Notion Build With Me: My Timeline View Setup

[@vitalis]

This channel is so seriously under-subbed for the quality of content here and on the website. Guys remember to do it and spread the word to do our bit in recognising all the knowledge provided.

[@kennygo5053]

Hi Gregory, Thanks for your simple tip. I was struggling learning notion because so many people teaching very complex way to utilizing the notion theseday. it looks like using notion itself become a big task. but I learnt here very best tip that is adding the checkbox on the timeline view. this kind of simple way can allow me to share my timeline with my team. otherwise, using the complex way is always ignored by people using existing excel, ppt. so Notion should be very very easy to use!

[@amdenis]

So glad you seem to be feeling better! Great video.

[@RedGregory]

Yes! Thank you!

[@oneforallah]

LOVE U LOVE U LOVE U THANKS FOR THE TEMPLATE ! I watched almost 5 videos and they all tricked me since the supposed *free* template was behind a paywall / email entry thing. But you my dear have actually fr shared the template and won my heart and my SUBSCRIBE ! KEEP HELPING US ALL GOD BLESS YA GREG

[@yvonlangue]

Welcome back 🙌🏾I've bee waiting for the Timeline view too, and your video is great as usual. Thanks!

[@RedGregory]

Yay! Thank you!

[@onceappuonatime]

I can't thank Red enough for figuring this out for us.

[@eduardofragoso827]

Thank you, finally a good video on this amazing feature. Of course it could ONLY come from you. Keep up the aweosome content.

[@RedGregory]

That's very sweet. Thank you :)

[@GrowWithHassanArif]

Thank you for creating such a simple and full of info tutorial. I wanted to use Timeline and subtask but couldn't find any way. This really helped me in doing so.

[@huggingpuppy2613]

Love the video per usual! I also love the outro it seems like a elevator closing, I'm a fan!

[@RedGregory]

Glad you like it! :)

[@rache1sc123]

Wow excellence tutorial video! I never knew notion had this many features especially the coding part!

[@porfiripetrovich7323]

I've just started using Notion a couple of weeks ago and this is by far the best channel for learning i've found. Your content is so good! Btw i hope covid didn't give you too much trouble

[@diriehdalierdlb]

I couldn’t understand all the possibilities I had with Notion but with your template and your explanations I got a better view of the App ty!

[@MrCromakey]

Amazing! Tks a lot!!!! I'm using obsidian for bottom-up ideation, but I needed a Retroplanning tool for my PhD. Your process is life saving ;)

[@SarahNorris]

Currently breaking my new year goals down into more manageable chunks and this is super helpful, so thank you! The more I learn about Notion, the more I love it ahah

[@KylfatherPLAYZ]

Welcome back Thanks a million

[@olafwilloughby3495]

Excellent video, thanks and glad you are recovered :)

[@Johnny_Stingray]

This really helped me clean up my timeline view. Thanks and I hope you recovered well!

[@tonyak.3448]

Thank you, thank you!! I'm relatively new to Notion and this video not only showed me how to set up timeline for an ongoing project but how to organize my yearly goals! Thank you so much

[@soymarinavenancio]

I'm always surprised about how your mind works! Thank you for this video! You gave me more ideas to try in my setup for next year. I tried creating more than 6 timeline views in my personal account, and that worked just fine but I don't want to rely on this view and get they blocked someday hahaha I hope they change their minds about the limitations. This is a powerful tool but even with the possibility of changing the range of the view, I feel like I need this timeline in more than one page and more than one view so I can sort in different ways... Thanks again!

[@jacobvarney160]

I tried creating 3+ timeline views for a database, 3+ databases with a timeline view, 3+ inline timeline views. I also have no idea what they mean lol.

[@eli.alcaraz]

What a nerd! A Notion Nerd! Thank you, so much value in this video. Love love love!

[@carmencsillamedina3377]

The Notion tutorial i've been looking for! Your way of organising things really fits my preferred way of organising things so I'm really grateful to have the tools now! I also got excited to learn more about the formulas. :) Keep up the good work and I hope you soon will get more subscribers (just became one :) ).

[@leverage5317]

thank you so much, these are such useful tips! i used the timeline view for scheduling tasks i already made because tasks have default lengths.

