  • Notion aesthetics is essential for anyone who wants to make their Notion dashboard more enjoyable and easy to use, and it's fun! It's how you add that personal element to your workspace. This video will show all the aesthetic tips and tricks I use when creating a new dashboard.
    📌 Extra tip: When you rename database views/properties, you can click on the icon and select a custom icon for each database view/property

    Hello, thank you for this very explanatory video, but I had a question. I don't understand how I can apply the color only to the framed block and not to all the other blocks inside when I take it and insert it inside the framed block
    Thank you for your answer : )

    • @chrisnotion
      @chrisnotion  Před 7 měsíci

      The callout block needs to be set to default color (not the text color you want) and then to change only the callout block text color and not everything inside it as well, just highlight the text and then change the text color (not the callout block text color). Do as I do in the tutorial

  • @wisualls

    I'm currently trying to figure out if I'm gonna use notion or obsidian, what are your opinions on obsidian?

    • @chrisnotion
      @chrisnotion  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Obsidian is cool but is more for knowledge management whereas Notion is more for life-management. So if you are learning any new information you can use the Zettelkasten method in Obsidian. The main idea is that instead of normally where you'd create a folder and add the relevant information into, the Zettelkasten suggests you input the information and use specific tags and over time the nodes or "folders" will emerge out of all your information. However if you wanna manage pretty much anything else like projects, tasks, finances, habits, fitness, meals, etc. then Notion is the way to go.

    Hi, I don't even know exactly what to ask but how did you manage to create a calendar with many templates without the "v x items hidden" when you create a new page? I don't know if what I said made sense lol

    • @chrisnotion
      @chrisnotion  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Haha yea not entirely sure what you're asking but I think you're referring to the different views on the calendar to different databases. Inside a linked view database you can click inside the database menu and then change the source to a different database. So you can have a view for tasks, a view for habits, a view for finances, etc all on the same database, just as different views

    • @leefm
      @leefm Před 7 měsíci

      @chrisnotion yes, it's the multiple databases linked to the calendar! I'm not sure I understood the explanation because I'm more of a visual learner but I'll try to figure out how it's done. I swear the not knowing how to replicate it made me SO stressed lol thanks for the answer!

How do I even add them? This isn't advice on making Notion look nice, it's advice on how to make YOUR SPECIFIC NOTION look nice. I don't get it. I've wated like an hour on this video and only made it 2 and a half minutes in and so far all I've learned is that you can embed stuff like clocks and hyperlinks from other websites. Don't you guys already have clocks and browser favorites? What are we doing?

      I'm slowing down the pacing of my content as time goes on but you can also just slow down the speed inside of CZcams

    Great videos! but i recommend you to pay for a 'speech improving' service so your videos will be more enjoyable, because your accent will improve.

      My accent makes me unique, I don't want to sound like everyone else 🙌🏼
