How to Build a Master Task Management Database in Notion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Notion is an INCREDIBLE tool, but it can be a little complicated to stay organized. In this video, we take a look at Jesse Showalter's task management system in Notion. I saw how he organized it was with silos and filters and was mind-blown at how simple and easy it is!

Just noticed the looping moon 🤦🏼♂️ forgive my mistake
This is F****** clear and essential. I have been struggling for a whole day until I see this video. Wonderful job, respect.
Glad you liked it!
This is EXACTLY what I've been searching for. Thank you for the quick, clear, thorough walk-through. Now I can get on with it. Also, I think the looping moon is cool. I thought it was on purpose. Cheers!
Well I wanted it there. but I cut a few frames off so you can tell it loops. Usually it just plays. But thanks!
Thanks for the shout out Dalton. The setup is looking sweet! Keep up the good work
Thank you! Loved what you showed and wanted to recreate it.
Hey Dalton & fellow Notioners! 👋
I started drawing Notion icons a few days ago and thought I'd share it with the community 🤗
If anyone is interested in getting their own custom notion profile picture, check out the link in the comment below 👇
I was overcomplicating myself with other tutorials, this is a very simple and nice way to work with different tasks. Thank you so much!
I'm going to second this. This is exactly what I needed to get the ball rolling.
💯
I am curious, why don't you use the date property for your tasks so you can see your tasks in a calendar view and it is dynamic throughout the databases?
I am also curious as to why you don't use an 'areas' database for your silo select property, then relate the specific silo to the task instead of using the select property as if they were related you would be able to go between the 2 spaces quicker, see the information without the need to go back and forward, and changing the relation is dynamic between the 2 databases rather than having to go to both pages?
Nice video, keep the videos coming. 😁
great idea.
Thank you SO much!! Been trying to find a video this explainatory for a few hours now since I only found out about Notion today ahahah! Definitely so helpful
Glad it could help! Happy to answer any other questions.
Thank you man. I watched so many videos. This one specifically helped the most!
Thank you so much! Is it also possible to make a weekly agenda and make the tasks go in it automatically?
Of course! Yes, in a roundabout way. Make a table with your agenda and tasks, add a calendar column, then add a calendar view. Set up the dates, repeating, etc.
Thank you so much, Dalton!! Very helpful video☺️
Very comprehensive review!
we've to manually change the status everytime according to current date?
Guy just arranged his entire life in note taking app. Awesome!
Thanks for the great content! Exactly what I was looking for
05:03 How to bring up Emoji windows? Thank you!

Simple and explained clearly. Thanks!
Everyone makes this so confusing to understand. Finally I have found this Video. This is exactly how I needed it to be explained. Thank you so much man keep up the great work
Thanks!
Is there a Video where he created the whole dashboard at the beginning?
This was what i was looking for. Namaste 🙏
this was very helpful thank you
Please could you provide the template
Thank you for this video! I am a beginner in Notion and I want to make a task management system but these videos that I keep finding are difficult to do. But your tutorial is clear and the one I am looking for. Thank you!
This was awesome! Thank you.
Great workflow, one question comes to mind, what happens when you go past the "Today" planning status. Is there a way to find out which task become overdue. Asana does this. It seems that using notion as a task manager requires you to manually change the status all the time, which fine but wondering if there isn't the habit of constantly changing the due date, you won't ever see that's it overdue and today task could pile up. And how to know which ones are of previous today and not recent todays.
Yo bro Thanks!
great Video!
thankyou
So simple. I love it
Template?
Great explanations to get my head around Notion as a beginner! Thank you :)
Glad it helped! Best of luck.
Great video, very helpful for a first time Notion user! Thank you Dalton.
Glad it could help!
Thanks a lot , it really helped me ..... love your videos
Thank you!
I already new how to use notion but this new way you built is a game changer for me thanks !
Glad it helped!
12:42 - "I'm not 50 and I can read it."
As a 50-year-old watching this video, I had to stop watching just to comment that I caught that. ;)
haha glad you can read it! When my mom turned 50, she refused to ever wear reading glasses
I'd really appreciate it if you can share your dashboard with us like other people do and some people sell their dashboard after they remove their details
Jusrt revamped my Notion dashboard thanks to your video! I feel so much more organized now with this system :)
That's awesome!
Bro ngl this is the simplest explanation I've found so far. Great Job!
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Seconded, coming from fresh this is the easiest tutorial so far.
THIS IS THE VIDEO. I have been dying to start using Notion for to-do lists and projects but I could not figure out how to do it how I imagined. this covers every single thing I needed to know. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Yay! That makes me so happy. Enjoy Alex! Let me know if you have any questions.
Great video, thanks for this! Just a question though, is there a way to link the status to the due date. The way it is set-up now you've got to update the status manually don't you?
Oh yeah, subbed!!
@@donmurowski9421 Could you please explain how you did that? I can't find it anywhere
Good job Dalton, for explaining clearly on how to use Notion Database to make a more sophisticated tracking system!
Wow man. Bless your soul. I’ve been struggling to use Notion for the past 2-3 years and you’ve opened my eyes. This application is incredibly powerful. So happy I found you. Subbed and looking forward to supporting your page from here on out. Thanks again!!
Glad I could help! Thanks for the kind words
Very cool. I have similar setups, though I have simplified a lot over the years. I like having an inbox: literally just a blank page that is second on my Fav list so I can quickly open it up on my phone and jot down anything. For tasks, I like using Things. It's tough to have Notion tasks because there isn't a centralized "your tasks" like dropbox paper does. Would love that feature to be added.
i agree! I've recently been using Things for tasks and like it a lot, but I enjoy showing others what you can do in Notion. Also a huge fan of your work at The Futur.
this is pretty much the perfect notion to do list tutorial
Thank you!