[@ismaelgutz]

Thanks for making this video! I’m in a career that requires an insane amount organization for tasks and due dates. This video will help me optimize my workflow soo much! 😁👍🏼

[@RedGregory]

Awesome! I'm so glad to hear this helped :) Good luck with your setup!

[@ximena1970]

aHHh another great video, a very interesting way of showing how can we use the timeline! also omg I loved your outfit, it was so aesthetic uwu, I'm happy you are back, I'll wait for your next video!

[@RedGregory]

Thank you! haha. Yes, I'm trying to focus more on aesthetics so I'm very happy you noticed ;)

[@PedroFernandezRuiz]

Great video as always!

[@sicilyzhang6647]

this is really helpful! I used your template for organizing my online course, big thank you!

[@RedGregory]

Great to hear!

[@kurapikakurta3863]

I guess this answered my query in your other video. I never thought of using just one database to nest tasks. I thought I would need endless amount of databases to do that. I love how your channel makes using notion a lot less complicated.

[@HippieP629]

2:30am and I'm yet again blown away by your process. Your JEDI level is up to 36 lol Thanks a lot for your template however I'm going to recreate it myself though so it sinks in better. (Plus I'm not lazy) lol Also glad you're feeling better!

[@mrsteeveaustin]

I love the timeline view and your tutorials. Very clear!!! one thing I miss is the option to create a parent task with subtasks where the due date of the subtasks is based upon the parent task. F.e. parent task is set to January first > subtask is automatically set from January second to January 3rd. The idea is to create a template for my content creation. I know how long each step takes me to complete so I could click one button and know what I have to do on which day automatically. If anyone knows how to do this.. I m all ears.

[@giuseppegiorgio9185]

Did gli actually Do It?

[@duckdong22]

This video is amazing!! Thank you for sharing this content! 🤍

[@wendyj.3858]

I'm doing home renovations and this is going to help me a lot!

[@sjang7229]

you're so amazing! thank you. such a genius!

[@businessonline2116]

This is so cool, if you'll use your imagination to create base on this tutorial you can already integrate a complete plan for this. Two thumbs up!

[@roneneventzur8747]

Great video, very well explained and very useful. Thank you!

awesomee, I'm building this right away for my team

[@angadsri]

I absolutely love your content!

[@Rokinso]

Thank you very much for this useful tricks!

Wow this was super helpful - thank you!!

[@lionels839]

You are a F* GAME CHANGER...love u I plan to use considering daily, weekly (LL), monthly (ML) and quarterly (HL) tasks

[@RedGregory]

Awesome!

[@snehajain3100]

Hey! I love the video!...I saw your previous notion videos too, and I just wanted to ask if you can tell that how to related this template from the previous templates, so as to create an integrated workspace...btw, I will still continue to love your videos!...Take care of your health!...Love you!

[@PeterOlle]

Great stuff!

[@RedGregory]

Thanks!

[@sylwiazientek5182]

What great quality! Could you please share which camera and lighting, and mic you are using?

[@iffisays]

Interesting, curious to know how dependent tasks gets their start dates inherit from their predecessors task’s end dates. That will build automatic end to start kind of dependencies. This will help to determine critical paths I have been trying to build that but it seems notion roll up properties of date element doesn’t finds their way to timelines “filter by” menu There must be a way to get that done, Waiting to see that

[@giuseppegiorgio9185]

Anybody knows how to do that?

[@robertmaxey5406]

Good explanation. One thing, however. Notion android app will not let you use a slash. You must pick what you want from the little bar that pops up when you click an empty space.

[@KylfatherPLAYZ]

Hi, I wonder how I can repeat the tasks for LL goals every day, for example.

[@format6]

Great video thanks.

[@anandnivedan8073]

Hi, how to get a timeline view of relation and rollup in notion?

[@gregoryepps1956]

Great video, thanks!! Are you planning on building out an example for dependancies? This seems like great way to merge the ability to interface with the timeline lengths 'manually' i.e. by grabbing the bar and extending it, and maintaining the typical "start after end" Gantt relationship through a database relationship.

[@gregoryepps1956]

So I had a go, using a 2-way relation to take the End Date from Card 1 as Start Date for Card 2 but the "Timeline by" options won't accept a date from a Rollup or Equation.. any thoughts?

