Thanks for the tips Thomas! I’ve found that you can also change the default calendar by simply left clicking the color square next to the name instead of having to right click and select the option in the drop down menu. Way faster🙌

I found hitting "Open in Calendar View" on a linked database allows it to show up in Notion Calendar without needing to create a calendar database view

[DaniilOskolkov]

The first tip is juuuust the right thing I was looking for. Now I can keep the simplicity of tags (like "06:30 - 14:30"), but at the same time show it as an event on my calendar with the help of formula. Brilliant! Thanks Thomas, I knew I could find the answer from you!

Thank you for this, you first video was very helpful and this just gets better. I live on notion calendar all day. Game changer

[Hermetic]

If you are adding the calendar view in your Tasks master database in order to display tasks in Notion Calendar, you should add a filter for it to show only those tasks that are not in the completed group. That way, when you complete them in Notion, they will disappear from your calendar since they are done. 🙂

Thank you for addressing linking Notes & Tasks with calendar. Isn't the most elegant solution on the notes but, this still helps organizing meeting notes without much manual work. Seriously hoping Notion takes your suggestions to heart and makes the improvements.

15:10 You can also just hit the two facing up and down arrows at the top left to collapse the All Day Events Section. Not a keyboard shortcut, but still faster than using the search :)

You're just my favorite Notion resource! Thanks so much for being a master teacher and for having great speaking skills (which is underrated). Sometimes I can only take so many uhms, erms, and stammers before I just can't take it. Cheers mate! 🥳

[amycallaghan]

I don’t normally comment on videos but I had to say thank you! These are really excellent tips! More videos like this please 👏🏻

[rayganrambles]

Thanks for this video! I recently switched to Thunderbird for my work email and was really struggling with its calendar app. I really like the ability to drag stuff from the all day to the timeline and have it add the times on the task automatically.

11:45 cool to mention that you can also press a number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5... up to 9) to show that number of days in the calendar UI

[untilop]

Thank you <3 thanks to your videos I am always able to step up my Notion Game :)

[Augusto_Caten]

Amazing, just bought ultimate brain, hard to start and transfer all I have to there, but its starting to pay off and long term its 10000% worth it.

[travis_approved]

12:24 on this note it would be cool if you could set multiple time frames and switch between them with individual hot keys (maybe just the number row). Having a hot key for mon-fri work hours and another for a 2 week pay period for example could be useful!

[profesor_leon]

Any video on how to use this calendar with ultimate brain dates already in projects? Or are they already working and I am missing something ? I have a bunch of due dates in UB tasks and pages and not showing in notion calendar 😢

[stephanievandebunt]

Thank you for both of these! Looking forward to that Pokemon video, yes please

[Nadworks-cb]

Great video!
Too bad Notion decided to use region-spiecific keyboard shortcuts. I'm using a UK keyboard and am not sure how to do that "back tick" shortcut for making the left calendar sidebar disappear.

I've been using Notion Calendar on mobile sometimes. Planning my days when remote. My tasks are scheduled as "all day" events when I create them. It is fine on a computer, but mobile version doesn't allow you to tap and drag events to the time slot you want them scheduled for. Please update the mobile app for this!

[AdrianMcD]

Hi, Is there a way to have multi-day events taken from a database? i have a database that tracks staff annual leave. it would be great if it could pull this through to the calendar but I can't see a way of doing this. it only pulls through the first day.

[ourfavoritefinds]

Is there a way to integrate the calendar into the Home page of my actual Notion?
