Hello everyone and welcome back to another video
Today's video is 23 tips for Notion
Now I will be doing a webinar in this one so you can watch the full video for that
But if you're looking for the quick tips and tricks, then you can dive into this one
We'll be starting with some beginner tips and then talking about a few more
Advanced tips and we're gonna be running through these ones
So if you want to you can check out the description there might be a few video
Expansions so you can dive into a few more details. So let's start with the first one
The first one is creating your own inbox creating an inbox inside of notion is a great way to plot and dump a few articles
information like that
Remember notion is coming out with a Web Clipper soon so that you'll be able to clip stuff from the web
In a much more easier fashion, and I'm sure that will include the likes of PDFs number two and your own cover photo
This is something a lot of people miss out on but you can actually upload your own cover photo to your notion account
It's really easy to do
All you have to do is head out upload and you can even reposition to make it perfect for your new page
Number three, you can leave notes for yourself even even inside of the personal account
You can use the discussion tab to actually leave a few notes for yourself at the top of the page
It's quite a handy way. If you want to just dump a link or an idea or a way to improve the experience
I'll use this a lot inside of any long-form pieces uncrating in there. So do check it out number four
You can create a v2 home page
I know a lot of people spend some time redesigning their home page inside of notion and that can be wasted time if you're constantly
Developing your home page in the live view
So one of my recommendation is to create a v2 home page and on side of your home page
So that you can create create let's begin creating your home page without
Damaging your current page and then you can transfer all of the stuff in just a quick move versus actually constantly
Developing your home page and this is tip number four number five
You can use full of bleed web bookmarks
Sometimes this actually works out really well cuz a lovely image appears on that right or left hand side and it gives you a great
Little schroeder summary before you dive in instead of just having an ugly link dumb
Number six you can add your own icons
This is a tip that I got from Ben wheeler over on the reddit and also David Pierce
which we've done a video with about how he sets up his notion now the icons help to brighten up the experience and if you
Want certain icons like for example and travel I added
Airbnb and that made it a little bit of more
Customizable and also on the inbox I brought in and I can't find the inbox which you can download for free and of course access
That there number 7 is embed Google Maps into your travel plans
This is something I started to do and it has become a great way to me to visualize all of the maps that I've got
There if I open it on my phone and I double click on the map it will open up Google Maps and I have all
Of the instant information that I need to know and start working with so Google Maps integration embedded works. Really?
Well number eight adding a colored background behind
Headers inside of any of your pages or notes if you want to spruce them up
Just click behind them and actually change the color you might have to scroll to the bottom
but if you can change the background color to them and this really brightens up the piece as well as making it more clear and
Obvious, it's perfect for onboarding documents for your team
But you can make it look a lot better. If you use this function number nine, you can change the font per page
This is something a lot of people don't know of they feel like it once they create a font change
It will create across the site
But you can actually go to top right-hand corner
The three dots and actually change the font for that page you're using
I've got a couple of San serif sans serif some different pages and they look great and they work for the both of the different
experiences that I've got number 10
You can duplicate a page or Blanc
This can save you a huge amount of time
If you're looking to quickly
Duplicate a page or even a block that you've got working is useful if you create a page that can be replicated really easily
Number 11 try full width or small width and you can actually choose between the two of these I recommend going with small width
but again
You can go full bleed across the page using full width and that's something that will change your aspect ratio on
The actual notion window but actually really does help and actually improve the ocean experience depending on how you'd like to lay out everything
Number 12 access dark mode. Give it a try
A lot of people really praised aren't commode a lot of people don't find it useful
But if you're actually using it at night, or you actually want to just change up your notion
Brightness or whatever you want. Just try dark mode
It might help you to re-energize some of the work that you're doing number 13. You can create multiple workspaces
This is helpful
if you want to
Even create a v2 homepage or to coordinate another project or activity and in the future if that becomes into a side project or business
You can invite other people to that and it coordinate that from there now on number 14
You can actually lock a page from changes
So for example, if you've just created something that you like to share with other people
You don't want them editing anything or changing anything on the page?
you can lock a page and make that lockable so that they can only
Essentially view it or read it and it makes it really really easy number 15
You can import a Microsoft Word document that's really easy to do
All you have to do is upload it as a new page and anything off that Word document will be
sprung into action
inside of the notion page
Number 16 our recommendation as well is to store movies books and documentaries to watch and sign emotion
there's a great Kanban board that you can store it in or table or
Whatever you like if you just want to create a simple list
But it's a great way to keep tally of what you need to watch number 17
Transfer board table data to dates now. You can do this by clicking change view
You can actually change a board or table data into this calendar view and if you've got date attached to it
You can visualize that all there and it's a great way to change up
What information you see in front of you?
We do this occasionally for our editorial calendar and it does look awesome. So number 18
You can store your favorite two tweets in a mood board. This is something I do
I love sometimes
Tallying some of the lovely things people have said to me
Online and actually going there when I feel a little low or tweets that and nice tweets that people have this you can do this
for anything
You could maybe be planning something or an article and you can put a mood board together and the favorite treats and the great thing
Is that tweets are embeddable and you can get system really quickly
Number 19. You can check the what's new page for notion. If you're worried whether notion will have a feature in a few months
They're always working on new developments. So definitely check out the what's new page
I'll link that one in description number 20
you can import covers from unsplash comm unsplash is a great sign for covers highly recommended if you're feeling a lack of
Inspiration from your own photos, you can actually upload them as cover photos from unsplash
It looks number 1 and of course, you don't necessarily have to go with the default met museum art that notion provide
number 21
you've got setup of your first mention try and using the date or time it mentions and
Actually setting reminders on so that you get a buzz on your phone
just check them out and see how they weren't but they
Personally for me have worked great in terms of a reminding me that I need to write an article or something
Number 20 to play around with the new template button
You can actually create a template and also you can actually create a table or whatever you like a border calendar from pressing this button
So do check it out
