nice expiation. thank you

[@IvanPatskan]

Thanks, I'll try to start planning my day or week with notion. I'm using Google calendar now, but I think notion has a lot more chips.

[@itskatwaugh]

Nice!! Totally agree there 🙌

[@scrappegal]

I am curious about your course notes section. How have you organized these?

[@itskatwaugh]

Quite honestly, each of my course notes are different! I keep all of my course notes in a database though, and then I tag them by topic. Biz, health & wellness, etc. That way I can reference them in different sections of my Notion setup. But inside each course notes page, I leave it blank so I can set it up in a way that makes sense how the course is set up. If there are course modules, I'll make a gallery view database of the modules with the lessons inside. If it's an hour-long masterclass, then it usually just becomes a giant note-taking page! It's a fairly simple but effective set up. I hope that helps!

Do you have a video that shows how to pull information from multiple databases into a single one based on certain parameters (ex: to do tasks from different pages that are due today pulled into today’s to do list)

[@itskatwaugh]

I don't have a video that specifically addresses that. I would encourage you to check out my Notion databases video where I briefly cover relations. Relations are what you will use to accomplish that! I will say though, I always encourage people to have a singular database for specific topics/purposes. For example, your tasks. So in the example you gave it sounds like you have multiple places you're adding tasks to, but what I would do instead is have one database that has different filtered views depending on what you need to see (work, personal, cleaning, etc.) This makes it so quick and easy to set up a filtered view that has all your tasks for "today".
