another view of my dorm room :) i’m obsessed with her

Hi! So my Notion’s a mess, and because I’m not in college yet or anything, there isn’t much happening on the whole studying/assignments front, but here you go

Menu: this is all the pages I have, and I’ve linked most of them to my homepage

Home: like I said, this is pretty much everything I do. I’ve linked other pages to this page. “Nerd dump” is all my personal reading/learning, sometimes it’s notes I make from books I read; and work is everything to do with my internship. Blog ideas is my brainstorming space for writing

Reading list: it’s my entire list of books I want to read so naturally it’s never-ending. I’ve mostly organised it into fiction and non-fiction, but there is an Indian fiction list down below in the page, and I also add links to reviews and booklists to this page

Reading dump: where I save all articles and essays I need to read; way less organized than the reading list, hence the name

Weekly: basically what it says, I use the board view, so I can move stuff around depending on the day; and because every individual task turns into a page of its own, I can add notes to that

Task list: less organised than the weekly page; a run down of everything I need to do. Again, I use the board view so I can move stuff around and feel accomplished when I move a task from to do to doing to done

Quick Notes/Misc: it’s like the google keep of my Notion, where I add everything that doesn’t fit elsewhere. It has links to recipes, DIY videos, research prompts for later, and just a ton of personal reminders

And lastly my Studying page: it’s where all my notes exist, organized course-wise. Like I said I’ve not started college yet so this isn’t more sophisticated, nor does it have a track of deadlines or anything

This is how it is for now, but my layout keeps changing, pages keep coming and going depending on what I need at the moment. RE getting used to Notion, I’d suggest just playing around with it. You’ll figure out what you need the more you use it.

i promised i would update this from last year, and decided to do a walkthrough for @sleepanon!

i’ve taken my school bujo-ing digital for the past year, so i’m going to create a mini-series of how i’ve tinkered with notion to make it work for me! there’s a fair learning curve to it, so my inbox is open for questions if you have any from my posts (not notion in general. ..i’m not an expert lol).

step 1: start a new page! under database, select table

step 2: rename the labels to assignments and class (leave Files alone) for now. you can also title the page and add icons/covers

step 3: select the files label, then under ‘property type’ change it to ‘date’ (this is for deadlines–i start with my official syllabus dates)

ALSO a part of step 3, but after changing to the deadline property, add another one! click that next label, and follow the same menu as above, but select checkbox to give you an option to ‘complete’ your tasks:

step 4: in the ‘class’ row (the first blank after the label), type in a course name to create a tag. once you do so, you can select the tag to edit it or change colors // you can repeat this step as many times as you need to for your assignments. i like to do my entire semester at once since i work ahead of the syllabus, but it might be good to take it month by month!

step 5: now, let’s add the calendar view. on the lefthand side, ‘add view’, name it, then select calendar (not just highlight like me, but click it!)

step 6: you should now see your assignments on the calendar. on the right side (top) of the calendar, click ‘properties’ and turn everything on!

you can also filter the calendar to only show completed/non completed tasks or by class:

and you can click on any assignment to open it, and add further properties:
