    Joined the Notion Movement, loving it so far. I feel way more productive using this as my everything productivity tool. I was really hesitatany because I was really afraid that I would waste more time building things but a lot of the default tempaltes are simple and effective out of the box. I'm hoping to build a template of some sort that someone can leverage later on.
    Side note, I'm having problems using a giphy for the cover on pages. Anyone have nany idea what it could be? Tried the local installed app and the web browswer and nothing displays.

    Hi Chris, being a Notion noob (I know, I was sooo late to the party), I really appreciate your content, I find it very helpful ❤ I'm considering purchasing your Life OS Dashboard template, and just wonder how customizable it is? Can I remove the blocks I don't need without compromising the overall structure of the template? I`m only going to use it for my personal life, personal projects and studies, so I don't need features like CRM, and I probably won't use the habit tracker. I would however like to sync the to do-list with Todoist and the calendar with Gcal via Notion automations. Thanks!

      Hi yes it has been replaced by the new Notion buttons. Just add a new button and use the "inset blocks" option and add in a bullet list. Then just give your button a name and an icon and now if you click the button it'll add a new bullet list. And if you want the outline around it just create a callout box set to the default color, give it a name and make it bold, underlined, and change the color and then just drag and drop the button inside.

    • @chrisnotion
      @chrisnotion  Рік тому

      Yes the only reason you'd upgrade from Notion's free plan is if you want to use Notion automations or add team members, otherwise you can do everything on the free plan. The main difference between the free templates and paid dashboards is that the templates is just a single system solving one problem, whereas the dashboard is multiple systems combined into one large system solving multiple problems. Dashboard = multiple templates, template = 1 system.
