Excellent! I learned more about Notion in this 11 minutes than I did in several other videos combined. I love the pace, the upbeat music and the simple illustrations.

[@LocalCreative]

Awesome, thank you! Really appreciate the wonderful feedback.

[@SultriAccess]

This was super helpful! I had no idea what I was during in notion

[@LocalCreative]

Glad it helped! There's definitely a learning curve but it's easy once you get the hang of it! :)

[@stephaniemanusiwa]

The BEST Notion tutorial so far and trust me, I’ve watched a LOT!! New sub over here cause Im about to use Notion for organizing my entire life 🔥

[@LocalCreative]

Thank you so much!! That means a lot. I'll keep making them because I know so many people are trying to jump on the Notion bandwagon. It's an amazing tool.

[@katzav]

Completely agree, thank you for putting it together.

[@sarahharry6353]

Thank you SO MUCH for this. I've watched so many notion tutorials and yours was by far superior. So so so useful for a beginner! Please do make more notion videos!

[@LocalCreative]

You're so welcome! So glad you liked the video and thanks for sharing :)

[@outplayed_1283]

I downloaded notion months ago but never really used it because of how complicated it seemed. I watched many youtube videos for help but no one could explain it properly to me. But now i have stumbled open this lovely video which details everything perfectly and at a good pace. thank you!!

[@LocalCreative]

Glad it was helpful! I love simplifying Notion :)

[@matteatane]

thank you for this tutorial! notion is really intimidating because it’s such a blank canvas but this is so helpful and makes the platform more approachable🥺🥺

[@LocalCreative]

You're so welcome! That's always my goal. More Notion videos coming soon!

[@Lizlizzie]

I have watched so many notion gurus , and i must say that this is by far the most simple and minilist do list task on notion , ever ! I just made one with the notion by watching this video. It was so helpful thank you once again

[@LocalCreative]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! I really appreciate it :)

[@mindypweightloss]

This was awesome. Brand new to Notion and trying to make a task list so this helped me to decide how I want to organize things. Thanks!!

[@LocalCreative]

I'm so glad you found it helpful :) Let me know any other Notion newbie questions you have so I can make more videos.

[@ManifestingMariah]

This is the quickest and easiest tutorial I’ve seen. Now I can finally set up task management! Thank you 🙏

[@LocalCreative]

So glad it helped! Thanks for letting me know. I am planing on hosting a Notion workshop soon because so many people love this video.

[@maxharrower2424]

Wow! I’m fairly new to Notion and have been looking for a good tutorial to get started with To Do Lists. This is the best one I have found. So easy to follow and a really good teaching style. Thank you. Liked and subscribed. 😊

[@LocalCreative]

So glad to hear it! Thank you for the kind words.

[@RAVEN-wh6uz]

Thanks for this! I knew Notion is highly customisable but I had no idea where to start with making my to do list. Would love to see more Notion videos :)

[@LocalCreative]

Good to know! I will definitely be creating more in the future. I love Notion!

[@amandashofiyyah2447]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really need this tutorial due to my lack of productivity! This helps me a lot.

[@IsmailSultan]

This is by far the best Notion-101 tutorial for To-Do lists!

[@LocalCreative]

Wow, thanks! Really appreciate it!

[@Moosekeys]

really appreciate this video! I navigated away from notion a while ago to use craft and have come crawling back to notion for the features like this

[@LocalCreative]

So glad! I feel like every time I am tempted to switch (shiny object syndrome) I remember how much flexibility I have and fall in love with Notion all over again.

[@darrellbarbery8366]

Nice video, would you remind updating it for 2023? Many names of commands you used have changed, and their functionality has changed too. I'm brand new to Notion, and this would be very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to educate us. 🙂

[@LocalCreative]

That's a great idea! Anything specific you'd like to see me add?

[@saritadaniellita]

Thank you for this video! This is by far the simplest and most well-explained tutorial I've seen on Notion to-do lists thus far.

[@LocalCreative]

So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for sharing :D More Notion videos coming soon.

I love your explanation. I was looking into various ways to find my own, you're as close to my OCD as possible, lol

[@LocalCreative]

Thank you!!! I love teaching and talking about Notion. It's such a cool platform, but the endless options can be overwhelming. Glad you found it helpful!

[@user-cc6zq2co1j]

Your suggestions are incredibly helpful! I am going to apply them to arrange my time!

[@LocalCreative]

So glad!

[@lisamobley65]

This was the BEST tutorial and incredibly helpful! Thank you, thank you. Please keep the notion tutorial content coming!!!

[@LocalCreative]

That means so much! Thanks for sharing :D I have a new Notion tutorial video coming soon!!

[@levon9]

This was awesome, thank you. Definitely going to check out your channel. Please do more Notion videos, your explanations are clear and just at the right level/length! Much more effective than many other Notion videos I've seen (I'm a newbie, so I've watched a lot)

[@LocalCreative]

Oh I'm so glad to hear it! Anything specific you want to learn about Notion? Or use cases?

