In this video, I show you how to set up recurring tasks in Notion. I use the new recurring template feature in Notion that allows you to auto-create tasks at set intervals.
Recurring tasks in Notion is game-changing! It allows you to create daily task lists and habit trackers with ease. I show you tons of examples of how to use the recurring templates in Notion.

Hey, first of all, great and helpful video you have here. I just have one question, is it possible for when the task appears a notification on my phone/pc also appears?

[@jonbbradie]

Very helpful! Is there a way to show the recurring tasks on the calendar view BEFORE they pop up? I’d like to see the month ahead filled out. TIA!

[@CaseyHardman]

I'd love to know if there's an easy-ish way to do this. I've come across several workarounds that involve duplicating that task and setting the same ones bi-weekly or something, but that's more work than it's worth. Surely Notion can come up with a way to have more control over recurring tasks with features similar to what's in other task apps, such as TickTick (which is what I currently use until Notion develops something that I'm comfortable using to replace it!)

@@CaseyHardman Work around?!?! I can barely manage working direct!🤣

[@CaseyHardman]

@@jonbbradie Haha I understand! I've only been using Notion for a couple weeks and I'm still learning basic things.

[@jonbbradie]

@@CaseyHardman one thing I’ve learned from the start is to use databases. It’ll make life easier every step of the way.

[@CaseyHardman]

@@jonbbradie I really only use databases for tasks, but for notes I just use pages. For projects, I started out just using pages, but the more I learn, the more I think I need to move to databases for those.

Hi! For some reason, when I change the "repeat daily" hour so that it creates the task, it won't show up like in the video. I tried changing it so that it would appear after one minute difference and it doesn't pop up. Am I doing something wrong? I really need something like this for community management tasks.

For repeat daily, make sure it says it will repeat 'every 1 days' and ensure the timezone is set correctly. At the bottom of the panel, it states the date and time of when it will next generate the template so make sure that shows correctly too :)
