anyone know how to do notion formulas??? pls help also it's been a while since I've posted, but it would have been an even longer wait if not for Steven joining the editing and creative direction of this channel! so excited and relieved to have an amazing person and artist helping me with videos and community events, can't wait to share more of what we are planning! big thank you to Steven!
hi! this is the formula i use for my habit tracker, it does exactly the thing you want floor(1000 * (toNumber(prop("Croquis")) + toNumber(prop("Journal")) + toNumber(prop("Chores")) + toNumber(prop("Exercise")) + toNumber(prop("Anki")) ) / 5) / 1000 just change the properties to yours, and replace 5 with the amount of properties you have to check. have a great day! :D 💖
@@tk14712 thanks for this!! It ended up looking like this for mine (I changed the 1000 into 100 so that there's no decimal) floor(100 * (toNumber(prop("Session 1")) + toNumber(prop("Gesture Drawing")) + toNumber(prop("Finish Project?"))
) / 3) / 100 Also remember to change 'Number format' to percent and 'Show as' to bar in the settings :)
i'm no programmer i just did it like this: sum(if(prop("Session 1"), 1, 0) + if(prop("Session 2"), 1, 0) + if(prop("Session 3"), 1, 0) + if(prop("Session 4"), 1, 0))/4 - worked for me, but it's probably redundant :)
Note: The following code is made for the notion template Shay made, you will need to replace the prop with your own later. First create a new property and name it whatever you want, set its type to *formula*, edit and use the following code in it: sum( if(empty(prop("Session 1")), 0, 1), if(empty(prop("Gesture Drawing")), 0, 1), if(empty(prop("Finish Project?")), 0, 1), ) / 3 This formula checks for the columns that are checked and considers them alone while calculating the percentage of tasks completed during the day. It assigns the value “1” to checked items and “0” to the unchecked ones. Next, it adds all “1”s and divides the sum by *3* to get the average You want to then edit the formula and select its number format as "Percent" and its view mode as "Bar". *You could also try , switching the bar color, change its view into a ring or hide the percentage number for example to suit your own preferences, after you're satisfies with how it looks its done! :D*
Gosh it’s so crazy how many variables go into trying to make good art and art you enjoy while also not burning out it’s a bit overwhelming,, but it’s great to see you’re back Shay you’re one of the few people who actually make me THINK about my art 😭
You know, I think I'll give this a try. I've been in a weird spot, wanting to do art but no real... direction or drive, so maybe this will help me set some goals and stick to them. I am a HUGE fan of ticking boxes. It feels the same as getting a sticker for being good when you're a kid, lol. Thank you so much for sharing this! Also...-runs in, hugs your squish-chicken, and runs back out-
Is it possible that you could make a body/anatomy tutorial? Or maybe a tutorial on how to colour using watercolour (Paints in general) I've been really struggling with anatomy and colouring, and I'm really inspired by your art? ^^
I'll add it to my video ideas list! I would love to share more about my process, but I do have some tutorials already up on my channel if you want to watch those!
Ok, trying this one out! I've tried multiple art trackers, but this daily one with journal entries and the ability to see images that you upload of art that you do that day, could really scratch my brain right and get me to do stuff. I've had very big issues in the last months with just *starting* because of an art burnout. Thank you sooo so much for sharing, I really hope this is the one!
Now THIS is what I mean by motivation tips! I haven't been motivated to draw and/or write for the past 5 months but this whole video of tips, tricks, and those websites along with the free template has gave me a whole new motivation I have never had before in my journey! Thank you for another great video Shay, this video has motivated me and others!! =]
I think it's good to schedule break days. Cuz while it's important to draw consistently, not giving yourself a break can burn yourself out. (I'm still watching the vid so idk if Shay has said that or not yet.)
