      Check the section on alternatives - I covered several! If you're ok coding a bit, you can built a site for free on Netlify or Github pages. I think Notion Sites makes sense for folks who are ok with the cost and want a tool that's very quick and easy to use. Especially in the realm of CMS-heavy sites (blogs, job boards, etc), Notion shines here.

    Already commented on another video, but just wanted to say thanks again. I've been watching Notion videos for days, and your setup is the only one that has worked for my ADHD brain so far. Not sure if you'll see this, but I have a quick question. I LOVE your version of the PARA method, where projects, notes, resources etc. live inside the Areas. (This is the part that works for my brain). But with this template, the areas are set up as a gallery view of a database. I would like to see each of my areas in the sidebar. Is there a way to do that and still keep everything linked in this template?

  • @kikokoussi7594
    @kikokoussi7594 3 дні тому

    There's alternate methods that don't need automation. You just need the following fields in the database 1. Task name 2. Start time (date) 3. End time (date) 4. Status (select) [To Do/Doing/Done] 4. Start (button) [Edit This page Start Time: Now Status: Doing ] 5. End (button) [Edit This page End Time: Now Status: Done ] 6. Minutes (formula) [dateBetween(End Time, Start Time, "minutes" ]

    • @ThomasFrankExplains
      @ThomasFrankExplains 2 дні тому

      I don't have a perfect answer, but I can say that it would need to be something you could embed as an actual, separate website (much like ConvertKit forms). Notion Sites won't let you embed actual HTML or JS code, so little chat widgets like Crisp's won't work. In general, if you need the ability to do custom JS/HTML, you'll want to either use Super or look for a website builder not based on Notion.

    • @ThomasFrankExplains
      @ThomasFrankExplains 2 дні тому

      I wish, but unfortuntely there isn't. Apple will only allow the stock voice memos app to upload to iCloud, and there's no way to trigger workflows in any service using iCloud files.

I just discovered Notion this week, as I was looking for one app that could do what I'm currently doing with Reminders/Apple Notes/Trello - basically I want all my tasks, project notes & attachments to live in the same place. I think this might do it! Thank you for the template. Although it's going to take me awhile to wrap my head around it, there is no way I could have figured this out myself.

    Shocked Notion doesn't just duplicate tasks in a project template instead of link it. Seems like such a basic thing that it should be able to do. This manual workaround won't work for me or my team when the buy-in is already moderate. This will definitely keep the team from wanting to use Notion now. Which is such a damn shame. It can almost do anything.

    Hey Thomas Frank. Thanks for all the helpful guides. Notion is Awesome! Though, i wanted to know, if it were possible for Notion to include some sort of cumulative frequency formula for the databases. Some Context on why i need one: This is something i would like so i could create a study timetable with dedicated times. I wanted it to be flexible enough so that i could easily get all my work done throughout the day. It should start from 0 though and then cumulate. Each subject has their own amount of time needed to be studied, and by clicking a button to start the course of the day, it tells me the time each subject will be studied. To do this though i had to make a cumulative frequency table manually. The problem now is say that, i have to go somewhere. Then i'll have to take a break and come back. Now when i come back i would press that start button again, and it will reset all the times according to the new start time. But what i wish that if i completed some tasks already, it would not cumulate the hours for those tasks, and just do the rest. That's basically all i would need thus far, and probably the cumulative frequency formula could potentially help if it had one.

    and the import from Evernote, do you know? It doesn't work well here. I'm a long-time Evernote user. I have a lot of notes. When importing into Notion, something is always missing. It can't be trusted. Any suggestion?

    • @ThomasFrankExplains
      @ThomasFrankExplains 4 дні тому

      When I switched to Notion, I just didn't do a full Evernote import. I have over 3,500 notes in Evernote from nearly 10 years of use. But, being honest with myself, I hardly ever touched 99.9% of them. So for the past ~6 years, I've just logged into Evernote to grab stuff when I need it. When I do, I manually copy and paste it over to Notion. The bulk importer probably can't be perfect, as Evernote editors has years of features that don't all translate to Notion 1:1.

