Thank you! FInally a pratical second brain without "how your day is going" template trying to be motivational, straight to the point! Thank you so so much!

I was watching KZbin on the TV and decided just to open the same video on my phone to comment, say thanks, and obviously duplicate the template! Gracias Red!

Thanks!

Simple yet powerful !! Thanks, red for the video, the best Notion implementation for PARA and Second Brain I have seen so far. Thanks, Red.

Wow Red, You have done an amazing job!! Congrats from Canary Islands, Spain!!

[@chaseferrellmusic]

I just found your channel last week and I’ve been binge watching your videos!! I was promoted to a high level Manager position a few months ago and your systems have been awesome with helping me organize and manage not only my time but also my team and my teams time! You rock!!!

people running around to build 2nd brain will realise that this is the best second brian template available online. while i modified some properties and added few ,the basic structure is very good. thank you once again sarah. Other good templates i found were of "brendanshih" free 2nd brain template and "Thomas Frank" ultimate brain video that gave me enough inspiration to finally complete by 2nd brain setup.

[@danquixote6072]

completely agree. I came here looking for inspiration and ideas but she's hit the nail on the head with this. big thumbs up.

One of the best explanations I've seen so far! Thank you for this video!

[@vikigaoshuang]

thanks so much for your clear explaination. Your videos are definitely one of the best among all videos about Notion.

loving this (and all your guides!) - can you elaborate a bit on how citations work in this setup?

Excellent: The best explanation I ever heard.

You a Notion Super woman! I’m still trying to understand it lol. I’m down to the basics but still learning from your videos thank you for sharing.

that's absolutely perfect. I wish you had lots of views in it

I have created a second brain in notion, but mine is cluttered although the clutter is a lot less now than when I started to test things out 😂. You help me with insights about how clean and clear it can become.

[@LunarBears]

I love you so much. This is amazing

[@daniyurie]

Amazing! Much inspiration on how to organise my messy system. Thank you so much for this! o/

so helpful, finally found the bottom of the pkm rabbit hole

[@fentyindarti3940]

I love it. very effective yet aesthetically pleasing. I have a question about making the tag look beautiful. It looks like placed in the centre. How do you make it? I try the space but it doesn't work.

[@donna_ring]

Loved this video! Very inspiring. Good job it's Friday and I have some flexible time in my day to get lost in the system 😆 Have a great weekend ✨

[@bobkiernan1166]

There's so much here that deserves to be studied if you are looking to build a real Notion workspace. The template is an amazing jumping-off point. The only thing I'm wondering...how do you use the "Sibling" rollup?

[@JimShingler]

Very Well Done, ... Really like your work, ... Thank you

[@jezeim622]

So good! I would love to see you smile. ;)

[@wjex7907]

Thank you. You gave me inspiration to do my projects.

[@matthewg4882]

Using this to gear up for my upcoming semester, would you say a class in university is a project or an area? "school" is obviously an area but an individual class is also a bit too long to be a project, not to mention a class is just a collection of assignments which are projects. What would you do? Thanks so much for the template btw!

[@gabicohen153]

hii, for me I'll use university as an area and each subject as a project since for me they change every semester and inside that each task is what I do like homework, essay and stuff like that

[@tubbysza]

Have all subjects occupy their own areas inside of school area. If you want quick access to one particular subject, give it a “link to page” where you see fit.

[@yahmixtradingtv6037]

Thanks for your efforts

[@soleriu]

you are SMART !! thank you !

[@richardhartung1576]

thanks a lot, very helpful

[@emanuelpark1499]

A small suggestion could be to have an option to have Recurring Tasks for individual projects, I think it can help to divide tasks more.

[@theverasilva]

Love it 😊

[@RedGregory]

Thank you 🙏

[@MarcKoenig]

Great insight into your system! What’s the difference in how you use / think of the references categorized “Note” vs. “Reference”? Are the latter more canonical / permanent vs. the former being lightweight / fleeting?

[@andypassion5787]

Hi Greg! Is it possible to take 1 on 1 online class about Notion (i have some questions)? If it so where i can find info and payment info ? Thanks!

[@lukajeliciclux3074]

Nice video. Which extension you use for reading list?

[@ericdoziermusic]

When you are looking at all of your tasks in an area, can you filter them by project?

