Tracking Health + Wellness in Notion

This week I'm sharing my Health + Wellness dashboard where I track things like workouts, energy, Oura ring data, supplements, and more.
The database that does most of the heavy lifting? The journal database, followed closely by the activity database.
Shout out to the Lululemon Studio Mirror which has completely transformed my relationship with working out. I went from being a total couch potato to working out almost every day. I cannot say enough good things about it!

Are you going to do a tour on how your journal database is set up? I would love to see how you track habits and stuff in notion!

[@etgdesignstudio]

You have opened up my world for ways I can use Notion - especially for medical symptom & effectiveness tracking for chronic illness. I had a complex spreadsheet and this is much easier (or at least means doing many things in one place instead of in several different apps). Now if Amazing Marvin and Notion had a baby with options to print a variety of lovely views... I would be in heaven! And count me in as a another vote for a "energy tracking and recommended tasks" video! Thank you for all you give us on KZbin!

[@keepproductive]

Woo!

[@Kate__123]

Marie, I LOVE your brain so much!! It is so awesome how you have thought of ways to optimize Notion. Content like this is so hard to find and EXACTLY what I need! I'm neurodivergent and have chronic illnesses - this has been a game changer for me. I can now give my providers very informed trends on my health and mental health. The rate at which I've experienced progress is something I've never experienced before, and it's all thanks to your Notion tutorials!

[@Maisfeldkind]

Thank you so much Marie, again a brilliant video with lots of great inspiration! Can't wait for the "energy tracking and recommended tasks" video

[@mirthevanhoorn]

Your skin, your hair, the lashes. Marie you are truly glowing!

[@designsbyjuju]

Great video! Thank you! I would LOVE to see the video on energy tracking and recommended tasks. Has that been done yet? Any plans ? Pretty please? Also, would you be willing to explain what is meant by "effectiveness" as it pertains to your tracking? Thx!! So thrilled to finally find a channel on Notion that resonates so much!

[@gracehwang9792]

Marie, you were always beautiful but you look so well than anytime! I can see that you focus has shifted to your health and wellness :) Wish I can also go towards that direction. At the moment, I'm buried into work ..

[@sebastiandiaz4040]

I was literally not expecting so much but you are a very smart person! Opened my eyes

[@mluzu96]

this was so inspiring ♡

[@videomoha]

Awesome, thanks for the tips.

[@Stephishealing]

I would love to see your ‘today’ dashboard! I think you mentioned it briefly in your journalling video too. Thanks so much for sharing, you’ve given me some great inspiration to add to my current journalling database that was quite simple.

[@MariePoulin]

Honestly one of the biggest reasons i haven't been able to share it is because i have access to features Notion hasn't released yet, and they are majorly integrated into most of my dashboards. It's made sharing content very challenging :(

[@Stephishealing]

@@MariePoulin that makes a lot of sense! I love that they’re always developing and testing new stuff

[@mrskayhillman]

This is so good!

[@eileena1613]

Feeling inspired.

[@bobmylan9434]

Thank you for your videos, you inspire me so much thx thx thx

[@didi-ui6ys]

You are so beautiful. You've changed . I wonder how such a great channel have not so many subscribers. You changed my life. I live you so much. And I'm grateful that God brought me with you.🙏🌱

[@MariePoulin]

Thanks for making my day! I’ve been trying to take better care of myself these days, and of course always learning to improve the quality of my videos! I’m so glad you’ve found my videos to valuable, grateful to have you along the journey!

[@healthandwellness-mz4pz]

I really liked it, an amazing organization

[@sebsie]

Hi Marie, could you please share this dashboard? I would love to use it for myself. I have been looking for this forever!

[@razzle-dazzle]

Dope; I’m inspired 🎉

[@KateMcDee]

LOVE!!! I know it definitely doesn't make sense to share the templates but can you share the names of your databases? I want to get mine setup and keep things separate (if needed). I wrote down you have these ones: 1) Journal DB 2) Activity DB 3) Goals DB 4) Supplements DB I think I saw in another video you have "Practices DB"? How do you decide when things should be in a separate DB vs. all together in one? THANK YOU!!!

