- In this video, I'll give you a tour of my Second Brain setup in Notion. This is the system I use to manage my knowledge and ideas. Building a Second brain in Notion has helped me to achieve my projects and goals in my career and personal life.

one of the best showcases of second brain setup in Notion....well done
Thank you very much!
This is really useful, I would love to see an example of this set up for a couple or family.
Love your videos! Also saw a post of your phone setup, and would love to see a walkthrough of siri shortcuts and how you've set it up with notion!
Thank you! I believe you saw the one where I open Notion pages from my homescreen, I'm using the homescreen widgets of the Notion app for that!
Hey Easel, wonderful stuff! Is there a reason you don't use the subitems as a way of categorizing down like Area > Topic and Project > Task maybe? Because that sounds a pretty good use for it. Would love to hear from you. Thank you in advance! Cheers
I came from your ig. You're ig videos are cool bro.❤
At 3:33 how do you achieve those add resources,add projects, add notes just above Actionable steps
Hello Easlo, Can you please tell me how to make the databases in the gallery view in the New Area Template Automatically set to filter only those that are related to the ( New area that you just created ) I hope you understand and wish you respond you will really help change my life. Thanks
is there a way to import my kindle notes into this system?
I am very interested, I would like to know if the template you see in the video is the same as the one in the link you attached, since it seems to look different on the page. I guess you are updating it, right? Can you confirm me that? Thanks
happy to learn from you
happy to share, please share any feedbacks and suggestions always!
Love your simplicity and the way you organize everything. Came from your twitter/X account, subscribing here too!
I really appreciate your support, thanks for subbing!
thank you! and where be your habits in this second brain?
Is there a way to integrate Google Calendar into your Notion template?
I have a question for you. If I have the Readies integration, and therefore a dedicated database API-ed in, what's the best way to integrate this into your template. Keep it as a separate database or a sub-database under resources and integrate it there? Thanks
PS. I already bought your template.
I would keep it as a separate database and move the page to my Second Brain home page to access it easily.
Great tutorial Easlo. How did you get those "Add Resource" "Add Task" "Add..." items at the top of your Area/Projects pages?
Thank you! They are actually relation properties but configured to show as “minimal.” Every relation property has the option to be shown as a “property,” “page section,” and “minimal.”
What kind of elements are "Add Tasks", "Add Projects", "Add Notes"? They are so cool! I couldn't sleep thinking about how did you create them!! 09:27
It's a button. You can set buttons to do a variety of things, including adding a page to a database, like Easlo has done here.
Thank you!!@@stephbaxter
Those are not buttons -- they are actually properties. You can go into any property, right click it, then edit property and at the bottom you'll see an option to 'customize page' click that and it will show a list of all properties. You can then select in any property the option to make it a "page section" and it will be listed below all properties as a kind of "button" if empty.
The 'add notes' , 'add projects' options are obviously Relation properties to a Notes database and a Project database.
The # of tasks is a rollup. Which calculates the number of related tasks. Likely that task rollup (or task count basically) is likely attached to a hidden property in the page and counting the number of tasks in that hidden property. -- the way that works is the database (a Linked View Database to Tasks) that he is entering the tasks into is filtered to only include tasks that include the page template he is using. So any time he generates a page using that template any task he puts in is now tied and related to that specific page. By including a relation property to do the same thing in properties -- he can then create a roll up property that counts those number of tasks, which will then change in real time.
Great Second Brain! I have a question, how can I moove your student dashboard in my SCB, and how can I tranform «Assignements» in «project»? (If you have a better solution to tranform assignements or moove there in my homepage, it’s welcome) PS: sorry for my bad English
Thank you! What I would do is to add the properties of the Assignments database to the Tasks database.
hi, this have recurring tasks also?
How can i update "new feature" like: Para dash board, Daily highlight,.. in my SCB that bought 1 month ago
You should have receive my email where you'll get access to the new template and you can migrate your database pages over. You can also check our community on Circle for the new link.
How did you create the Gallery view in the Area page, did you put in any automations so it creates those pages or how do they work?
I dont understand it, it really doesnt make sense. I have tried everything but noting seams to get the desired output
It’s using a database template and that each database has a filter for the newly created Areas page.
Filter for what property??@@easlo
@@Yuji012 In your template, create a gallery view with a new database. below that, create an embeded sub-page. Name it "Tasks". Drag it into the gallery view. Below that create a new database view that filters the area property for the name of the new template. Drag that view into the "Tasks" card in the gallery view. Do the same for the other databases.
What does the button to the right of the daily highlight tasks do?
If you mean the checkbox, it’s actually the status property shown as a checkbox, hence it will set the status of the task to completed.
Is it possible to make newly created tasks with blank names?
Actually yes! You just need to leave the page title of the database template empty.
How do you make an area template that has a database of other databases?
I’m wondering the same
Create a "linked to database" block within the template.
Create a wiki page and host your supporting databases there.
The wiki will allow you to both see all of your databases there, and filter them as if they were in a table.
Hope this helps.
@@mjhudson1224 Ohh I misunderstood the question, thanks for the clarification.
Now that I think about it, when he create a new "Goals" @7:16 in the Finance "Area" using the Database within Databases, somehow those "Goals" are filtered to include only the Finance "Area". How does that filter work? The Database within Database is not a template so it's supposed to show all the "Areas" unless he has to manually filter it...but that's not possible since clicking into the Databases within Databases from each "Areas" should all show the same view.
@@mjhudson1224 I made the wiki page. Didn't know about that, works like a charm!
However, how do I make it filter by the area of the template when I click on a database? And can I set default views for when opening these?
Can you explain the Migration page?
The migration page will come in handy in moving over existing database pages when I release a new version of this template!
In tasks, how does the status "completed" relate to checking a task off?
The checkbox you see is actually still the same status property displayed as a checkbox, so checking the checkbox means setting the task to the new status of "Completed". I'm not sure if this clarified what you were asking, let me know.
They're two different actions, but you can create an automation where every time the status is "completed" it'll automatically check a task off.
@@easlo Oh, are they of different properties?
@@easlo Thank you! didn't know about that feature!
What is the Event page?
It's a simple database to add and view meetings and events (non-actionable items with a fixed date). It's an optional feature because I know many people including myself would prefer to stick with Google calendar until better integrations comes up.
Hey. I run multiple buisnesses with multiple clients. Will your system work for me?
Hi there! I just released a Business OS template that would be a better fit for what you do!
@@easlo thanks! Can I combine multiple templates? If I import your business template can I also import your PARA template in another place in Notion? I'm new to templates, so I have to ask.
Certainly@@vegardbell
Hey yo first comment