[@atephoto]

I run in to issues using the "E Today" formula, and I have to edit the code. Have you updated this to Notions new changes somewhere?

[@dlgrant1590]

hey red, I accidentally deleted the directory out of one of my pages, I tried to add it back but now its not clean and neat like the others. How did you get rid of the "new" button as well as the "no status" bar above the gallery? Thanks, you are awesome!!! my fave notioneer by far!!!

[@ThibaultGeenen]

Lovely, thank you! How would you deal with team split of these tasks? Say I want to find all my tasks?

[@231192TARUN]

Awesome!

[@infobymattcole7724]

Very impressive. Now if I can only import my existing content into this new format. That is a project in of itself. lol

So the project for ancestry research: we know how to save ressources and so on, but HOW do you really work with it? I mean, do you save text files here in the project as well? Let's say it's not just ancestry research, but the project is "ancestry research presentation", so where do you save the presentation? I think I just don't get it, how it would work in real life :-) Thanks

[@alpha12th]

I'm very impress with the way you use Notion. I've one question. Is it correct that Notion still not able to annotate the PDF file?

[@JoelleAGodfrey]

Question: I’m trying to add a recurring task and I can’t seem to 1) add it to a project and I can’t have it re-occur unless it’s under Recurring Tasks. When I add it there, I can’t find it for the specific project. 2) If I try to add it to a project, I can’t state what day I need it to reoccur on.

GREAT

When select area in the save to notion extension, those projects that show up below are of that particular area or all of them?

Hi Red, I would love to have a Start or Dashboard Page with where I can just Brain Dump some points whether it's a project, task, ressource or area. I want to do it from one place, to have quick access. Maybe with a master list? That's one thing that really bothers me with PARA and CODE.. Not to have quick access.

[@saritalarasati1594]

Happened to me too. I decided to have a page called "Mind Spit" to be reorganized into each section every week or so.

[@finalpets]

This PARA, can be use to track for example, Calendar of the last Haircut, Books that i read, WishList? or is only for projects and tasks? Thanks!

[@rebarcellini]

I certainly use it for that as well! You just need to incorporate to it. You can create an Area for knowledge (to add books and your book log) and self-care (to include your last haircut).

[@daviddelgadovendrell]

Has someone upgraded the template extending Task management up to Sub Task level? If so, which approach have you applied?

[@microsoftmath]

Hey Can you do a study planner template!!

[@knoight4473]

Can someone tell me how to fit two database side by side?

[@daviddelgadovendrell]

Do you recommend to split into different accounts PERSONAL/PRIVATE vs BUSINESS/WORK? Of course there are many scenarios... but regarding platform usability... I have my doubts using a splitted approach. What happens if you have a personal/private "item/database/resource... etc..." that suddenly might grow as the seed of some Business Staff. How to relate to it? That's when I'm thinking on combining both PERSONAL and BUSINESS and using the P.A.R.A. Areas to identify boundaries. Thoughts?

[@missmoe427]

Hey! How do I get my guests to have a default view instead of them having to change the view settings in a database? When they login to the link, I want them to automatically see a certain view.

[@ginafernandez2439]

I believe if you have multiple views, for linked databases et al, notion will default to the top most view. So you might try reorganizing your views so that the top most view is the one you want them to see first.

[@franci-uz]

Extention: It would be great to save 1 page to several areas :-)

How to add crm into this template

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

Hello , very informative ❤️👌. Please do make a tutorial on how to organize repetitive tasks in notion reminders. Example 1) Reminder a week before 1st of every month to pay bills 2) Reminder a week before, my vehicle insurance payments 3) Reminder a week before my friends birthday. Is there any formulas for this recurring tasks ? Please help 🙏🏻 many thanks 🙏🏻

[@duveth]

I added new properties to the Day data, this would be the month day I want a remainder (example, for every 10th I would add "10th" to the properties) and I will add this to the formula in the hidden cell Today... contains(prop("Day"), formatDate(now(), "do")) or so my new remainder will appear every day 10 in every month

Has anyone had luck using the web clipper with this template? I am having a hard time :( the web clipper works great if I am not using this template.

[@janszymanski2287]

Solutions like Notion or Obsidian are a great thing, but I can see that because of the initial investment required to organize these tools MOST PEOPLE WILL NEVER USE THEM ANYWAY Besides, how many people actually actively create something (for which these tools are absolutely great), and not just consume existing content
