I am sorry but why are you the only person on KZbin creating great notion tutorials that are short and actually useful. Thank you!! You should start a channel called notion under 7 min. Who has time to watch 25 min tutorial ;)

[@LocalCreative]

Thanks Isaac! I really appreciate the positive feedback. Maybe that will be my next video name ;)

[@siddharthadas1040]

This is very helpful Galen. Having separate views of the database is so much cleaner than grouping. The dragging between copies of the database is something I need to explore. Suggest you do one on formulas that you actually use. Best wishes. Take care 👍

[@LocalCreative]

So glad! I don't actually use a ton of formulas but I have been playing around with it more recently. I'll have to share as I go :)

[@11nica5]

Seriously, this is the most concise notion vid I e seen yet - thank you

[@LocalCreative]

Thank you so much! That means a lot.

[@drsiiiiin]

Oooh myyyyy GOOOOD !!! I really like your Dashboard. thank you for sharing

[@LocalCreative]

Glad you like it! Thanks for letting me know.

[@NJHeart2Heart]

[@LocalCreative]

Thank you! She's the best. Really appreciate the kind words.

[@ambathy4sachin]

yes more content on Notion please!

[@LocalCreative]

Great! I have some videos coming next month on this. Anything in particular you want to know about Notion?

[@ambathy4sachin]

I am particularly looking for a setup wherein I can create linkages between my notes and reference documents and my to-do list or tasks. Basically, i am working on a project which has a lot of referense texts and research data etc. At some point they turn into actionable tasks. I want to be able to push things into my task list from my pages itself. @@LocalCreative

[@pauldittus]

Thanks for the tutorial, Galen. I was wondering how many databases you use inside of Notion (or how you decide when to make a new database). For example, right now I have a Projects and Tasks database. I'm trying to decide if I should separate my personal content from my client projects or keep them in the same projects database. Any tips for deciding when to filter vs make a separate database?

[@LocalCreative]

Great question! When possible I try to keep as few databases as possible in Notion so that things stay organized. For a while I had a team tasks database and a personal tasks database with the exact same properties so that I could easily drag tasks from one database to the other. Now I mainly use my team database and keep my personal tasks as a simple checklist in Notion. Unless things are really personal, almost everything goes into my team tasks database and I just assign it to myself. Hope that helps!

[@pauldittus]

@@LocalCreative Super helpful, Galen. Do you have separate databases for team tasks, projects, and content calendar? Or do you keep it all in one massive database?

[@haleyross2255]

The thing I'm getting confused about is how to I add everything to one master list when I want to create a set (or template) database of items? For example, a client will need the same set of items for branding. How would I be able to add that to one master database without typing each item to the list over and over again?

[@LocalCreative]

You can use Notions template feature for this. Have the template create a new page with a pre-created database with your to-do list. Hope that helps!

[@haleyross2255]

@@LocalCreative That’s actually the solution I discovered! Thank you!