YES that is an important thing to remember! and something that I talk about a lot in this video : th-cam.com/video/iNToW6SRMJg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0t80GmWZrZJnKC_m
its honestly how true it is how like organizing could make you draw more because you're just no longer overwhelmed in your brain and seeing on paper its just like the biggest oh moment I get everytime
exactly!! free's up so much of the mental space of remembering ideas, inspirations, references. then that room can actually be focused on the act of drawing and creating itself!
with out you I would NEVER have ever started working on my story thank you so much for letting me and others know about the cool aps and stuff thank you so much !
I've been away from art for 2 years, started getting back into it recently with a mindset of "just have fun with it." I got burnt out from being a perfectionist and it's crazy how much I missed it.
WELCOME BACK SHAY!!! I hope your moving is going well. I hope your break from making videos is going well! I missed your videos and peppy voice. I hope your having a wonderful summer.❤
omg thank you so much! I'm so happy to be back and sharing more videos and new art again! thank you for the warm welcome back, I hope you are having a wonderful summer as well
I will absolutely try using notion to try and get my art habits because I have been struggling for years to actually sit down for certain times and also drawing on the daily. I repeatedly have tried to draw daily on my own and it almost never worked but I am also someone who loves to see little trackers fill up and I think this is really what I need to help me grow with my art!! Thank you for another amazing video Shay!!!!❣❣❣❣
thank you for this, that's super helpful! i've been looking for something to keep a better track of my art projects and all the things i need to complete for my portfolio, so this is literally godsend.
Wow, this is a fantastic approach! Habit tracking can really transform the way we work on our art. It’s amazing how small, consistent efforts can lead to big improvements over time. I’m definitely going to start using this technique to stay motivated and track my progress. Thanks for sharing such an insightful tip!
I'm a writer and lately I've been watching art videos on studies and practicing to inspire me to create a writing practice/studies habit, and I have to say, your videos are some of the best ones on the theme 🩷 Practicing writing sometimes feels like real high stakes and I'm trying to break it into just quick character, descriptions, plot, scenes, dialogues and themes studies, so I know no one's gonna read it and it's just to understand those concepts better and not writing something that has to be good, just that helps me get better for my bigger projects. And I'll definitely be using this template to practice my writing and improve. I love your videos and your art style feels so... I don't know how to explain it, but soft and the rendering is so pleasant and I love your work and your videos, this one will help more artists than you know 🩷🩷🩷
Thank you for this video and for making this excellent notion template. I've just plugged in my projects, changed the art and made custom tags for focus and status! Thank you again.
felt the need to come back to this video and thank u for the Milanotes recomendation lol I was really skeptical of it since most digital boards tend to be more hassle than it's worth but it's now a Must-Do in my process either to keep track of my art process or to keep my studies and inspo in their own tidy place. it genuinely helped me clear my head and i'm motivated/inspired a lot more frequently
OMG this is what i NEED! i recently really motivated by my schedule because my ADHD keep make me forgetting everything if i am not look at it and even with the big board that i placed in my room i keep distracted every single time either to social media or scrolling thru references. This will help me alot thanks!!
Seeing your calendar and gallery was really amazing, and I feel like having this feels motivating. I tried making an artwork tracker in Notion when I saw your video about drawing every day but I didn't finish building it. I have an art ideas database in Notion, but don't have an art tracker yet. I'm still learning to be productive without burning out and overwhelming myself, and so I'll try this art tracker to see where I'm at in my skill, have art goals, and see the progress I made. Thank you for this video and for sharing this art tracker Shay.
Thank you so much for this video!! Getting into art again as more of a hobby for myself but…there is so much to start in art. This will make it more organised thank you so much ❤
Thank you for this!!! I’ve been on a mental health journey and I’m finally starting to feel up to doing the things I love again but I’m wanting to find ways to organize and encourage my progress. I’ll definitely try to give a system like this a try!
