Thank you so much for taking the time to sit down and walk us through it! I tried adding a bi weekly option but it changed everything and I couldn't figure it out. Any tips?

I used to only use an analog system (e.g. paper lists, planners, etc.), but this year I've decided to try using Apple Calendar and Reminders for lists. It took some time to get used to it, but now I find it so convenient because my planner is always with me. I still use a paper notebook for journaling though. The main reason I switched was because it seemed wasteful to me to keep buying planners year after year just to throw them away, whereas I don't throw away my journals.

This was so helpful, thanks you very much! I am brand new to notion and your tutorial to build not just health pages, but build my notion in general was indispensable. I appreciate you!!

So happy about this - followed the video step-by-step (loved that you stopped at each step to double-check) and I DID IT without having to copy/paste the formulas! Kaylyn, you are such a great teacher! And YES to a video on buttons!

I’ve always really struggled with the idea of “goals” - maybe I need to use a word that resonates more with me.

Looks like you are making great progress through 2024. I hope you make a wardrobe Notion template. I recently had my colors done so I have changed up my wardrobe alot. I would love to keep track of it in Notion. I know you mentioned you journal at night now when you journal. Are you journaling in your Hemlock and Oak or another journal?

So fun! I really enjoyed when you went through your goal updates! 🎉

The Bill Pay Tracker is here! You can try your hand at building it with me in the build video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIqmoH6KgdCef5o) or snag the premade template from the shop: kbcreativeshop.com/products/notion-bill-pay-tracker Also, the semi-annual formula section is being a bit finicky in some use cases, so I recommend changing that to 1/2 "years" instead of 6 "months".

Useful advice, thanks!

You are incredible! You're easy to follow along with and I love that you stop and check mid-formula to ensure your work is correct. You have inspired me to start using Notion!

Thank you

Great video. Explains well

I am having trouble embedding the brain dump to different parts of my notion database.

You need to have your dashboard to try.

Thank you this is so amazing. Your Bill tracker has already come out and that is amazing too! If I needed to add additional cycles (ie weekly, bimonthly) is it fairly simple as in just add these to the formula? I was confused about the additional "if" statement as well and wondered if this would need to be part of these added cycles. Thank you!

Hahahaa, yep, binging the Notion videos got me here! 😂😆

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for!

WOW, this was super helpful. Mondays are pretty “fitness heavy” so I like the Potato Day concept for my online fitness-related things. As always, Thank YOU for your time and expertise. All The Best!!!

I Was Having Issues With The Next Payment Date Formula, It Was Not Reading The Start Date Correctly For The Different Cycles. With A Little Help From ChatGPT haha I Managed to Get It To Work. Here's That Formula If Anyone Else Is Having The Same Issue I Was. ifs( prop("Cycle") == "Annually", if( dateAdd(prop("Start Date"), dateBetween(now(), prop("Start Date"), "years"), "years") > now(), dateAdd(prop("Start Date"), dateBetween(now(), prop("Start Date"), "years"), "years"), dateAdd(prop("Start Date"), dateBetween(now(), prop("Start Date"), "years") + 1, "years") ), prop("Cycle") == "Quarterly", if( dateAdd(prop("Start Date"), dateBetween(now(), prop("Start Date"), "quarters"), "quarters") > now(), dateAdd(prop("Start Date"), dateBetween(now(), prop("Start Date"), "quarters"), "quarters"), dateAdd(prop("Start Date"), dateBetween(now(), prop("Start Date"), "quarters") + 1, "quarters") ), prop("Cycle") == "Semi-Annually", if( dateAdd(prop("Start Date"), floor(dateBetween(now(), prop("Start Date"), "months") / 6) * 6, "months") > now(), dateAdd(prop("Start Date"), floor(dateBetween(now(), prop("Start Date"), "months") / 6) * 6, "months"), dateAdd(prop("Start Date"), (floor(dateBetween(now(), prop("Start Date"), "months") / 6) + 1) * 6, "months") ), if( dateAdd(prop("Start Date"), dateBetween(now(), prop("Start Date"), "months"), "months") > now(), dateAdd(prop("Start Date"), dateBetween(now(), prop("Start Date"), "months"), "months"), dateAdd(prop("Start Date"), dateBetween(now(), prop("Start Date"), "months") + 1, "months") ) )

Time Blocking is the best! I use this method with my Morgen Calendar to stay oh-so-organized! Thank you for such a great explanation. All The Best!