[@Londya]

Can you do a video on how to manage your workload on the timeline view with multiple projects? So like if you only have a certain amount of hours you work per day, it will show you when you've overscheduled too many tasks, based on estimated time it takes to complete the task?

[@danrose9397]

Is there any way to hide / avoid weekends?

[@gabriel_gelli]

Very cool! Great for Gantt Charts. However, I can't find a way to show more than one page in the same line. Even though it can limit and filter the number of cards shown, it kind of makes it impossible to turn a calendar with tens of tasks into a timeline without occupying a huge space. Does anyone know how to fix that?

[@polyowl3D]

How would i track the progress of subtasks inside of tasks and show it in a column next to it? I have a master task list, and a task template with subtasks. I want to track the percentage of the "done" tasks and show it on the master task list one level above. Would i be able to link it to a template i can just create and have that automatically show the completion rate inside the master task table?

[@daingladstone2326]

anyone know how to get the months to show? my notion doesnt seem to allow this and im not sure why

[@lafeneanteaurelie8607]

thx you so much!

[@manosprotonotarios5187]

Thank you for your thorough and useful videos! Can we have multiple databases shown on a single timeline, or is it per database strictly?

[@Coco-xi9hq]

this was dope! thanks. I'm going to use this to track projects along with the steps involved. Is there a way to color the entire bar? This way, for example, Project 1 (and its steps) are all red and then the next project down can be all blue? For now, just using a blank to create a space between projects.

[@feariie_]

Hi Red, thank you for this awesome video ! Would one be able to create a new version of this with dependent automatic dates ? I've been trying to do so but I am not sure as to how I could achieve that. Maybe creating a formula which divides a date range of a project into smaller date ranges depending on the number of subtasks ? 🤔 Would love to hear your thoughts on that !

[@lauradelgadocamara7499]

Hello , Could you please help me understand the relation property part. I am working on creating a daily time line and I would like to add in each daily phase task that need to happened inside them to be 100% completed. Each daily has different task - (would not be the same) Could you please help me getting an idea. It would be very much appreciated I could not understand the children and parent relation that you created. Thanks

[@RifatErdemSahin]

did you learn the limitations ?

[@pwnuser2940]

Could you make more RemNote videos?

[@giuseppegiorgio9185]

Good morning I have a problem with formulas with the timeline. What I did was link the beginning of one activity with the end of another, but what happens is that it allows me to link only two pages, the third one doesn't work anymore, can you help me? I leave you my template below

[@hiryuimajin]

I forgot to sub and have to find you all the time. I'm very sorry. All good now

[@saraschley2117]

I have a question! So, I plan with four levels like you do - I call them Annual Goals, Quarterly Goals (which are chunks of Annual Goals), Projects (which are chunks of quarterly goals), and Tasks (which are individual items within a quarterly goal). So it's similar - you call them HL goal 1, ML Goal 1, LL Goal 1, Task. What's confusing me: I have separate (linked) databases for each of my 4 levels. For the Timeline view like this - essentially you need to have one database, with the name of each page coding for the type of goal? So I should merge my 4 databases into one? Rather than 4 databases even if they link to each other?

[@thejaysehansen]

Same question here. Everyone shows diff databases for each level, but this needs one database for all levels. Just wondering what the ramifications of that are - (and also HOW would you merge all the databases into one? Manually I'd assume?) Great content btw! Fantastic!

what a mess :P Notion should have a look at Gantt chart tools how this is done properly ^^

[@RedGregory]

It's not the best for gantt charting compared to other programs, I agree. I wonder why you believe it to be a "mess" though?

[@Thommynat0r]

​ @Red Gregory in gantt chart tools you can embed child tasks into tasks. You can make tasks dependent on each other, for example if one task takes longer than expected all dependent tasks are moved automatically. You see instantly if you overall are still in time. Maybe for some really basic forms of project planning you can use this in notion, but there are many free gantt chart tools out there, which are much better (of course not connected to notion)

[@RedGregory]

@@Thommynat0r Interesting. Thank you for answering. These functions can be implemented in Notion with some tweaking but I can understand how you'd want these features out of the box and free. For me, timeline is definitely a lot weaker visually than I wanted it to be.

[@alpha12th]

@@Thommynat0r Agree with you currently Notion might not ready for more complex project planning. What good free Gannt chart tools you recommend?