I've been a milonote user for a few months and I can vouch for how much its helped me organise my references and moodboards for my projects. As someone who struggles with focus on one idea at a time and visualise my project progress, this video is the universe telling me that I need to give Notion another chance clearly. Also unrelated to the topic of the video but the visual and sound editing in this video is really great and I think will really improve the quality of videos going forward!
so happy you've been enjoying milanote! notion DEFINITELY has a huge learning curve, and it took me about a year to slowly learn it overtime (I found it too overwhelming to just sit down and learn everything). I recommend slowly building up how you use Notion, maybe just have a page for random notes, one page for a to-do list, keep it super simple! then start experimenting with more complicated databases and integrations. you got this, it is sooo worth it once everything clicks! ALSO another alternative could be X-tiles! I haven't used it personally, but I have seen a lot of creators use it in place of notion, or integrated with notion. AND THANK YOU! I am so proud of my new editor Steven. He is truly elevating my videos to a better quality, AND this was his first ever edited video??? he's the best
this couldn’t have come at a better time thank you so much for this template! going into my senior year of college and starting my capstone has me super frazzled so this will be nice to organize my thoughts
AWESOME! remember to start small, especially with notion, so that you don't get too overwhelmed and give up. it took me over a year to understand how I want to use notion. it was too overwhelming to learn all of the notion tricks at once in one sitting, so i took on a more explorative slow approach and now I use it for almost everything and feel comfortable doing so! you got this
Hi! I am actually happy that i am writing a comment to you And truly your art is amazing which all your realistic art doodles are adorable At first when i see normal realism drawings i would not be interested because there weren't that a catch of an eye but days passed and saw people INCLUDING YOU making realistic doodles and sketches which are beautiful and colourful plus with your very own art style and wishing to improve little of it at least I honestly saw one of your TH-cam shorts or reels ( i don't know what to call them honestly) which talked about perfectionism like were any artist must make the PERFECT sketches, doodles , portraits and anything where EVERY detail must be accurate which honestly i have been that for along time (even though I am still a teen) But I truly didn't like where i rip every single paper in a sketchbook, then i saw your short/reel which was amazing and helped me so much because you are an amazing addition to that your a special person! Which I really encourage you to tell others notes or a small alarms to our art journey to be better artists where we are able to draw for fun with flexibility and relaxation Sorry for the long comment😅 i even what to comment to you on your video which a little recent to read it And i hope you have a good day!😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OMG TY FOR THIS!!! I love your videos and the entire vibe you give off!! I find that taking really small steps really helps! Especially for neurodivergent people who struggle with transitioning to one thing to another or starting things! Your videos are a huge comfort for me and I’m so glad you make content!!! this is sorta unrelated but I wanna make bill and saul plushies so bad grrrr (i won’t if you’re uncomfy with it! I just love making my hyperfixations into plushies!!)
@@sketchesofshay i logged in the drawings i’ve done in the past week (been inspired to pick up drawing everyday after watching your other video lol) and it’s so fun!! the calendar is already satisfying to look at after just one week! looking forward to your next video :)
This was so well timed! I was trying to do something similar but I kinda tied myself up in knots trying to figure it out so thank you for doing this! I'm gonna check out the template now!
I've been wanting to make a project tracker!!! Thanks for this, i might still make my own down the line if this doesn't work for me but I'm super grateful for your work on this!!!
yay! so happy this can be a jumping off point for you to design something that's more specific to you! I am a huge advocate of customizing things and making them your own, when you do that you are way more likely to make it stick into your routine!
