Learn more about Notion Calendar Templates

A Notion calendar template is a predefined structure within Notion that helps users quickly set up a calendar view tailored to specific needs, such as content planning, task tracking, or event scheduling. On this page we show you different calendar templates for content planning, journaling, workouts or goal setting.

To import a template, you usually access the original link after purchase. Then you duplicate it into your Notion workspace, there you can freely customize it according to your needs.

Yes, Notion templates, including calendar templates, are fully customizable. You can add, delete, or modify properties, views, and content as per your requirements.

You can easily change the view by adding a new view to the database and selecting your desired format.

You can use the “Date” property in Notion to set reminders for specific times. However, do note that the reminder feature might have some limitations compared to dedicated calendar apps.

Absolutely! Notion supports rich text, which means you can embed content, link to external sources, or even link to other Notion pages within your calendar entries.

Multipurpose in nature

Every single thing that you do has a dedicated date or deadline. Using these calendar templates, your time management is sorted—be it for work, personal life, or whatever you have in mind. Examples of use cases would be managing school, university deadlines, content creation, project management,  daily journaling , birthday, anniversary reminders, or even  tracking daily habits .

Create consistency in your life

In today’s fast-paced and busy world, every single human being has different things going on at the same time. This is why managing your time is key as it increases your chances of staying ahead of your peers and succeeding. You need to use a planning system to  truly build consistency  and ensure that you’re getting everything done. This is where a calendar template can help you bring some much-needed semblance to your life. For example, a workout calendar template could help you record your daily progress and keep you on track.

Boost your productivity

I’m sure you’ve heard a lot of solutions to help you boost your productivity, but all of it comes down to planning and knowing what’s happening when. A monthly calendar template will help you do that. Let me give you an example: if you’re strategizing the content for your marketing channels, using a content calendar template will allow you to do it all in one sitting. Using the zoomed-out view of these templates, you can prioritize your tasks for the day, week, or month. When you’re able to prioritize, it’s easier to get through your list of tasks and make your deadlines.

Foster collaboration

People often think that a calendar template can be used to manage only  their  work. That’s not true. Using such calendar templates, you can use them for working with a team or even for your own family. Collaborate in real-time and see what each person is up to at any time. For a group project, a  project management template  will help you keep track of everybody’s progress with respect to their deadlines.

Tag: organization, how to stay organized as a college student.

The transition from high school to college introduces independence and accountability into our lives. You are responsible for attending your lectures, choosing your class times, and for many of us, paying room and board. These responsibilities can be overwhelming, especially staying on top of your assignments, completing personal tasks, and including time for socialization and self-care. It might feel as though you have to neglect certain parts of your life in order to be successful as a student, but that isn’t always true, this post includes tools you can use to give you peace of mind and structure in your life.

Notion is an all-in-one workspace that allows you to keep your life organized and gives creative freedom on what you want to create. There are endless possibilities on what you can create, such as finances trackers, vacation planning, habit trackers, and most importantly assignment trackers. This is the platform that I have used since my freshman year of college and I believe it is the reason I have been able to be successful and stay on top of my coursework.

Before using Notion, I had been overwhelmed with the daily tasks of being a college student. I remember asking myself, how do I stay on top of class, complete extracurricular activities, work on side projects, have a job, stay on top of finances and bills, have time for social activities, and have time for self-care? When you list these things out, it sounds extremely overwhelming, and can cause of sense of doubt. Since you’re stressed out about what you have to do, many times we procrastinate and prevent ourselves from achieving what we are capable of. In reality, it all comes down to how well you organize and structure these activities.

Assignment Tracker

An assignment tracker is a great way to start your journey with Notion. I start off my pages with a cover, which I usually download from Pinterest or choose from the built in options on Notion. I then choose an icon to be at the top of the page to be the page identifier on the sidebar view. I then insert a table and put in my school schedule with course number and class times, including an estimated study time depending on the day. Under this schedule is where I insert a call out, where I include my reminders. Lastly, I include a table view with my assignments! I include the class name, my status on the assignment, the date I want to start working on it, then the due date.

Here is an example assignment page that I use!

It may be difficult to get started on Notion and learn all of its functionalities, there are guides available to help you get started with creating your online workspace! Additionally, if you are stuck on how you want to customize your pages, there are free templates available that you can import into your Notion page that has everything all done for you! These include templates such as study pages, travel planners, investment planners and more.

Google Calendar

Google Calendar is an online calendar that allows you to plan your daily tasks in an organized manner. I have tried numerous online calendars and highly prefer using Google Calendar to plan my day because of the color customization and overall visual aspects of the calendar.

A tip I have as a college student is to plan your days one at a time, this means setting apart 20 minutes at the end of each day to plan how you want the next day to be structured. When you do this, you are most likely to stick to your plan and not set unrealistic goals for yourself as you might do when planning an entire month out at once. Knowing this, it is still good practice to note down any special dates such as meetings, appointments, or any future commitments so you don’t forget.

