I can not wait for your next videos about the daily tracker or the 2023 Notion Life OS Template update. I have been trying to learn notion. And while there are a lot of great pages out there that I can modify to almost fit my needs you have helped me learn how to do most things by myself. I have been wanting to make a cleaning schedule of sorts, one that will repopulate on the day of the week it is set, the recurring tasks have now made that possible, I just need to learn a good setup for making the database. (😉😉 Maybe if you need some additional content ideas this can be added to the list) Thank you again for all of your wonderful videos, I never realized just how badly I needed this software and how much it would help me organize my life and help me be more productive.
Thanks for all you do and any information that makes us more productive!
Ah thanks Randy - my pleasure! Notion recurring ! :)
Love your design! thanks!
Thank you! Excited for this latest version of the life OS template on the design front: think it will be simpler to navigate and far more aesthetic :)
Thanks! Loved this. 🎉
Amazing! Thanks my friend. :)
I can't wait to buy the upgrade for 2023. Thanks for creating these videos Simon.
Glad you like them! Thanks - Yes - the new version will be ready sometime in the new year once development is complete! hoping for Feb. Users will be notified!
Thanks for sharing, Simon! Another amazing video!
Cheers from Brazil!
Ah thanks pal! Great to get the encouragement! Have a great holiday season
@@BetterCreating you as well!
Your channel is so powerful!
Glad you think so! Thanks
Hi Simon! Thank you so much for this! I just found your channel from your 2 part financial tracker videos (amazingly helpful). Would this be a solution for recurring expenses, as opposed to the template button you created in the video? Or do you think it's just as easy to do it that way?
This is a bit advanced for me as a new user but excited to watch and learn more from your channel. I like the look of your blocks, very cohesive
Thanks :)
Love this habit tracker better than the way it was on the other template because I love the idea of checking the box. Now when your habits change in the following year do you, create a 2024 tracker page?
Hi Simon! Thank you so much for this video! I was looking for a way to automatically add a date in a recurring template since I'm mostly working with a calendar/week view and whenever a new template was created, it wasn't added automatically to the correct day. I tried it with the 'Show by Created Time' option, but I didn't like the fact that the added time was also displayed. Thank you so much for your video and your great work in general!
Cheers mate!
You're very welcome! Yes - it’s a tricky one that! I’m getting around it with an if formula that propose created time if so date is empty, otherwise created time - and then organise by that formula column. In a video soon I expect. :)
I just started watching your videos literally 6 days ago. I’m learning a ton! I’m currently building your 2022 build. Should I stop and wait on 2023?
Ah thank you! Great to hear and welcome to the BC community. No - all good to keep building if you are using the Notion from Scratch series. It will keep developing in the right direction. Won’t be exactly the same as my 2023 templates thou as they are 1000s if hours of building and not really possibly to cover all of it on the video series! :) enjoy!
So happy I found this! I have used DAYS to try and build a Life OS in Notion with an integrated habit tracker. Didn't manage and almost gave up when I stumbled upon your videos. Top quality content Simon! Quick question: will I learn how to build your Life OS through the Notion from scratch programme? I'm torn between getting it from your website and taking the time to build it so I understand it better...
Fantastic! Thanks for the feedback. Re the life OS in this process - yes and no. Videos build a good proportion of the system I offer in the template - but it would be so much time and work to cover every detail of the full templates since they are so comprehensive and some parts use quite complex formulas to create simple user interfaces. The idea is that this series will offer a really solid version of it - but the templates are much larger. Videos 1-5 create a very similar version of 5 sections of my ‘Simplified Notion’ template. That said - watching and following them is a great way to gain the Notion basic knowledge - try the system - and then if you like it - a template will skip the 100s of hours of building - so you can have further functionality and elements. :)
@@BetterCreating Thanks for getting back to me. I ended up making the purchase and can see what you mean with the complexity! Learning more and more by the hour, and it's exactly what I needed. Such great value and so much work you put into this. Well done!
Hi there, I've been a Notion user for some time now and I am in the process of switching over to your template to give it a go. Do you plan on making a 2023 version of your Notion (perhaps 3.0) setup or is the old stuff still mainly what you use?
Thanks for the great content and inspiration! Ive picked up many useful tips and tricks along the way thanks to you!
Cheers from Germany
Great to hear: Yes - I'm making a 2023 version that will be significantly updated to use all the new Notion features for the last few months. Existing users will get access (I will notify) - but you would have to move completely across to the new template of course. So it's up to you. I'm aiming to launch it in February if all goes to plan! Cheers.
I really love your videos, and I hardly comment but wanted to let you know that your content is amazing, thanks for all you do!
Really appreciate that my friend. Comments like these make all the difference to stay consistent and keep it all moving forward. Many thanks.
It appears that we have to choose between recurrent tasks and subtasks, because even if the task itself reappears fresh and new every day (week, month), its subtasks do not change. E.g. if you mark a subtask as done today, tomorrow it will reappear as done. Do you by chance have a solution?
I just purchased the Complete Notion V2. Super excited to use it. When will the V3 be out with this recurring template ?
Hi Naif - I’m working on it and hoping to be ready in February - lots to do thou! You’ll get an email. :)
Man I really love your work but I have one very important question. I see you showing a lot of templates, I decide to use one and boom in a another video you use other and it keeps repeating, which one is the one you use?
thx for the video u, nfortunately i could calculate SUM Colum in new feature
but when it comes to sub items included into Colum i could not SUM it all >> hope there a solution for that .
thx in advance
Sorry - I’m not clear on what you are talking about here…
Really good feature but what blew my mind was changing from the Blue in Build from Scratch to Orange 🤣
I’m mind blowing like that. 🥶😂
Out of curiosity, I recently purchased your Notion template maybe 2 weeks ago. Will I also have access to the 2023 version?
Yes indeed: all the feature updates will be available to existing users - but you would have to move across to the new template of course. :) aiming for a Feb release
what would you do for a recurring task like "going to the gym" which only happens on certain days?
Use the weekly option and set the days there. I’d maybe list that in my habit tracker
Relations don't work with Recurring for me. Someone had the same problem?
Ah how strange - Are you adding the relation link to the template page by editing the template? Still not working ?
Theis nition update with routines doesn't work for me. I don't see them in my to-do list
You’ll likely need to look at your filters on your to-do list videos and use the formula and created date solution I share in this video if you sort your to do lists by a date column. Also: recurring templates don’t yet pre fill the calendar - they just generate on the day set.
The problem with the recurring task is they do not automatically adjust the due date like other task managers do. Until they do that the feature does me no good.
Yes absolutely - that’s what we need next right? And ideally pre-populated calendars like google Cal! :)
1:20 kind of annoying when the animated scene kept moving. I wanted to see how you have it set up -_-
Sorry about that! Will demo the auto tracker more clearly in a future vid! :)
YES! it KEEPS Moving to show his face or a whole different thing smh VERY hard for beginners to understand whats going on.
Simon, bruh your mind does not process like mine. Is there a way you can break down setting up a recurring tasks in steps instead of bouncing around so much. Love it but I can't keep up with you. :)
Yes: here’s the a step by step example of setting it up in my Notion from Scratch tutorial series where I offer specific build processes. :) Build A Notion Task Manager! #3: Recurring Tasks & Project Templates
th-cam.com/video/XklwUyOeG5E/w-d-xo.html
It’s great that you made a video about recurring task and how to do it however, your video editing makes it too confusing with all the constant zoom in and out, jumping from template to another page back and forth, if you really want to help it would be much more beneficial to start from a black page, start a new template and go step but steps without all this unnecessary fancy transitions that actually confuse the viewers instead of helping them to understand
Thanks for the feedback: this is more an overview. I do that in my Notion from Scratch series and will be adding a set of Recurring / sub tasks builds from scratch there soon. Thanks
Please let people know this is just an overview! It's SO frustrating to beginners (especially when we're already stuck) to try learning from this when the edit is skipping all over the place. Nearly impossible to understand.
I’m releasing a step by step build video this month on recurring tasks as part of my Notion From Scratch video. This will be more of a tutorial. Thanks
@@BetterCreating THANK YOU!! sorry, I was just frustrated, great content overall tho.
very confusing how you jump around. This should say ADVANCED
I recommend watching my Notion from scratch series which is designed for beginners and as a tutorial. Cheers
@@BetterCreating I ended up going with Asana, Thank you for your help tho. I may try again next time
