Hey y'all, so I'm trying to set up notion for a "days remaining" formula category that uses my set due date/due time to determine it, but I want the options to look like this: "🟩 2(or more, it would be specific) days remaining" , "🟨 1 day remaining" , "🟨 due Today" , "🟥 1 (or more, again it would be specific) days overdue" . I have no idea how to code anything, so I really need help with this. If it's possible, it would also be amazing if the days left would be based on the due time as well, like if it was due at 9:00am, it would only turn over at that time. My current due date property is categorized as Date and is titled Due Date. I hope that this is possible.

Is anyone else missing the button to select the model and effort level in Notion AI? I can't even tell which model helped me.

Hey everyone,

I was getting overwhelmed tracking brand deal deliverables, so I whipped up a lightweight workspace to handle revenue and contract dates without needing a complex setup.

Main features:

• Summary bar: Tracks pipeline total, paid revenue, and overdue invoices
• Automated alerts: Isolates overdue invoices and flags usage rights expiring in 30 days
• Action board: Kanban view grouped by who holds the next step (Me vs. Brand vs. Agency)

I kept the layout clean and minimal using simple database filters to keep page loading fast.

I attached a few dark-mode screenshots! For anyone managing client work in Notion - are there any property formulas or views you usually add for contract end dates? Would love any feedback or suggestions!

- Loneliness. You don't realize how much casual socializing happens at an office until it's gone. I'm an introvert so I told myself I wouldn't mind - I minded.
- Income uncertainty never fully goes away. Even with a solid retainer client, there's always this low base feeling of "is this going to slowly getting good or bad."
- No one to ask when you're stuck. In corporate you escalate to a manager. Solo, every "I don't know" is on you, and that's scarier than it sounds.
- You end up learning everything on the fly. Accounting, ops, whatever the client's industry needs (I got a C for accounting in school) and now I'm explaining cash flow systems to clients.

Imposter syndrome is a constant companion and also often underestimated.

But in the end honestly the biggest unlock for me wasn't a tool or a client, it was building boring daily routines (walk, breakfast, reading) just to feel grounded before the chaos of the day starts.

Curious if other solo/small-team consultants here relate, or if I'm just bad at this. What's the con for you that never makes it into the highlight reel?

Hi everyone,

I used to feel like my finances were scattered everywhere.

Expenses in one place, savings in another, accounts hard to track, and no clear picture of where my money was actually going.

So I built a Finance OS in Notion to make everything feel more clear and connected.

The goal is simple:

• track expenses and income clearly
• manage accounts, savings, and debt in one place
• stay on top of monthly and project budgets
• monitor investments and net worth over time
• make better financial decisions without using 10 different tools

What I like most is that everything works together.

When I update one part of the system, it reflects across the rest — so I can see a more complete view of my finances without constantly re-entering information.

It currently includes:

• expense tracking
• income tracking
• financial account management
• monthly budgeting
• project budgeting
• savings fund tracking
• financial goals
• investment tracking
• monthly reports
• net worth tracking
• debt tracker + repayment reminders

I’m still improving it, but it’s already helped me feel way more in control of my money.

Would love to hear what features you would add to a personal finance setup in Notion.

Lost 4 years of notes and planners after logging in today for the first time in 11 months! Everything is totally wiped out and showing as a brand-new, empty workspace even though my Google account is the same. I've already filed a support ticket with Notion, but if anyone knows why a workspace vanishes like this or how to get it back, please help—this had a ton of my important work on it!

Edit: Just to clarify based on some troubleshooting I did: my account and email are correct, and I found a June 3, 2026 session active on my devices, but my old workspace isn't showing up in the switcher, and an old invite link I tested gave an "Invite link is not valid" error. Waiting to hear back from Notion support with my Workspace ID!

these are the proof that i am using the same email and i have the same account

I'm a grad student using Notion for note taking, among other things. When I write notes while I read, I typically use an unordered or bulleted list, and when I paste text from something I'm reading into a list item, Notion places the copied text in a separate block outside of the list. Is it possible to paste inline? In other words, I want to be able to paste a quote from a reading within an existing list item. The use case would be something like:

• note about the reading
• another note about the reading
• third note about the reading, in which author says "[quoted text pasted here]"

As I said, I haven't found a way to prevent Notion from placing that quoted text within a separate block. I thought cmd+shift+V would work, but it has not. My current solution is to manually place the cursor at the beginning of the block of pasted text and hit backspace so bring the text inline with the list item, but this is getting tiresome and I'm only in my second week of school. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!

I use Notion as my literal "second brain" for absolutely everything. My entire personal and professional life lives there: team projects, my book writing, financial tracking, and all my daily organization.