[@levon9]

@@LocalCreative Honestly, I don't know enough about Notion and what's possible :) I definitely used your video to help me get started with a simple to-do list (3 columns with checklists/tasks for: Today, Medium-term, Long-term) and I just drag between the three columns similar to a Kanban board. Sort of similar to your first M-F example. I didn't know about making columns and the colors, so that was very helpful. I am not using databases (yet?), so I'm sure I'll get more benefit from going back to this video now that I've used Notion for a few weeks. For now I'm using Notion to keep track of various lists, and notes for things I'm learning. I also plan to look at templates in addition to databases. So while I don't have anything specific to suggest/request, just to tell you that your explanations make a lot of sense, not rushed/too slow, and you aren't talking down to anyone. (Aside: You also come across as very personable) I looked at a bunch of intro Notion videos, yours was the one that gave me actionable and concrete knowledge to use. I would definitely consume any additional Notion content that you created.

[@shazzangel]

Wow, thanks for this. So straightforward and easy to follow for beginners!

[@LocalCreative]

Glad to hear it! Notion has a ton of new features so I'll need to make another new video for this.

[@wasit-shafi]

[@ambaratzin6045]

I love this, this is so usefull. Most videos don't show much about formulas and so. I would love to see a Toturial that has a recurring To-Do list like your Morning Routine and once its 100% compleated it would reset it self and uncheck everything off again, insted of having to type it all over or uncheck each box one by one. Is it even posible to do something like that with Notion?

[@LocalCreative]

Noted! I will definitely create more Notion videos. May I ask what you're using Notion for as an example? Business or personal use?

[@siddharthadas1040]

Hi Ambar looking for a recurring to do list shortcut myself. You don’t need to type again. Select all the completed ✅ ones and uncheck one of them, the rest uncheck themselves. Then change the date of the unticked ones you want to repeat.

[@voigtjessica]

Amazing! I was looking for something like that!

[@Gabemartin95]

This was SOO helpful! Thank you so much. You rock! Do you use the Monday - Friday section? Or just the database? i am trying to think how best to incorporate both into my work flow. Maybe just copy and paste from the database into the M-F section, and when done delete from the M-F section and mark it done in the database?

[@LocalCreative]

Now I mostly use the database with a checklist on the side for quick tasks that I haven't added to my database yet. You can drag items from the checklist to the database which is helpful too!

[@diegoserrano8302]

thank you!! this was really helpful

[@LocalCreative]

[@claudioarenas7107]

Nice tutorial. I don't know if you did it after but there is relatively new simple table item that can be used for these things. Best and happy holidays

[@LocalCreative]

Yes. They released the simple table option somewhat recently and this video was made before it was live. It's a great option but I don't love that you can't sort or use any functions.

Hi, thanks for the great tutorial. I'm currently creating on basic to-do lists like your first example. Once I've checked off a talk, is there a setting to make the completed task disappear, so that only my remaining tasks are seen? Cheers

[@LocalCreative]

Hi! Not for the basic to-do lists. Only databases. But you can create a simple database with a checkbox and different views to show tasks that have or haven't been done yet.

[@thesalonicashinta5512]

Sorry but I didn't follow how to change the color of the headers, business and personal. What are you clicking to see that color menu? When I click on it, I don't see that. I feel like I'm in the wrong section or something because I didn't see where to make the items H1 or H2, either. Thanks

[@LocalCreative]

Happy to help! You click the 6 little grey dots next to any text in Notion and it will open up a menu. Then you click either "turn into" and choose the type of text you want or you select "color." Let me know if that works!

I can't get it to behave like this at all. I don't get the option for inline table. Looks like it's now called "Database Inline". Please do an updated version, maybe replacing this video. This was very frustrating.

[@LocalCreative]

Sadly I can't replace this video (KZbin won't allow me) but I can make a newer version. It's added to my to do list. It's the same thing but now "Database - Inline"

[@zeeeeeman]

@LocalCreative - you can annotate your video with text to explain that it's changed ( no need to replace video ) at 3.47. ( I too hit this today )

[@thedailysom]

I have been using your version for a month now. Thanks a ton for making this :) though I can't see the done pop-up. I must get into the task to view and check/uncheck it. No clue why...

[@LocalCreative]

You just need to add the "done" property to your database view so that way it shows up without you having to click into it. Hope that helps!

You're very welcome!

[@zhenxinghu4889]

It's strange that I could only drag the date in vertical way, not side by side way

[@LocalCreative]

It takes some practice, but if you keep dragging text around to the side you will see the black bar appear and you'll know you can release it in the right place.

[@ahassona]

why I couldn’t make days side by side !?

[@LocalCreative]

It's tricky at first, but you want to basically create columns in Notion. You're going to drag the 6 dots next to text and drop it next to another piece of text. Hope that helps!

[@Alqadr.]

thank yooouu ❤

[@LocalCreative]

You're very welcome :D

[@Swanidhi]

Great video! How can we automatically list all to dos mentiond on multiple pages in a to do list page to track them centrally

[@LocalCreative]

You want to start with all of your to-do tasks in one database instead of multiple databases and then use linked databases to display them on different pages using the filters to only show specific tasks. Then you'll have one master database to refer back to. Hope that helps!

How to create a to do checklist for 3 months , to track the habits. Can you make a video on this

[@LocalCreative]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add this to my list of videos.

[@miscellaneousista]

Thank you soo much for this video. So clear and to the point! I was wondering, how do make the background colour of a heading longer? Like as long as the table/column under it? I saw you just dragging the bg colour to the right, tried it too, but didn't seem to work the same way for me;)

[@LocalCreative]

You can click the 6 dots that show up when you hover over text and then choose "color" and pick a background rather than highlighting the text. Hope that helps!
