Notion’s NEW Feature: Notion Calendar

Hey everyone 👋, here with somewhat of a New Notion Update, Notion Calendar is here! 🗓️ Of course, researching and understanding new updates is sometimes annoying to do so I’m here to help spread the update and its features!

——————————————————————————

💬 [What’s Notion Calendar]

——————————————————————————

1. 🍋 So, in the New update, Notion Calendar got added. It’s essentially a central control calendar that you can use for ALL of Notion. This is because you can connect multiple calendars from Notion to this one place.

——————————————————————————

📆 [How to use Notion Calendar + Features]

——————————————————————————

1. 🍋 The calendar is connected to Databases, so first type “/database” and click “New Database”

(Now you can customize it to your liking. I recommend setting it up for a calendar like a tasks database)

2. 🍋 Next, type “/calendar” and click on the database that you just created or any other database you want as a calendar.

3. 🍋 Now, click “Open in Calendar” at the top of the calendar database (Its a little hard to see but it should have a red calendar icon to it) (Next, sign in)

4. 🍋 After, go to the left side panel of Notion and click on the eye for your calendar database. This will make sure that it’s enabled in the calendar

5. 🍋 Now it will show the different pages from your database on the calendar.

6. 🍋 If the task or page is in 1 day, then the calendar allows you to increase the length of a task by hovering over the edge and dragging it

(From this, I usually like to timeblock my day (splitting my tasks into time periods throughout the day))

——————————————————————————

📋 [Advanced Notion Calendar Features]

——————————————————————————

1. 🍋 One HUGE feature of Notion Calendar is how you can connect multiple databases to the one calendar

2. 🍋 First, you need 2 different calendar databases in Notion. Then, go back to Notion Calendar

3. 🍋 Now back in the side panel, there should be multiple databases in the list. Now, make sure all the databases are visible. You can then drag and readjust times of BOTH database tasks/pages in the 1 single calendar (Quick Note: The multiple databases show different colors)

4. 🍋 You can also put multiple tasks or pages into the SAME time period. It was just show that they are both maintaining a similar time period

Okay, so you've got Notion Calendar set up, but how do you really make it sing for your specific workflow? I've been diving deeper into its interface, and let me tell you, understanding the different views and how to leverage that powerful sidebar has been a game-changer for my productivity! First off, let's talk about the calendar views. While the default monthly view is great for a broad overview, I find myself switching constantly between the weekly and daily views depending on what I'm doing. For detailed planning and timeblocking (which the original article touched upon!), the weekly view is my absolute go-to. It lets me see my entire week at a glance, and that amazing drag-and-resize feature becomes even more powerful here. I can easily adjust the length of 'Work on Thing 1' or 'Work on Thing 3' to perfectly fit my schedule, making sure I allocate realistic time for each task. If I have a super busy day packed with meetings, I'll switch to the daily view for laser-focused attention. It helps me visualize exactly what's next, preventing overwhelm and missed appointments. Experiment with these views to see which one resonates most with your planning style – it makes a huge difference! Next, let's unlock the full potential of the Notion sidebar interface. It's not just for enabling your databases; it's a command center! I've learned to organize my sidebar to quickly toggle visibility for different projects or personal calendars. For example, I have a 'Work Projects' group and a 'Personal Life' group. When I'm in deep work mode, I can quickly hide my personal calendar to reduce distraction. When it's evening, I might hide work tasks and just see my personal appointments. The article mentioned connecting multiple databases, and the sidebar is where you manage that visibility. Seeing 'Notion Calendar Showcase' and 'Showcase #2' (as shown in some of the initial screenshots) side-by-side with their distinct colors really helps me differentiate between task types at a glance. It's all about making the information you need most accessible at any given moment. Beyond the views and sidebar, the overall Notion Calendar app interface offers some subtle but powerful features. Have you explored the quick add options? Learning keyboard shortcuts for creating new events or navigating between dates can shave off precious seconds throughout your day. And while the default colors for different databases are helpful, I've found that sometimes adjusting my Notion database properties to include more specific tags or project names helps the calendar feel even more intuitive. It’s all about building a system that feels natural to *you*. I used to struggle with keeping my tasks and events in sync, but with Notion Calendar, it truly feels like a central hub. My advice? Don't just set it up and forget it. Play around with it, make it yours, and watch how it transforms your daily planning! I've honestly never felt more on top of my schedule.