I recommend planning absolutely everything , especially if you are someone that struggles with productivity. This means planning the time you will wake up, time to get ready, time to get to a certain destination etc. Of course, life happens and it may not always go as planned, but knowing an idea of how your day will look like helps bring a sense of peace to our already busy lives. 

Here is an example of how your Google Calendar may look like:

To customize the colors and make your calendar look aesthetically pleasing, there are multiple online tutorials to help you get started.

Do I Need Anything Else?

It is a common belief that to be productive we need to purchase extra tools such as a nice laptop, an iPad, or digital journals. If these are tools that actually do help, that’s great! However, many times these are unnecessary purchases that may not help at all or be useful to you. Productivity comes down to you and how you utilize your time. I realized that all I need to be successful is my laptop and nothing else. I was someone who was influenced to buy an iPad due to the belief that it would boost my productivity, sometimes I write some notes on it, but there are times where I go months without touching it. Don’t feel like you need fancy materials to be productive. You are capable of achieving your goals by your determination and willingness to try out new tools such as Notion or Google Calendar.

Good luck on your academic journey!

If it’s too complicated, you may struggle to make it part of your routine, and that’s not what we want . Choose a user-friendly template. It’ll make daily planning much more comfortable.

By the time you’re done reading, you’ll know how to put together a digital calendar that looks great and streamlines your daily routine.

1. Color Code

Organizing your Notion calendar is easier with color coding. Just assign different colors to various tasks or events .

But don’t let extras get in the way of a straightforward, functional design.

4. Stickers & Animated Icons

Want a little extra pop in your calendar template? Try stickers and animated icons . You can find them on sites like Icons 8 or Lottie Files (1) .

How to Get Started With Notion

Notion is a popular productivity tool, but it can be daunting at first. The app does a lot of different things and uses terminology you may not be familiar with. Take it slowly with this step-by-step guide.

What Is Notion?

Notion is a note-taker, but it’s also a task management app, a project tracker, and a home for your galleries . You can even use it to host a website! It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by Notion because it’s quite different from other apps, and it packs a lot into its interface.

You can use Notion as a collaborative tool, to work on projects with teammates or share task lists. However, it’s best not to run before you can walk. By learning the fundamental concepts, and practicing how to use Notion for your personal activities first, you’ll be able to use it more effectively in a work setting.

Starting Notion for the First Time

If you havent already done so, create an account on Notion.so or download the desktop app .

When you first start Notion, it will display a splash screen prompting you to set it up:

It doesn’t matter too much which option you select, but I recommend you select For personal use for your first time. Then press Continue .

The next screen asks “What’s on your mind?” and you can select any of the available features. Notion will attempt to personalize your experience based on your selection. Again, I recommend you skip this by selecting nothing and pressing either Continue or Skip for now .

Create Your First Notion Page

Pages are central to everything you’ll do with Notion, whether you’re managing project status or commenting on a colleague’s design.

• In the sidebar, underneath a few sample pages ( Getting Started , Monthly Budget ), click the Add a page option.
• Replace the Untitled text with a name for your page. This can be anything you want and you can easily change it later.
• Try typing some text in the main body of your page. Select some text and youll see a toolbar that lets you apply various formatting.

Adding Content to a Page

Apart from any text you type, Notion lets you add more advanced content that it calls “blocks.”

• On an empty line, type a single / . This brings up a menu with many different types of blocks you can add.
• Type to-do, then add the To-do list block to your page. You can add individual tasks to this list and click them to mark them as completed.

Adding More Pages

You can add a new top-level page using the previous method, but you can also add a sub-page to an existing page. For large projects, you can use a sophisticated hierarchy to organize your thoughts.

• On an empty line, type a single / .
• From the Basic blocks , select Page .
• Give your sub-page a name and fill it out as you require.

You can also create a sub-page from the sidebar by hovering a page name and clicking the + icon ( Add a page inside ).

Your new page will not show in the sidebar by default. To confirm you’ve created it, simply click the page icon to the left of its parent page. This will expand the parent page, displaying its sub-pages.

Adding a sub-page will automatically add a link to it in the parent page:

Templates, Databases, and Other Features

Notion offers a large set of templates that you can use to create pages. Some of these have much more than basic text functionality, including meal planners, expense trackers, and lesson plans.

Start by clicking the Templates menu in the sidebar. This will open a template gallery from which you can search and select templates. Try the To-do list template and click Get template once you’ve found it.

This will create a new page from that template. Note how it is much more advanced than the To-do list block, with a table of data and two different views named Tasks and Board . This is what Notion calls a database.

A Notion database is simply a collection of pages with different views to show specific information from those pages. They are a powerful way of organizing and displaying your data, and you can even use formulas to replicate what you might otherwise use a spreadsheet for.

Databases are a Notion concept that sounds quite complicated, so its best to familiarize yourself with them via templates.

Notion uses the fundamental concepts of blocks, templates, and databases to provide much more functionality. From calendars to bug trackers and bookmark lists, there are many types of content you can use with Notion to manage large parts of your work and life.

Aside from these features, Notion can use AI to summarize or translate your pages. It also lets you set task reminders , embed a Spotify playlist, and much, much more.

Notion Assignment Template

Simple Notion template for uni or school assignments With this template you can make your university assignments, essays, etc look very clean with no design effort. You can write your essay on the Notion page and then export it to PDF. You can also export to HTML and Markdown & CSV. If you get the product, please consider rating it to support me, thanks! ________ ⚠ By obtaining the product, you agree to use it for personal use only, and not to share, distribute or use the content for commercial use.

How can I duplicate the template?

Once you're on the Notion page, you will have the button "duplicate" on top-right. Click on it and choose your workspace. Your template should be there in a few instants 🎉

Does this template works with Notion's free plan?

Yes. Every feature of this template will perfectly work if you are on Notion’s free plan.

What is a Notion template?

By definition, Notion templates are pre-built Notion pages that you can duplicate into your Notion workspace with a simple click. They can be simple pages or very advanced systems with multiple databases. Using templates can help you save time and hours of work to get started quicker with Notion.

Honey, I Love You. Didn’t You See My Slack About It?

Some couples are using professional project-management software to maintain their relationships. Why does it bother other people?

By Erin Griffith

Ben Lang didn’t expect to get so much hate just for being organized. For the past three years, he and his wife, Karen-Lynn Amouyal, have been using Notion, a popular software tool, to optimize their household and relationship. His version of the tool, commonly used by businesses to manage complex projects, functions like a souped-up Google Doc, with sections for a grocery list, to-do lists and details of upcoming trips.

More unusual is a section Mr. Lang, a venture capital investor who previously worked at Notion, created about principles (“what’s important to us as a couple”). Another section, called “Learnings,” outlines things the couple have discovered about each other, such as their love languages and Myers-Briggs test results. There’s a list of friends they want to set up on dates. They also maintain a log of memories from their date nights. Mr. Lang, 30, was so proud of the creation that last month, he started promoting a template of the setup to others. “My wife and I use Notion religiously to manage our day-to-day life,” he wrote on X. “I turned this into a template, let me know if you’d like to see it!”

The internet responded with a venomous outrage. “People have told me my wife is cheating on me, people have told me I have a dead body in my basement, people have told me I’m autistic,” he said.

But his approach isn’t entirely unusual, especially among people who work in the tech industry and want to manage their personal lives the same way they manage their professional lives. For a class of young workers, it’s only rational to apply the tools of the corporate world to their relationships and families. Businesses have goals and systems for achieving them, the thinking goes. They get things done.

Anastasia Alt, 35, uses Kanban boards — a visual tracking system where tasks progress from left to right — in Trello, a project management tool, for “literally everything.” This includes work at Yana Sleep , her e-commerce start-up, but also planning trips and events with her partner. The two of them also have a dedicated Slack work space, named after a mash-up of their surnames with a logo created using the artificial intelligence software Midjourney. She acknowledged, in jest, that some of her systems were “a little psychopathic,” but said she’s always been an optimizer.

Ms. Alt said the Slack work space has emotional benefits for her relationship, too: freeing up their text messages and in-person conversations for the fun stuff.

“I’m glad, when the workday is over, that I don’t need to address 20 minutes’ worth of semi-urgent logistical items before diving into eating takeout food and hanging out with our dogs,” she said. “Sitting in person and hashing out a schedule together is less high-quality time than sitting in person and, you know, telling jokes.”

A #gratitude channel, where the couple posts messages of appreciation or acknowledgment of what the other person is doing, has become a repository of memories she likes to look back on, almost like a photo album, she said.

Lessons From Business

Relationships are work, but no one wants to admit it.

But this particular flavor of life hacking often causes observers to collectively recoil. It threatens to take the romance and spontaneity out of life, in their view. It feels cold.

“There is a phenomenon whereby the more you try to manage your life, the more you risk squeezing the vibrancy out of it,” said Oliver Burkeman, author of “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals.”

And yet, the crushing overwhelm of modern life, with daily to-do lists and schedules and notifications and digital logistics can feel so never-ending that any solution offering to optimize even the tiniest task — or most meaningful relationship — looks like a lifeline worth grasping for.

Emily Oster, a parenting expert and economist, rose to popularity by promoting a data-based approach to managing pregnancy, including in her latest book “The Unexpected.” She also wrote a book in 2021 called “The Family Firm,” which advises using a “business process” to make family decisions about, for instance, extracurriculars or getting your kid a phone. Some critics have attacked her approach for the same reasons they recoil from a Notion template for married couples — it can feel detached.