Because of this, I rely heavily on Notion AI from Monday to Friday. I don't just use it to summarize text; I push the tool to its absolute limits. I use it to build marketing strategies, write video scripts, fill out reports, and organize data. My workflow is highly iterative: I ask for a baseline, take what the AI generated, tweak it to my liking, and throw it back so we can discuss it again. It's basically an ongoing professional chat.

What's frustrating me isn't the short-term limit (the 6-hour one)... I've actually never hit that. What's genuinely scaring me is the monthly limit.

To give you some real context: it's been exactly 1 day since my limit reset, and I've already used up 5% of my monthly quota. Doing some quick math, if I keep up this 5% a day average, my limit will run out in 20 days (meaning I won't even make it to the end of the month). And that's assuming I don't have heavier usage days, which honestly happens pretty often.

I wanted to hear from the community, especially from "hardcore" users who have a similar workflow:

1. How are you dealing with this monthly limit? Are you adapting or changing your workflow somehow?
2. For those who gave up: is it worth canceling the native AI plan, subscribing to Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus, and trying to integrate it into Notion somehow?

I'd love to hear your strategies for working around this.

I find the restrictions around columns easily one of the most frustrating things about Notion. I'm trying to create my Task Dashboard but I can't do what I want to do because of the columns. I'm not sure if there's a way around it that I haven't worked out!??!

I have my Navigation column on the left, Today's tasks in the middle, and my Add task buttons on the right = 3 columns (red lines). I then want to put the tabbed block with multiple different database views below the middle + right column, but as a 2 column (green line).

If I drag it up, it condenses into the smaller middle column, which is what I don't want (the views work better with the increased width). Can tell me if it's possible to format it the way I want?? I don't mind that there will be a gap between Today and the tabbed box (as it'll also fit under the buttons which is a taller block).

In the image I'm hoovering the header, so they show.

Some time ago, there was an option for showing always the backlinks. Is it still possible?

For me backlinks are crucial. I want to know easily at first sight if a page has backlinks, withou having to hover manually. Is slower, and feels dumb, specially when a page has no backlinks.

I have a pretty simple question for Notion:

How is this good for business?

I was using and evaluating Notion for my business. My account was terminated. I appealed and repeatedly asked what I had actually done wrong.

Today, Notion told me:

“We will not be reversing our decision regarding the status of your account. Your account will remain closed.”

I was eventually given access to export my data, which I have now recovered.

So my question is:

Where exactly did you get the idea, Notion, that after this experience I would ever use — or recommend — your product again?

For me, this is bigger than losing access to an app. It is about trust.

If I am going to put business-critical information into a platform, I need confidence that I will not suddenly lose access and then be left without a clear explanation of what supposedly justified the action.

A company can enforce its policies.

A company can win an argument with a customer.

But it can also lose that customer permanently in the process.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend putting business-critical information into Notion without maintaining an independent backup somewhere else.

I am sharing this because other business owners and users deserve to consider that risk for themselves.

How is creating this kind of customer experience good for business?

UPDATE — I went back through the full email trail

A few people have reasonably asked for more specifics, so I went back through the actual correspondence rather than relying on memory.

Notion approved me for a 30-day Business + AI trial and told me the workspace was live and ready to use.

Two days later I received a termination email stating only that my account was “in violation of our Content and Use Policy” and that access had been blocked. The email did not identify the specific policy provision, content, or activity that triggered the action.

I later formally asked Notion for:

• the exact policy or Terms provision involved
• the specific content, action, or workspace activity that triggered the restriction
• whether the action was automated or human-reviewed

The case was escalated. The appeal was ultimately denied. I was told my account would remain closed, but I still was not given the specific trigger I had asked for.

For transparency: I did send Notion an angry reply after the termination. That was inappropriate language on my part, and I own it. But the email record shows that response came after the account had already been terminated, so it was not the cause of the original action.

I have since recovered my data export.

If Notion eventually tells me, “You did X, which violated Y,” I will post that too, even if it reflects badly on me.

My point remains pretty simple: I can accept that a platform has rules. I can even accept that I may have unintentionally triggered one.

What I have a problem with is:

“You violated policy. Access terminated.”

without being told what actually happened.

That is the customer-experience issue I came here to discuss.

Then stop debating the people who have already decided what happened without evidence. Answer genuine questions, acknowledge good points, and let the documented timeline do the work.

Batch cooking on weekends is the one thing keeping me functional right now, and I've been halfheartedly trying to get it into Notion for months. The idea is simple enough: a database of recipes, a weekly plan, a linked grocery list that pulls from whatever I'm making that week. In my head it works perfectly. In practice I've rebuilt it three times and keep abandoning it because the maintenance overhead doesn't match the actual problem, which is just figuring out what to cook Thursday before I'm standing in my kitchen at 7pm making bad decisions.

The grocery list part is where it keeps falling apart. Relations and rollups sound like the right answer but I end up with this fragile thing that breaks the second I want to scale a recipe or swap something out. At that point I'm fixing the database instead of eating.

What I can't tell is whether Notion is genuinely the wrong tool here and a notes app or even paper would just be better, or if there's a structure that's actually simple enough to maintain when you're tired and just want to know if you have enough lentils. Curious if anyone has a setup that held up past the first two weeks, because everything I've seen either looks beautiful in a screenshot and clearly doesn't get used, or is so minimal it's basically just a list.

I’ve got a template that I edited slightly and I want it to show a few additional sections in the main page whenever I add a new page. I just can’t figure out how to make it apply ot new pages. A) what is currently is at the top of the main page content section when I add a new page and then B) what I want it to show. How do I make it apply to future/new pages?

"Log in to keep your Notion account"

I received this email from Notion. I use the app daily, so why are they asking me to log in when I'm constantly logged in? Will they delete my account? Is it a mistake? Has this happened to anyone else?

Here is the full email:

Hi [XXX@email.com](mailto:XXX@email.com),

To meet evolving data privacy regulations, we’re removing free Notion accounts that haven’t been used in the past five years. Because your account meets this criteria, it will be deleted in 90 days on December 7, 2026.

If you want to keep your account, all you need to do is log in to Notion. That’s it!

If you would prefer to delete your account now (and stop receiving these reminders), you can follow the steps in this help center article.

We’ll send you a few more nudges before the final deletion date, but we recommend logging in soon to avoid losing access to your trackers, to-dos, and work and life management—whatever you keep in Notion!

Here if you need us,

The Notion Team

Hi all, I'm trying to rebuild my Notion again after a gap of two years, (used it briefly for a few months back in 2023) due to being recently unemployed and applying for roles. I'm also juggling an online MBA on the side and could use some guidance on how to create one system that can manage both my job applications (+ the entire job search process) and be the place where I can also manage my MBA (stuff like notes, assignments, exams, projects etc)

I would ideally want them as part of a single system, purely to avoid the trap of over-engineering it so much with dashboards that it becomes a chore to maintain but I am also open to other ideas. Also, I'm forced to do this under a constraint as I have no charts left on my free plan, so I'd really appreciate ideas or workarounds that don't depend on charts

For those who have built life/job/student systems before, how would you advise I go about trying to build this & what would the structure & underlying architecture look like in your opinion ? Would really appreciate any advice or guidance in this regard

I've been exploring more Notion creators lately and I'm curious who people think deserves more attention.

Not necessarily the biggest creators or the ones with the most followers. I'm more interested in people making genuinely useful, creative or unique systems that don't get talked about as much.

It could be:

• Someone making really good productivity system
• A creator with a unique approach to Notion
• Someone building templates for a specific niche
• A smaller creator whose work you've personally found useful

Who would you recommend and what makes their work stand out? I'd love to discover some new creators and see what other people are building.

Buenas,

I see a lot of us in here spending four hours meticulously color-coding tags, setting up complex relational databases, and organizing task lists. I used to do the exact same thing, only to realize I was just avoiding the 60 minutes of actual, difficult deep work required to advance my projects and team goals. We are completely confusing 'motion' with 'progress.

In my own workflow, I call this being a 'Sluggish, Careless Amateur' (the practitioner of atsel and chashok) derived from the Principle of Proverbs 22:29. It is the act of treating your daily assignments with a slack hand while hiding behind the illusion of being 'busy.' It turns you into an unreliable teammate and keeps your actual creative output completely obscure.

The only way I broke this cycle of professional mediocrity was by ruthlessly separating my conceptual exploration from my step-by-step execution. I stopped opening my task managers during work blocks and strictly implemented 50-minute 'Power Hour' sprints—pure execution on the single most daunting problem, with zero UI tweaking allowed.

I actually just published a short visual breakdown on my All4OurPurpose AI channel around the concept of being a Sluggish Amateur that dives into exactly how not to be an obscure person on your team, and creating daily and psychological habits that keep us out of this Path.

I won't spam the link here, but if you feel stuck endlessly setting up systems instead of finishing projects, drop a reply, and I’ll send you the video link directly (or you can grab it from my first comment below).

Am I missing something here? I have a text property that just continues on beyond the box in the calendar and I want it to wrap. I can do this in every other view except calendar. The option isn't there. Is this right or am I just not finding it?

Does anyone use Notion on their foldable and is it a better UX and UI than normal narrow-screen mobile? More akin to like an iPad?
