![]() As you store your notes, add chapter names as headings so that they’ll appear in the table of contents. □ Pro tip: For better navigation, you can add a table of contents at the beginning of your page (shortcut = /toc). Simply click “Open” at the right of the book name and store your book notes in the blank page. Rename these views (”Read” & “Wishlist”) and filter the “Read” view on Read = Checked & the “Wishlist” view on Read = Unchecked.įor each book that you finish (or not) reading, you can import all your notes into the corresponding database item. Now that your properties are set up, duplicate your view so that we can create one “Read” view & one “Wishlist” view. ![]() Unchecked boxes will become your wishlist/read later books.ģ. Read : check the box once you finished reading the book.Category : Business, Self-Help, Gardening, Arts & Crafts, Health, Mental Health, etc.Description : here you may want to write a description of the book or give your after-read opinion.Rating : for ratings, I created 5 select items: ⭐, ⭐⭐, ⭐⭐⭐, ⭐⭐⭐⭐ & ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ but you can also use other emojis/text.It can be the day you purchased the book, the day you finished it, or the time between which you started & finished it - in that case, be sure to activate the “end date” button. Date : date can be nice to have if you want to remember when you read the book.Author : you can add the Author’s name in the “Book Name “ property to save some space. ![]() If you’re a big non-fiction books nerd like me, you may wanna create a books database in your Notion setup.

With my setup, it only takes 2 clicks to create a new note (click 1 = bookmark, click 2 = new note). The last thing to do is to bookmark that Notion page to your web browser so it’s easily accessible. That’s it - I try to keep it as simple as possible because you don’t want to be caught up in filling out numerous properties when you need to act quickly. Think of it as a way of archiving your notes. □ Pro tip: You can filter your database on Status = In Process so that you don’t directly see the Done notes. Status → to better manage my notes (”In Process” & “Done”).Created Time → to sort my database by descending date. ![]() So whenever I need to add a new note, I simply click the “New” button & a new page (database item) is created. Inside that page is a gallery database where all my notes are stored. You know that sense of urgency when you need to quickly capture an idea or a thought before it vanishes away? I definitely do know that feeling and here’s what I’ve done to address that situation.įirst of all, I created a Notion page in my Freelancer Dashboard, as most of what I have to note is related to my freelancing business. I won’t tell you which one to use, as I believe each person needs to find the best one according to their own needs.īut this is a Notion-focused blog, so I’ll teach you some ways you can leverage Notion to quickly & efficiently take notes.