With some help from the other comments (& reddit) I figured out the formula part for the properties if you don't want the decimals! With the exact template in the video the formula would be: round(sum(if(prop("Session 1"), 1, 0) + if(prop("Gesture Drawing"), 1, 0) + if(prop("Finish Project?"), 1, 0) )/3*100)/100 This is for if you want your percentage to be a whole number (which makes it look cleaner), eg: instead of 66.6666666667%, you now have ✨67%✨. Probably doesn't matter that much but I hope it helps! Also thank you so much for the video Shay, it really inspired me to be consistent with my drawing practise ❤
I like to use finch since it also is mental health focused and you gain stuff and raise birds while helping your bird develop a personality! It is 50$ a year but it’s really helped me! I have it set that I have to draw 2 times a day
Milanote looks like exactly what I need for organizing references/inspiration! I hate having all those images scattered across different tabs and having to sift through that while drawing
sorry if you’ve answered this before but may i know how you keep your drawings in your sketchbook from smudging? if you do the ol’ fixatiff spray then can you share the brand please? 😭
Don’t know if you ever got the Notion formula fixed but I make complex Notion databases & templates so can help out 😊 I’m published in the Notion gallery if you want to make sure I’m a real person 😂
I’m someone who does random art as well while not improving. However I found Notion way too complicated and overwhelming and time consuming. If you have time could you just type out the steps you do in a comment?? Like “gather ideas” , “what I need to study” something like that? Cuz I find this really confusing
WHY IS IT ALREADY NIGHT WHEHRE I LIVE😭😭😭 When you post, or when you don't post, I love to put on your videos while drawing and now I just want to sit and draw but I also want to sleep and ыыыааыххыы(((
Hi !! For the progress formula, I usually use this for my trackers, i tried it out on your template and it works : ((toNumber(Session1))+(toNumber(GestureDrawing))+(toNumber(Finish Project?)))/3 I just see an issue that I dont really know how to fix, but since its a percentage and theres 3 options, it will shows 33,33333333%, i dont know how to make it show only 33% I dont know if this is the most efficient way to do it but it works for me at least :D Thanks for this amazing video and templates !! Cant wait to use it ദി꒰˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵꒱ა˖⁺‧₊˚
In case someone wants to add more or less checkboxes per day, here's how to edit the formula : ((toNumber(name of checkbox)) + ... )/number of checkboxes in total
Heyy, I'm very much new to notion and I don't know my way around it at all. I've tried to open up and use Shay's template but it's not working for me. Do you know how I can use her template?? :(
@@strayfroggo ive got you, here’s how to get it !! I will explain for the desktop app because this is what i use but i guess it’s very similar for the phone app, i will also recommand getting the app and create your account before following the steps !! :D When you click the link on the description a new tab with the template open, and theres few icon on the top right, you wanna click on the second one, the two pages that says duplicate. The app will open, it asks you to choose the workspace, you select yours and click on « add » and thats it !! i hope that was clear, if it wasn’t please don’t hesitate to ask, or if you need anything else ! Happy drawings ദി꒰˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵꒱ა˖⁺‧₊˚
I am starting out as an artist, but my drawing skills needs improvement. I am currently in college for a BA in Game art and design, what advice would you give?
definitely yes! We will be opening my sticker club sometime this fall, I will have a bunch of updates there as well as set up an email newsletter reminder too!
Would it be possible to get the actual code of the template? I use a similar program called Obsidian which can also use templates to format things, but I have to input it in as code.
Maybe I'm missing something, but does anyone know how to adopt this template? For some reason, when I'm on the template page, it thinks I'm logged out no matter what browser I open it in or how many times I log in. And the template is not searchable, so I can't adopt it that way. How do I get thing? xD In any case, this is a great video! Grateful for the advice and guidance as always! ^^
this is so perfect bc ive been using notion for years and had no idea it had these capabilities...tho i cant seem to import it from the link in the desc :( it doesnt let me log in or anything from that page!
Hii this tutorial was super helpful! BUT im tryna use the template and it isn't adding to my notion T-T. i clicked the link and it isn't allowing me to add it to my personal notion. Idk what im doing wrong
make sure you are already logged into notion in your browser, and make sure you are clicking the duplicate button in the the upper right hand corner! You could also check if you need to update notion too
it may just be your internet speed or computer speed! it make take a little longer to duplicate the template into your own notion if your notion is already kinda full ?
anyone know how to do notion formulas??? pls help
also it's been a while since I've posted, but it would have been an even longer wait if not for Steven joining the editing and creative direction of this channel! so excited and relieved to have an amazing person and artist helping me with videos and community events, can't wait to share more of what we are planning! big thank you to Steven!
hi! this is the formula i use for my habit tracker, it does exactly the thing you want
floor(1000 *
(toNumber(prop("Croquis")) +
toNumber(prop("Journal")) +
toNumber(prop("Chores")) +
toNumber(prop("Exercise")) +
toNumber(prop("Anki"))

just change the properties to yours, and replace 5 with the amount of properties you have to check. have a great day! :D 💖

floor(100 *

Note: The following code is made for the notion template Shay made, you will need to replace the prop with your own later. First create a new property and name it whatever you want, set its type to *formula*, edit and use the following code in it:

At first when i see normal realism drawings i would not be interested because there weren't that a catch of an eye but days passed and saw people INCLUDING YOU making realistic doodles and sketches which are beautiful and colourful plus with your very own art style and wishing to improve little of it at least
I honestly saw one of your TH-cam shorts or reels ( i don't know what to call them honestly) which talked about perfectionism like were any artist must make the PERFECT sketches, doodles , portraits and anything where EVERY detail must be accurate which honestly i have been that for along time (even though I am still a teen)
But I truly didn't like where i rip every single paper in a sketchbook, then i saw your short/reel which was amazing and helped me so much because you are an amazing addition to that your a special person!
Which I really encourage you to tell others notes or a small alarms to our art journey to be better artists where we are able to draw for fun with flexibility and relaxation
Sorry for the long comment😅
i even what to comment to you on your video which a little recent to read it
And i hope you have a good day!😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OMG TY FOR THIS!!! I love your videos and the entire vibe you give off!! I find that taking really small steps really helps! Especially for neurodivergent people who struggle with transitioning to one thing to another or starting things! Your videos are a huge comfort for me and I’m so glad you make content!!!
this is sorta unrelated but I wanna make bill and saul plushies so bad grrrr (i won’t if you’re uncomfy with it! I just love making my hyperfixations into plushies!!)
so happy that my videos help you!
I was on the verge to go: "SKETCHES OF SHAY PLEASE DROP ANOTHER VIDEO AND MY LIFE IS YOURSS"
AEEEE! Shay voltou finalmente😭😭😭senti muita falta dos seus videos ❤
I DREAMED OF TIMES LIKE THIS, SHAY IS BACK!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤
actually thank you so much i’m joining your art army now 🐥🫡
i've been binge watching your videos recently and this came at the perfect time! thank you so much for sharing this template!!
omg thank you so much for watching my videos! i really hope the template helps!
@@sketchesofshay i logged in the drawings i’ve done in the past week (been inspired to pick up drawing everyday after watching your other video lol) and it’s so fun!! the calendar is already satisfying to look at after just one week! looking forward to your next video :)
This is so incredibly useful thank you sm!!! Can't wait to try it out :D
BABE WAKE UP SHAY POSTED
Yay steven!! Glad to see you back shay!! You have the most relaxing and helpful videos ❤ just try bot to push yourself so hard this time ❤❤❤
thank you so much for the support
Your backkkkk!! Horrayyyy 🎉🎉 finaly can see my favorite artisttt
so sweet! I am so happy to be back!
I don't use my laptop very much. But this is useful, I think I can try and write this down on my notebook. Thank you so much for making this video! 😊
I loved that video so much! Am really excited to experiment with the habit tracker. Thank you :)
you’re so welcome! I hope it helps!
woah you're crazy organised 😍
me trying to focus on the notion and taking in all the information:
shay’s keyboard clicking: ✨
yay!! I hope it helps
@@sketchesofshay it totally did, thank youuuu!
this is so helpful im shook like HUHHH like thank you so much ill be using this every week!!
This was so well timed! I was trying to do something similar but I kinda tied myself up in knots trying to figure it out so thank you for doing this! I'm gonna check out the template now!
awesome! I really hope it helps you
I've been wanting to make a project tracker!!! Thanks for this, i might still make my own down the line if this doesn't work for me but I'm super grateful for your work on this!!!
yay! so happy this can be a jumping off point for you to design something that's more specific to you! I am a huge advocate of customizing things and making them your own, when you do that you are way more likely to make it stick into your routine!
gah thank you so much for making this template!! It's super helpful and milanote is amazing
With some help from the other comments (& reddit) I figured out the formula part for the properties if you don't want the decimals! With the exact template in the video the formula would be:
round(sum(if(prop("Session 1"), 1, 0) + if(prop("Gesture Drawing"), 1, 0) + if(prop("Finish Project?"), 1, 0) )/3*100)/100
This is for if you want your percentage to be a whole number (which makes it look cleaner), eg: instead of 66.6666666667%, you now have ✨67%✨.
Probably doesn't matter that much but I hope it helps! Also thank you so much for the video Shay, it really inspired me to be consistent with my drawing practise ❤
Literally ran to go text my friend “WAKE UP SHAY POSTED”!! Glad you’re back :)))
Love you shay!
I like to use finch since it also is mental health focused and you gain stuff and raise birds while helping your bird develop a personality! It is 50$ a year but it’s really helped me! I have it set that I have to draw 2 times a day
that's awesome! so happy that you found something that works for you and gets you drawing more!
Ooooh yessss!!!!!! Missed you Shayyyy!!!!
Milanote looks like exactly what I need for organizing references/inspiration! I hate having all those images scattered across different tabs and having to sift through that while drawing
it's really great! I have been using for the past couple of months and it's seriously been a game changer in actually finishing projects !
sorry if you’ve answered this before but may i know how you keep your drawings in your sketchbook from smudging? if you do the ol’ fixatiff spray then can you share the brand please? 😭
LETS GOOO NEW UPLOAD
woooooowwww thanksss !!! def gonna try using this
This is good knowledge
This is an amazing video. I loved it :)
hii is there any way to make notion show multiple images per journal entry in the gallery section? i cant figure it out lol
Don’t know if you ever got the Notion formula fixed but I make complex Notion databases & templates so can help out 😊
I’m published in the Notion gallery if you want to make sure I’m a real person 😂
Your back yey ❤🎉
I GOTTA LOCK IN SOO BAD
WE'RE SO BACKKKK
I’m someone who does random art as well while not improving. However I found Notion way too complicated and overwhelming and time consuming.
If you have time could you just type out the steps you do in a comment?? Like “gather ideas” , “what I need to study” something like that? Cuz I find this really confusing
WHY IS IT ALREADY NIGHT WHEHRE I LIVE😭😭😭 When you post, or when you don't post, I love to put on your videos while drawing and now I just want to sit and draw but I also want to sleep and ыыыааыххыы(((
Thank you 😮
Hi !! For the progress formula, I usually use this for my trackers, i tried it out on your template and it works :
((toNumber(Session1))+(toNumber(GestureDrawing))+(toNumber(Finish Project?)))/3
I just see an issue that I dont really know how to fix, but since its a percentage and theres 3 options, it will shows 33,33333333%, i dont know how to make it show only 33%
I dont know if this is the most efficient way to do it but it works for me at least :D
Thanks for this amazing video and templates !! Cant wait to use it ദി꒰˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵꒱ა˖⁺‧₊˚
In case someone wants to add more or less checkboxes per day, here's how to edit the formula :
((toNumber(name of checkbox)) + ... )/number of checkboxes in total
Heyy, I'm very much new to notion and I don't know my way around it at all. I've tried to open up and use Shay's template but it's not working for me. Do you know how I can use her template?? :(
@@strayfroggo Hi !! Are you able to import the template into your account or this is what you need help with ?
@@maliatomic yep, that's what I need help with!! I can view her template but I'm unable to use it on my account or even edit it :0
@@strayfroggo ive got you, here’s how to get it !! I will explain for the desktop app because this is what i use but i guess it’s very similar for the phone app, i will also recommand getting the app and create your account before following the steps !! :D
When you click the link on the description a new tab with the template open, and theres few icon on the top right, you wanna click on the second one, the two pages that says duplicate. The app will open, it asks you to choose the workspace, you select yours and click on « add » and thats it !!
i hope that was clear, if it wasn’t please don’t hesitate to ask, or if you need anything else ! Happy drawings ദി꒰˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵꒱ა˖⁺‧₊˚
Whenever I see "Captain's Log" I think of Star Trek lol.
🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔
any recommendations from ADHD buddies?
im having trouble understanding how to add the URL of a bigger project from the Quest Tracker to the Quest Log
How do you link to a project in the quest log ?
hii, uh, can some1 explain to me how to make the template my own? like, with my account logged in and stuff... sorryyy
I want that chicken!!!!
hii!
Hello!
I need to work on this aswell. I started an art channel recently, do you have any tips on video and editing artwork? Also great vid! Very helpful^^
I have an entire video about making art youtube videos here! th-cam.com/video/Us1ttnJso6w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jn0RpLHCIj1z8kon
@@sketchesofshay Tysm^^
There's a nugget in me that really loves trackers/planners etc but I never keep up with them 😅
I forget to fill mine out too sometime! in my experience, setting an alarm every evening to fill it out really helps to keep me consistent!
I am starting out as an artist, but my drawing skills needs improvement. I am currently in college for a BA in Game art and design, what advice would you give?
is milanote on that ipad as well? or only computers?
I’m sorry if it seems like I’m bothering you with this, but will I’m assuming you’ll put your sticker shop on your community updates? 😮❤
definitely yes! We will be opening my sticker club sometime this fall, I will have a bunch of updates there as well as set up an email newsletter reminder too!
Would it be possible to get the actual code of the template? I use a similar program called Obsidian which can also use templates to format things, but I have to input it in as code.
thank you for the recommendation!
Maybe I'm missing something, but does anyone know how to adopt this template? For some reason, when I'm on the template page, it thinks I'm logged out no matter what browser I open it in or how many times I log in. And the template is not searchable, so I can't adopt it that way. How do I get thing? xD
In any case, this is a great video! Grateful for the advice and guidance as always! ^^
Im really confused…how do you insert the template into notion?
this is so perfect bc ive been using notion for years and had no idea it had these capabilities...tho i cant seem to import it from the link in the desc :( it doesnt let me log in or anything from that page!
make sure you click the duplicate button in the upper right hand corner so it can be imported into your own notion!
Hii this tutorial was super helpful! BUT im tryna use the template and it isn't adding to my notion T-T.
i clicked the link and it isn't allowing me to add it to my personal notion. Idk what im doing wrong
make sure you are already logged into notion in your browser, and make sure you are clicking the duplicate button in the the upper right hand corner! You could also check if you need to update notion too
@@sketchesofshay aaaa thank you so much
haaay the progress bar is showing in blank for me!!!! i dont know if its because of dark mode or not but no percentage is being shown D:
checkjed if it was bc of light mode or not but thats not the case D:
the progress bar won't show until you enter a number! try adding a random number and the bar and percentage should show up!
@@sketchesofshay thanl you so kuch!! got it
Is it normal for Notion to have really long load times? Tried duplicated a simple table and it's struggling.
it may just be your internet speed or computer speed! it make take a little longer to duplicate the template into your own notion if your notion is already kinda full ?
:D
Anyone else having the issue where they cant interact with any of the boxes or stuff?
Hii Shay, I love your videos
idk if you missed them but my past couple of videos feature fully finished digital paintings (most of them have multiple too)!
Is this an advertisement /lh
Nope! Just sharing the way I track my habits :)
Chimkim
i mean get it if notion is sponsoring you but sad to see art channels becoming notion tutorials more than art.
they’re not sponsoring me, I just want to share the tools that have helped me :)
