i cannot tell you just how helpful this was - especially showing how to make a template for the weekly agenda. THANK U SO MUCH!!!

This is, by far, the most useful Notion tutorial I've seen. You clearly explain how to do things I've been trying to do. AND you've shown me things I didn't even know were possible and can't wait to try. Thanks for what you do.

[journeysalgado]

I've been going through notion videos for a few weeks now, and I think this is by far the best one. Thank you so much for showing us how you created everything, instead of just showing the finished product. It really helped me understand how it all works.

I’ve watched so many Notion tutorials but by far this was the most useful! I am blown away and I feel like I have to take notes of all of your tips hahaha

[thuylinh]

super helpful, i love how you go straight to the point and touch upon almost everything I'm currently struggling with Notion

[jessicasc]

I like how "straight" you're talking. No unnecessary words or fillers. Really enjoy listening to your super helpful tips! Thanks!

It's so sweet that all the pages provided in the notion templates from Michelle have the little 'lightbulbs' at the bottom of pages so that I know what to do once completed the monthly task. Deserved a thumbs up on your thoughtful! ⭐️💚

[meowmeowpaupau]

Thank you so much, this was by far the most helpful tutorial that I've seen! love your organization and aesthetic, added a dream log to my Notion as well <3

Been so lazy with my notion. I LOVED THIS. THANKYOU!

[alialue]

Just started my notion and of all videos on notion I've watched to this point this is the best BY FAR. Though it's so fast I had to rewatch some parts multiple times :D Thank you so much! This is so helpful!!

[nathaliacal]

I can’t believe that I am now capable of using Notion the way I’ve always wanted! Thank you a thousand times, Michelle!

[chialliyah]

this was the most useful and easy to follow Notion tutorial I've seen. thank you so much ! the templates are amazing 💚

[nikkinguyen]

I've gone through dozens of Notion tutorials but yours is so far the most comprehensive and easy to follow. Amazing job!

To keep the format of "new week" for your archive, instead of dragging it into the toggle cut and copy it into the toggle. The columns will remain the same! I also just made the week a toggle in the template so it saves me a step later. So for the template I followed each step in the video, but made the "week #:Month#-#" into a toggle in the template. Then copy and pasted the days and calendar into the "week #:Month#-#" toggle. That way when I use the template for new week it's already set up and when I want to archive the week I just drag and drop everything and the format stays the same. Just takes out a couple steps from every week. Hope that makes sense!

did this really just inspired me to work on my notion dashboard ang make it more HAHAHAHAHA LMAO THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[salmaelabsi]

Thanks a lot Michelle! I'm a person who struggles with keeping track of things digitally (i prefer writing tasks and lists down in a notebook) but this video really helped and your template is so satisfying and easy to work with. You're amazing! love u loads 💕💕