Dr. Oster said the problem is not systems like hers — it’s not having difficult conversations about priorities and principles. Her spreadsheets and other tools are designed to set people up for the lives they want, she said.

“Surfacing conflict on purpose is something we don’t generally like to do,” she said. “It’s hard to do at work, also, but it’s even harder to do with someone you want go to sleep with at night.”

Dr. Oster said the lesson she takes from the business world to her personal life is to make thoughtful, deliberate decisions. “I don’t think there is a limit to how far you can take that,” she said.

She’s not alone in that thinking. Even amid the backlash to Mr. Lang’s template, more than 2,400 people liked it enough to download a copy, with an option to pay up to $25.

‘They Are Craving a Solution’

Claire Kart, 40, was among those who bought the template, in part, she said, because she was amused by all the jokes about it. But also, with two kids under the age of 3, the allure of a better, more productive, more organized way of life at home was irresistible.

Ms. Kart, a marketing executive at a cryptocurrency start-up, already has some optimization systems in place with her husband, a start-up founder. They use Google’s Keep app for a shared grocery list and Google calendars to manage their schedule. She has elaborately color-coded Google Sheets for Christmas gifts and vacation planning. (She calls herself the family’s chief creative officer, as well as chief investment officer. Her husband is the chief financial officer and chief technology officer.)

Ms. Kart said systems like hers were necessary for splitting up household management duties. One person can keep everything in their head, she said, but “dividing and co-owning that work” leads to “coordination friction.”

Like Ms. Alt, she believes the systems free up their limited in-person time for more meaningful conversations. “Using that really rare time to talk about a grocery list feels lonely,” she said.

Since her second child was born a little over a year ago, Ms. Kart and her husband have been “cutting scope,” she said, using a project management phrase for doing less. “We’re in survival mode,” she said. “Just cooking dinner feels like a win.”

Mr. Lang’s template could help, she said. The only problem so far? She’s been too busy to set it up.

A smaller subset of people have always used tech tools in their personal lives, but the practice has spread in recent years. Mei Lin Ng, the co-founder of the family tech start-up, Hearth, said that one reason past attempts to create technology for the family have failed was that consumers weren’t as open to it. Her company’s product, a 27-inch screen that families can mount in their homes to display schedules, assign chores and help kids with morning and bedtime routines that became available last year, is being adopted by digitally native millennials.

“Consumers are really, really ready for something like this,” she said. “They are craving a solution.”

After Ms. Alt told her friend and fellow optimizer, Ryan Matzner, about her couples’ Slack, he immediately started his own. It was a bit of an uphill battle to get his fiancée, Kate McKenzie, on board — she is a medical school student and preferred analog tools like a paper planner — but they’re now using Trello, Slack and a shared Google calendar to plan their wedding.

Mr. Matzner, 39, co-founder of a product development agency called Fueled, realized that he had been avoiding responding to text messages from Ms. McKenzie because their thread had turned into a to-do list full of tasks.

So they dumped all their administrative tasks into Slack, which has expanded beyond wedding planning into regular life with more than 40 channels including #house-parties, #travel and #ludwig-the-car.

Being hyper-organized and efficient is a natural outgrowth of having a very active work and social life, Mr. Matzner said. He sends calendar invites the minute he makes plans and saves new friends into his contacts with their city — searchable anytime he’s in town — as well as a note if they’d be fun to invite to a dinner party. He wishes someone would build a “personal C.R.M.” (customer relationship management, the kind of system sold by companies like Salesforce), since none of the options he’s tried are entirely satisfying.

Being the organized person in a relationship can lead to friction. Kate Reznykova, 27, a venture capital investor, used to frequently field random queries like, “How do we log into our internet?” from her partner throughout the day, which tested her patience. She recently started using Mr. Lang’s Notion template to establish a “shared source of truth” for such questions. “If I get a text, I say, ‘Go to the page, it’s all there,’” she said.

Mr. Lang was amused by the attention his template got online. There were memes about divorce rates spiking in San Francisco, about “offboarding” one’s wife and about requiring your partner to submit a “purchase order approval form” to spend money. He posted his own joke version, with quarterly objectives and annual reviews for relationships.

He and Ms. Amouyal used Notion to plan their wedding — a life event that, anecdotally, seems to turn many couples into project managers — and decided to keep it going after their honeymoon. The most hated part of his template, the date night log, was simply a way to follow all the marriage advice he kept hearing, he said. Everyone told him how important it was to keep the connection strong as life gets busier and more complicated. Why not create a journal of all the fun things they’ve done together? The outsized reaction was a surprise.

“I thought a few people would respond and think it’s cute,” he said.