I'm a new notion user, and I've been looking how to manage my tasks. Your video is absolutely incredible, definitely what I needed !! Thank you sooooo much
This is a very clear and straightforward tutorial. Thank you!
can you do a video on the daily habit tracker?
16:25
very helpful, thanks for sharing Dalton!
Is it possible to create folders on the left hand side apart from favourites if you have a lot of pages??
Yes. If you Create a page for folders and then drag the pages you want in those page. It kinda works like a folder.
@@dltnio thank you I’m new to the app so don’t know much about it yet
Thank you so much, this was really helpful.
Great walk-through and detailed tips! Would also enjoy seeing how you did your Daily Habit Tracker. Template? From scratch? 👍
GREAT video idea! Might make this from scratch today or tomorrow. Glad it helped!
This was great thank you
This was really informative. Thank you so much Dalton. Keep up the good content :)
So glad! Thank you, I'm trying my best.
Thanks so much for sharing, this video was super helpful for a Notion newbie!
Glad it could help! Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you very much ,Dalton,
the shortest and most useful video I saw for Notion task management .
Glad it could help!
Oh my days, thanks so much for that full width tip
this is what i needed! thanks!!
Thank you!
Mate, THANK YOU! I watched Showalter's video and was like 'uh huh, that sounds cool... how do I make it though???' and then I found this video in the comments and now I'm happy 😁
Wow! You found this video in the comments?
@@dltnio Yeah, someone posted it as a comment on Showalter's video. I'm a total notion novice so I really needed your level of explanation. Thanks!
@@dltnio BTW, while I've got you... the Tomorrow, Today, Next Month etc. tags... if I tagged it tomorrow, when tomorrow comes round it still says tomorrow... what's the best way to handle that? Delete yesterday's 'Today' tag, Rename the 'tomorrow' tag today, and create a new 'tomorrow' tag? Can I automate that???
@@jem7000 The best way to do it is add a "Do Date" as in when you're going to do that task, and then create a Today view that filters out everything but today's date. Refer to my date specific to do video on my channel
Enjoyed the vid. Since you play with both what makes you decide when to use Notion vs Roam Research?
Good question! It's interesting some people are extremely devoted to one or another, which I understand, but don't have the same opinion on.
Notion is where I organize everything with tasks and databases, but I use Roam to write and take notes on articles. I usually take notes in Notion on books because the markdown transfers to Webflow better, and then I copy that to Roam for synthesizing and developing my own thoughts on. Does that make sense?
Notion = Tasks, plans, goals; tangible things
Roam = Thoughts, ideas, connections (really for the backlinking and automatic connections)
Big fan of not forcing an app to be what it's not. Right now, it's called Roam Research and it's a great application to do research in, but doesn't come close to productivity and producing as Notion does. Not yet at least.
@@dltnio Yes I find it hard trying to use media such as images within the confines of Roam but often lose the connections in Notion. Trying to figure out a way to create a workflow for schooling & my notes on various other topics & thoughts if that makes sense
@@thebadjer8249 I think the best workflow would be to create a tracking table in Notion, take notes in Roam, and link back that Roam page to Notion. The backlinking is genius in Roam and helps with concepts and notes.
@@dltnio So basically just use Notion for your tasks & to dos (actions or whatever wording you would want to use) & Roam would be more for the notes themselves? That sounds like that could be a starting pt
Thank you very much for the clear tutorial on how to create a master task list in Notion!
Hope it helps!
Excellent video. Clear explanation and walk thru. Isn't there a way to make one silo list? If u want to add or remove or modify you have to change it in multiple locations.
Thank you!
Yes. I could make a new database named Silos, And then add a relational database time named Silos. That’s the easiest way to do it!
They get confusing, so I only use those with large scale projects 🤷🏼♂️
@@dltnioThat makes sense. Thank u.
Man, I've been trying to get a master task list working to track tasks across multiple projects but was not understanding it. But you made it very clear. Thank you!
I work for a Software company and am involved with customers, trainers, product development, implementation, management, sales - it's crazy! I now think I have Notion really humming and finding it great for personal stuff too. Thanks again!
Scott Hillstrom Sounds like an awesome job! Glad I could help. Let me know if you ever need tutorials for your company 🙂
I will. I haven't seen or heard of anyone using it so I'm going to get a little more comfortable with it then show it off!
When in select area how to add then quickly add another
Not sure what you're asking
This should have a million views. Best Notion walkthrough I've seen!
Wow, that means so much. Thank you! Can I ask what you thought made it so good?
@@dltnio straight to the point, and you mentioned the key items I believe most people want to see - dashboard, mastertasks, and notes. I just created my dashboard yesterday thanks to you! Keep it up!
I can agree with that bro. Watched all these notion videos with a bunch of clicks but most of the explanations/systems are just too complicated. I needed something simple and straightforward and that‘s what it is. You‘re a smart guy man, keep things simple and straightforward and hopefully your channel will grow very fast, that‘s maybe your unique selling point
@@ZKBeatz07 That's been my goal! Trying to keep things simple and frictionless. Less "oh that's cool" features people will never use. Thanks!
This was really helpful, thank you!
Thank you so much!
Another killer video my friend! 🔥
Thanks man! 👊🏼
Thank you so much!
Hope it helped!
how did u suddenly pull up the fire emojis?
CMD-CTRL-SPACE on mac
On Windows 10 it's the Windows key and period!
can u do a guide for taskade.com next?
I've never heard of that before! I'm checking it out now. What specifically do you want to know?
@@dltnio any tips on taskade would be awesome
GENUIS!
Thanks!
