5 Productivity Tips for Notion

In the world where staying organized equals staying ahead, Notion emerges as a beacon of productivity. As you have seen in my previous blog posts it is a tool that can be your planner, database, task manager, and so much more. Let’s unlock its full potential with these top 5 productivity tips you can apply inside of Notion!

Tip 1: Mastering Keyboard Shortcuts

Efficiency in Notion starts with mastering keyboard shortcuts. Here are a few to get you started:

• Ctrl/Cmd + N: Create a new page instantly.
• Ctrl/Cmd + P: Open quick search to find anything quickly. My favourite!
• Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N: Open Notion in a new window, perfect for multitasking.

These shortcuts are just the beginning – they’ll make your Notion experience smoother and faster.

Tip 2: Utilizing Templates Effectively

Don’t reinvent the wheel. Notion’s template gallery offers a plethora of pre-made templates, suitable for every imaginable need. From task trackers to reading lists, these templates are your shortcut to a well-organized life.

Two of my favourite and most useful templates can be found in my previous blog posts:

1. Write effective notes – Cornell Note Taking System
2. Kickstart your next semester – Ultimate HSLU Semester Planner

Tip 3: Integrating with Other Tools

Notion plays well with others. Integrating it with tools like Asana for deadlines, Slack for communication, or Trello for project management creates a centralized hub for all your information, making sure you never miss a beat.

Tip 4: Advanced Text Formatting

Advanced text formatting is a game-changer. Utilize toggles (/toggle) to create expandable lists – great for decluttering. Embrace callouts (/callout) for highlighting important notes. Embed databases within pages to keep related information at your fingertips.

Tip 5: Using Linked Databases for Seamless Organization

Linking databases in Notion allows you to connect and view related information across different pages. Imagine linking a task in your daily planner to a main project in your project database – it streamlines tracking and updates information in real-time.