Thankyou so Much

Great video! I'd recommend checking out the Todoist integration as well. I find it's a much better task manager than Notion because it has great quick capture and natural language. I still have Notion connected to Morgen for projects though. Morgen also just added 2 way sync for Notion and Todoist as of 6/15/24 which has greatly improved how time blocking works.

Thank you so much for this video. I’m working with a coach that uses time blocking and she’s had a great explanation. However, I just needed a little more help and this was definitely a great video for me to watch. This is my first time to tackle time blocking and I’m very excited.

Thank you for this video! It took a little pausing and rewinding, but I got it to work without copying the formulas. Woohoo!!!

Thanks for this super helpful tip! 🎉 This will make accessing my most used pages much easier!

I learned something new about each tip! Thank you! I think I need to practice one a week until they are a habit.

how do you add icons to calendars, please?

How do I step by step create my life area database?

I wanted to try it, but I don't use Google Calendar, and this is just a Google Calendar skin. In fact, you can't even download without logging into Google-even when you're already logged into Notion!

Hi! I've been following your channel for a while, you've introduced me to Notion! I've been using YNAB for about 2 years now, and I love it! Question, why do you cross reference your targets in Notion instead of using YNAB targets? If those targets don't change regularly, you could add some periodic reconciliation between YNAB targets and Notion targets, if you like seeing them in both places!

Can you do Google Cal AND Outlook with Morgen?

I really enjoy your videos and explanations. I kind of binge-watched them all. I was thinking about doing a bill tracker and this video was perfect timing. Love your content 💗

I love how you slow down and speak clear. I like how you want everyone to give it a shot. Coding can be difficult but it’s fun. Keep these videos coming.

I find when I mark a Notion task in Morgen as complete it removes it from the calendar (a notification pops up saying that Morgen will archive the task) it does update the task in Notion as complete. However, in your demonstration the task does not remove itself from the calendar. How can I get the task to stay in the calendar view?

Your explenations are on point, thank you🫶🏼i really learned some key points, even though I already made some complex formulas myself :) And for the button: you don‘t have to make it default :) first it will just say add page to…as empty but when you click on empy you can select a template 😊 in this case it doesn‘t really matter, howevet it can sometimes be really helpful🌝

Loved it!! Had a little trouble with the formula at first, but I kept going and got it corrected plus it works now. Thanks a bunch!!

I just found your account and I am obsessed! I love all your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to make them 😊

My aha moment was when you explained the difference between the tasks and the projects and also how to chunk the tasks, I was really struggling for days because I have a lot of projects in progress, and now I realize that I was doing it wrongly. So thank you so much for this beautiful explanation, wish you the best success here on KZbin.

I would like you to do an automate bill pay system

Hi, how you created this Google calendar widget style, is it comes default on iPhone or we can create this same style for android also?

This is awesome! Thanks for all the great tips, inspo & templates! One question though. I came here from your "best of digital & paper" hybrid planning video and was wondering if you are still using paper at all or are you totally digital now? Just curious bc I've been completely digital for the most part when it comes to planning, and have been thinking lately I want to re-incorporate paper planning again, but not sure if that's the right move or not. I still have to fill out the match guide to see what would work best for me, but was curious where you were at currently with paper planning and how that fits into all of this if you are still using it. I know in that video you also mentioned Google Calendar and now you're using Morgen, so thought maybe you stopped paper planning too. Either way I hope you are doing well & thanks again for all the awesome resources & information <3

In Morgen Calendar I can't schedule recurring events customized: e.g. every 4th Sunday of the month. Where in Notion Calendar I can do this.
