DELETING TASK FROM DASHBOARD Automatically = For people wondering how to delete a task out of the list in case of completion: Instead of doing it manually; 1. You add a checkbox-column "Done" to your tasks-table 2. Insert filter in Dashboard-table (= Show when "Done" is unchecked) Optional: You can make another dashboard-table with the name "Completed" or "Done" where you collect all the completed tasks so you have an overview. 1. Create new linked table 2. Filter (= Show when "Done" is checked) Hope this helps!

This is perfect! Thank you so much!! I added a "Quick Tasks" section where it shows tasks that can be completed in 10 minutes or less.

Thank You So Much! Ever Since I setup Notion, I've been the most productive because all my tasks are sorted out and categorised. This tutorial has been amazing and every step were explained in the most simple manner. Good Job Khe and Keep It Up.

Amazing Video, love the clarity in explaining a very advanced GTD system in simple and clear manner. All the best to you both!!

[@Druids234]

This video is very helpful in setting up relational databases in Notion, but it has relatively little to do with GTD. To refresh one's memory (assuming you've read David Allen's book - if not, it is highly to be recommended): The GTD approach is basically a workflow to guide workflows, which involves the following stages: Stage 1: capture - this is crucial: there must be one place where everything that pops up to be done is collected and nothing more; just a place to capture it. In this, the video's Inbox is inadequate: what do you do, for example, with an e-mail task? It would be easy enough, one assumes, to include a link in the Inbox page, to a Notion note with a copy of e-mails (or websites, or whatever) -- the fact that that is missing is a critical lapse. The starting point should, therefore, be a note file with incoming tasks. Stage 2: sort into discard / actionable / reading / someday-maybe (following the 2-minute rule: if you can do it in 2 minutes, do it in this stage); that's all you do: sort and clear out your inbox into these categories. This is a crucial step that is not very clearly reflected in the video. Stage 3: go into the actionable tasks and sort into stand-alone tasks or projects (in both, by location of where it needs to be done). The video is better here (including tags for location), but it would help if there was a database simply for stand-alone tasks. Stage 4: go through each project and designate a next-step task for that project, and move that to an active listing (by location), so that you focus entirely, not on the project as a whole, but on the next step that needs to be taken for each project. This could be set up in Notion, it appears, but the author didn't get this far. Stage 5: schedule on calendar or by priority for each location of where the task needs to be done. The Notion 'GTD' setup presented here, while it's quite clear and perhaps even useful, simply does not reflect the GTD stages. The crucial point about the GTD approach is that in each stage you focus on the simplest possible collection or sorting task to advance to the next stage without getting overwhelmed and without needing to carry to-do or what-am-I-not-doing things around in your head all of the time. Then when you start on a project task itself, you can be confident you are doing the right thing at the right time, and not missing something else you should be doing.

[@liresto]

I liked this video because it introduced me to some important, fairly complex concepts for Notion. Great Video for that. Timothy, thanks for your feedback. I'd like to know what tools do you use? I have yet to find a tool that has most of the GTD requirements but TickTick, for me, comes close. I just can't seem to easily incorporate "Next actions" from projects automatically with it or maybe I've been under a rock.

[@kaylenassani3343]

your still struggling with this you could substitute the “projects table” for a table that will organise item into next action, discard, someday-maybe etc.

[@JohnBrown-nm3pd]

Have you found a solid GTD template for Notion? I want one that actually reflects the GTD principles..

[@kurzsystems7280]

For some day, just leave the date field blank. And for the 2 minute rule, you do it immediately if a task can fit in 2 mins, so you don't have to note it in the software.

[@anurag6384]

That review function came, and i literally giggled, shouting holy shit, its amazing, pressed subscribed.

[@niciathome]

OMG, So good. Thank you so much. I'm in the middle of reading the GTD Book and I was searching for a Notion Video to get started. I love the way you walk me through things step by step. Some stuff has changed since then but I was easily able to understand what to do. THANK YOU from Germany

[@lindandungu7553]

[@ThaisGodinhoTV]

Francesco, I follow your work for years and I love your channel. But you know how GTD can set some expectations when we talk about it. GTD users are very passionated about it and there's a lot of people that are hard users. David Allen never uses or recommends the use of name "tasks". The concept of next action is very different than tasks. He uses tasks in a sense of a pejorative things, like if you never has your lists clear about the meaning of the action itself. Projects always has a verb describing the desired outcome. The use on this video shows projects almost like areas of focus, that it's a totally different horizon inside GTD, and has another concept and idea. The video doesn't talk about the concept of calendar and incubated things - two very important categories on GTD dynamics for next actions and projects. Notion also can be great for reference and support files - not mentioned. The video name title could be changed for Advanced Notion on GTD, but it's not even basic GTD. Thank you for posting and let me know if I can help anyway.

[@nenewapete]

Francesco, this isn’t GTD... by far.

[@PriscilaKlopper]

Hahah I was going to write just that and I was like “oh, loved what this wise person is commenting, let me give her a shout out...” then I saw it was Thais!!!! Só a pessoa que eu leio/vejo quase todos os dias hahaha. Great stuff.

[@PriscilaKlopper]

Also, that “Task”-Project link is also not a good practice, am I right? hahah 😛

Fantastic. That make my watch worth. A lot to learn but this video gave me zeal to learn more about notion.

[@rajgangadharan]

This is really helpful, customising tables and views gives great flexibility over other tasks lists. However, I feel it would have been better to add one of the key elements of GTD, which is “Next Action” view, May be adding a column to project list using a checkbox to show whether it is a Next Action, and creating a view showing tasks and context would help. Again, that is based on the demo you gave on how to create tables, views.

Oh, and I also linked some of the projects on my Projects Table to the already existing pages where those projects happen.
