Notion App Tutorial: How to Build a Powerful Notion To-Do List! (Step-By-Step)

Very Helpful

Thanks 👍❤

Amazing this was super easy. I have created this To do list in my notion and will be following it going forward. Thanks a lot for sharing!!!

I need to share how I am creating the todo list. It might be surprising, but I am not using "Do date", instead I use formulas that calculates urgency :) Instead of using "!, !!, !!!" or the "UI, nUI, UnI, nUnI" I have 3 separate properties: Weight (Important, Others), Urgency (ASAP, Urgent, Can wait) and Difficulty (Complex, Easy) < last one you can change to "time consuming / fast".

So now I am adding a Formula property named "Priority" that sumarises those properties according to their impact on the task.
I want to do Urgent tasks first, because this property descibes amount of time that I have to make those. After urgency I am using Weight so I can first focus on more important stuff, and at last I want to take actions over more complex tasks, because they can be more time consuming to get over them.
Here is the formula for that:
if(prop("Urgency") == "ASAP", 200, if(prop("Urgency") == "Urgent", 100, 0)) + if(prop("Weight") == "Important", 10, 0) + if(prop("Difficulty") == "Complex", 1, 0)

And the last part of this process is just sort the list descending according to "Priority".

If you want to improve this, you can create other formula, that will calculate the Do Date according to the priority, complexity and Due Date, so you dont have to decide when you want to do such things, but soft will tell you when to do it ;)

Keep up awesome work Dude!

When I click the checkboxes it transfers over the same checkboxes in a different view... ex: I have Monday to Friday set up and the view tabs I have are week 1, week 2, etc. So whatever I checkbox on week 1, stays check boxed also in week 2.... Is there a way to fix this?

i used this to-do-list method
Question : In the Template for the To Do ... I want to have the todays date to be automatically inserted in the DO-DATE
I tried adding a formula like now() directly in the template field ... errrr... naaah ! LOL
Solution?

Excellent simple and effective

The important/urgent kind of reminds me of an impact analysis matrix for prioritizing work. Which has high/low impact and h/l effort

Thanks man

Loved it. Amazing video. Thank you so much. I was looking for a way to do my to do list and use made it easier.

very helpful. Thank you!

Thankx for the tutorial dude

Very helpful! I tried it today and will use it now as a To Do List. Thank you

Super useful video for me. I followed along as I watched this 😊

thank you sm. i'm new to notion and this video really helped me

thanks Dude, you helped me finally start using notion more than just note bin

Can you please share your template link to duplicate

Along with using Google Calendar for my timetable I am going to use this template for my final semester of my degree. Thanks Productive Dude!! haha.

Pure Genius.

So how do you create a Daily To Do list that reoccurs Monday-Friday?

woah........i really think a paper and google calendar is more than enough for the most of us

Hey @Productive Dude thank you for the video ! It was so helpful !

My new database does not show in the list when I choose to create linked database 8-(. I followed you step by step.

1. your video is the first one on the search. 👍🏻 ( even though it doesn't have the most views, yet ) 
2. liked it
3. Do you actually put in such obvious tasks like: Brush my teeth, walk my dog and make my bed?
4. The only problem I had with it is that there is no that page in the data base list. ( I can only create a link to that page, but not to make it show up on the main page )

You are genius ❤️

Thanks, do you use reminders at all?

Great and useful video for me. Like and subscribe immediately! Thank you!

Whenever I create a To-Do List in Notion I'm confused on what I'm supposed to do with the completed task. Should I delete it or I store it somewhere in Notion ? Any suggestions ?

Thanks!! It made my life much more productive!

great video, I'll be trying this method out this semester so thanks!

Thank for all your good information!! I have a question, Can you create a video on how we can follow the 12 week year program with notion?

It is not bad not to be productive all the time. Just throwing this out there💕

thank you.

Can I make it so that when I click the "New" button on the task list, it automatically picks the template I created? Right now I have to click the "New" button and then the template.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you for making this!