[@didi-ui6ys]

Marie, please could you send a list of your favorite books that you have read recently/ Thank you so much.

[@wildfernweddings4187]

Can I get this template anywhere?

[@Smaffs59]

Excellent video. Newbie to Notion so might be a stupid question. Can you refence a "cell" within the text on a page. For example, and a poor one at that, but have a sentence within a page that says, "On New Years Eve my sleep was (refence cell that contains sleep score for 31st December)" In my system I would like to be able to monitor appointment dates in a table and then have a page which can list them in the body of text. Hope that makes sense

[@MariePoulin]

So, you can't reference cells, you can only reference page titles unfortunately!

[@daiyanMasud]

Hey is this template available to access?

[@clayparrish5794]

Great video! This may be a dump question, but what do you mean by readiness?

[@MariePoulin]

That's a score from the Oura app ouraring.com/blog/readiness-score/

[@monicaradu567]

Hello! quick question: what do you do with the "Workout 5x/times for 12 weeks" entry after the all 12 weeks have passed? Do you create another entry for the next 12 weeks and so on? Thank you!

[@MariePoulin]

It depends - if i'm just extending the goal, i'll change the dates and continue adding weeks to it!

[@satyachillale]

Hey Marie, could you tell me how did you add the borders around the tables?

[@MariePoulin]

Those are callout blocks. The database is dragged inside a callout block.

[@CanvaMagic-bl7nb]

Can you make video from scratch about this?

[@kaleidospiked]

Hi Marie, learning lots here! How do you add the date of the activity automatically in the activity DB when you’re in the journal entry/DB? I don’t automatically have a workout entry created in the activity DB created everyday because I don’t work out everyday .

[@MariePoulin]

Then the only real way to automate it is to have a rollup of your journal date inside your activity database, so as soon as you relate the two, the journal date is associated with it OR if you're creating new activity db entries, use a "Created date" in the activity database. I actually have all of those properties in my activity db so i can see it different ways: created at, updated at, journal date (rollup), and even just a plain date property.

[@KalynBrookeCo]

So is your Activity calendar showing the created date property or updated date property? Just trying to think through how I could do the same workout twice in a month and still have that calendar show the workout on both days. Currently, I display the calendar by my journal DB but like you, I don’t like how it cuts off the second workout if you do two/day.

[@Barjazid666]

​@@KalynBrookeComy question also. I am trying to do exactly that for my recipe database which connects to my Days database but I cannot find any solution. My best guess is that Marie uses some of Notion's forthcoming features.

[@Jacques_Sauve]

But, but…the week starts on SUNDAY!!! 😂😅

[@MariePoulin]

how dare you

[@PedroFernandezRuiz]

nooooo, please! it starts on MONDAY :D

[@AnneTeaShop]

How did you get your subpage properties to not transfer to the others?

[@MariePoulin]

I'm sorry, I don't totally understand your question. Can you clarify?

[@AnneTeaShop]

On my subpages or the pages that popout of the gallery view, the top properties stay the same on all the pages in that table. Yours didn't and I was wondering if I could get mine to do so?@@MariePoulin

[@Clairelyhereforveganburgers]

New to Notion and new to your videos - trying to see how you did the sweet little energy icons next to the words. I can see in main bar how to get that selected at the top but the only other customization I can see is colour change for options? Have you done another video on how to create this styling? Or if I'm blind and it's right in front of me? lol

[@MariePoulin]

Those are pages (related Energy database), not selects :)

[@muhammadahmed333]

Please advise how we can learn notion

[@arpitkumartomar]

Start with Thomas Frank's playlist.

[@kevinCarbis]

Dodgeball? Really? I'm going to need a time, date and address please.

[@MariePoulin]

Are you in the Sunshine Coast? lol! Tuesday nights at 8pm haha!

[@joycefrilles]

This template would've been nice to be shared but she didn't.

[@MariePoulin]

It would be next to impossible to share this as a template, as its made up of dozens of interconnected databases that are based on the way I use Notion. I've given templates like this away before in the past, and it only leads to confusion and frustration. These systems only truly work when you build them yourself.

[@joycefrilles]

@@MariePoulin Okay, if that's what you believe on that's fine.