    • @ThomasFrankExplains

      It does, and currently it only works for Members and Guests in your workspace. Even if you make a page public on the web and allow anyone with the link to edit it, they won't have the Suggest Edits feature. This just launched, so perhaps they'll fast-follow with some updates in that area. However, it's worth noting that even commenting has always required folks to have a Notion account. People can't edit or comment anonymously.

      As long as the date is "today" (e.g. the current date when created), then yes! I may have forgotten to film it, but you can do the same trick I show around 06:05 with the Date property. When you're editing your database template, you can set its value to "Today (Date when duplicated)". Hope that helps!

      This is a common misconception; you can actually insert up to 200,000 characters into a Text property: thomas-experimental.notion.site/Hello-World-3b1efffe1c3647608944e8bcc2894701 The API limitation is this: - A Rich Text object can have up to 2,000 characters - Any array of blocks (including Rich Text objects) can have up to 100 elements So 2,000 * 100 = 200,000 max characters. This limitation also holds for single requests to create page content, although after that you can use the Append Child Blocks endpoint to add more. You can't do this with Text properties, since requests overwrite whatever was there already. All that said, it's up to the tool you're using to implement these capabilities correctly. IIRC, back when I was using Make and Zapier, they didn't do it correctly and did limit you to 2,000 characters. Now that I write my own code and deploy automations on Pipedream, I can go up to the true max limit. Here's a sample function: async function fillText() { const textObj = { rich_text: [] } for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) { textObj.rich_text.push({ text: { content: `Object ${i}: [INSERT UP TO 1,988 CHARACTERS HERE] ` } }) } const response = await notion.pages.create({ parent: { type: "database_id", database_id: dbs.super_notes, }, properties: { "Name": { title: [ { type: "text", text: { content: "Hello World", }, }, ], }, "Text": textObj }, }) console.log(response) }

      @ThomasFrankExplains Thank you. That's interesting. I actually ran into this limitation problem when deploying the newer version of the voice-to-text tutorial you created. I had a particularly long transcript that would not insert all of the additional items as a result... I'll see if I can solve this now.

    is there any habit tracker stuffs like the daily workout routine & other daily stuffs where would u put those things ( inside areas ?) wouldn't it create too much daily tasks that will show on my day page

      In Ultimate Brain, there's a journal feature where you can do simple habit tracking (e.g. just checklists). If you want more data-based habit tracking, you can follow my habit tracking tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/kQvAytutxsQ/v-deo.html - or get the free habit tracker template I provided. Habit tracking with stats is complex in Notion, so I chose not to include it in UB and instead make it a free template you can add to UB if you want. Hope that helps!

    Topic Request: I'm concerned that Notion is a centralized & can use my data. I'm also concerned about wrong-think I'm alluding to Adobe's recent policy change on customer data. It seems they can use (exploit, steal) for any reason & not just to train AI.

    • @ThomasFrankExplains

      You're welcome to read their policies - but if you're genuinely concerned about this, then I'd recommend using something with end-to-end encryption. Apps like Obsidian offer this; their Sync product has a self-managed encryption key option, or you can use your own sync option like SyncThing. Notably, I absolutely recommend using an app with EE2E and user-controlled keys for sensitive data like passwords (and always use 2FA). Notion's technical security (policy is a different matter, I am not a lawyer) as stated is pretty much on par with other cloud services like Google Drive, Google Docs, Slack, MS Office, etc. Most modern cloud tools involve some sort of centralized third-party data storage, which involves the trade-off of accepting that some aspect of the security is set by policy rather than by math.

    Something so simple should be natively free

    This is suuuch a cool feature! Maybe when it's a little more polished I can get my copywriter to move into Notion instead of docs...
