Notion and Notion Calendar

Notion and Notion Calendar

If you're anything like me, you're juggling home, work, and nonprofit board emails. Notion allows you to bring your calendar data into Notion Calendar to give you a unified view of everything going on in your life.

To sign up for Notion, go to https://www.notion.so/ and sign up for a free account. It's a great note-taking system, but it’s so much more than that.

Within a Notion note, you just click the forward slash / to insert a table, H3 Heading, or leverage integrations with Google Drive, Figma, Loom, Slack, OneDrive, and many more. Once signed up, you can access https://www.notion.so from your desktop, mobile, and then clicking Calendar, or by going straight to the calendar URL: https://calendar.notion.so/

There’s a desktop version you can download also:
