So, what is Notion? Let me introduce you!
Notion is a powerful and versatile tool that allows you to organize, track, and manage all the different aspects of your life in one place. Whether you're a student, a professional, or just someone who wants to be more organized and productive, Notion can help you get more done and achieve your goals.
A dashboard is a central hub where you can keep track of everything that's important to you, and access all the different pages and databases you need to manage your tasks, goals, and projects. With a Notion dashboard, you can easily customize the layout and navigation to suit your needs, and easily add and manage the different pages and databases that you need.
Some of the key benefits of using Notion to create a dashboard include its flexibility, collaboration features, and visual tools. Notion allows you to create and customize your dashboard in any way you want, and to easily share and collaborate with others on your tasks, goals, and projects. It also provides a variety of visual tools, such as graphs, charts, and calendars, that make it easy to track and manage your information in a clear and intuitive way.
Step 1: Setting Up Your Dashboard
Creating your own Notion dashboard is easy and fun. To get started, follow these steps:
Sign up for a Notion account and log in to your dashboard.
Click on the "+" button in the top left corner to create a new page or database.
Choose the type of page or database you want to create, such as a table, calendar, or board.
Give your page or database a name, and customize its layout and columns to suit your needs.
Add the information you want to track, and use the various tools and features in Notion to manage and organize your information.
Some examples of common things people might want to track in their dashboard include:
Tasks and to-do lists: track your tasks, and set deadlines and priorities to help you stay on top of your to-do list.
Goals and progress: track your goals and progress, and set milestones and checkpoints to help you stay motivated and on track.
Budget and expenses: record your budget and expenses, and identify areas where you might be able to save or cut back.
Step 2: Customize your Notion!
Once you have set up your dashboard and added the pages and databases you need to track your tasks, goals, and projects, it's time to get to the fun part and start personalizing your dashboard. Here are some tips:
Color and Background: Click on the dots next to any element and select the "color" option at the bottom. Set your favorite tones and design your aesthetic!
Headings, Quotes and Dividers: Use headings and dividers to outline your dashboard and improve its organization. Add a quote to motivate you and remind you of your values. When it comes to these, I encourage you to think outside the box and go wild with decorating!
Fonts and Page Settings:
In the top right corner of your Notion page, select the three dots. Choose a font to match your dashboard and choose your page preferences. Get familiar with these settings.
Images and Icons: Add images, gifs, videos or music to your dashboard! Anything that you'd love to be greeted by whenever you open your dashboard (hopefully everyday!). Don't forget to select icons to match and enhance your theme.
Step 3: Collaborating and Sharing your Dashboard in Notion
One of the great things about Notion is that it allows you to easily collaborate and share your dashboard with others. Whether you're working on a project with a team, or just want to share your tasks and goals with a friend, Notion makes it easy to share and work together on your dashboard in real time.
To collaborate and share your dashboard in Notion, follow these steps:
1. Click on the "share" button in the top right corner of your dashboard.
2. Add the email addresses of the people you want to share your dashboard with.
3. Choose the level of access you want to grant to each person, such as view-only or edit.
4. Click on the "Invite" button to send the invites and share your dashboard.
