I can’t remember where we were talking about Notion templates and book tracking, so I’m making a new post A while ago, I created a Notion template to help me track my books and be a sort of personal library. The template was very basic at the time, but it isn’t anymore! I wanted to share it with you in my newest video where I give a tour of this template for Notion but also give you the link to duplicate it for yourself
Hrmmmm
I’m super new to Notion (e.g. still in the type 4 things delete page, think about Notion phase). But I like this idea, and immediately thought about making a Crystal inventory page.
So thanks, and now I’m off to search the forums for Notion talk.
I want to do it now but m out of town. I literally just read your post from last year about Drive vs Notion for a grimoire. I like the idea of drive for all of this because I feel like that is a longer term solution to storing an accessing. I can just link everything and have the docs on my drive account and then use slides to make it pretty.
Buuuuuut, Notion is new and shiny to me.
Also, I use Goodnotes on my iPad as the actual
journal aspect of my grimoire a it exports pdfs that have handwriting recognition built in. I know there are others but that is what I use for reading journal articles and research so it seemed simplest.
That said my attempts at hyperlinked pdf journals for the iPad are no more useful than a paper notebook that I scan in with OCR.
Maybe I’ll try to make Notion talk to some existing pdf files in drive.
Me, too. But I’ve been using Notion for about six years now, so I can contribute by saying it’s definitely a keeper! Worth a try, @Litha.
You can make links in your Notion pages to other Notion pages, make Notion pages that serve as Tables of Contents, etc. (You automatically get a contents list in pages that have nested pages, too.) And the search works really well, across all pages and teamspaces. I think it turns out to be an even better long term solution than Drive which just acts like folders for documents.
You can embed all sorts of things in Notion pages, too, including Google documents. Then you can have as many or as little Notion workspaces, teamspaces, pages and nested pages as you want to organise things in whatever way that works for you.
I found One Note and Evernote are comparable but too messy, so I ditched those years ago.
@MeganB and @starborn, I’m convinced and set up an herb inventory table (well I filled in herbs and set up tags).
Today I’m going to try to set up some pages linked to the Spells 8 grimoire pages on my Drive.
Here is my next question and I’m hoping talk have some experience here as my Google searches are taking me to things beyond my current skill set in Notion. Can the tables in Notion be exported if needed? E.g. if I flake in 6 months can I export them to .csv or something and not have to retype data?
Oooo… I love this idea I am not very tech savvy so it’s gonna take some time and aggravation to figure it out! I love the idea of inventory lists and I’m thinking I need to start an electronic grimoire. I need to plan ahead for when my hands don’t work. There will be a lot of tech that I can use when my hands don’t work. On that note I should probably consider ebooks. I prefer paper though so I can make notes and and sticky notes for easy reference.
Can you use the notion app on several devices? I’m guessing you would make an account?
@MeganB@starborn Can I call you for tech support? I’m sure I’ll have lots of questions. It’s a little overwhelming and daunting to me! I don’t know where to start!
You’re welcome! Don’t be fooled – my organizational act is very sporadic lol sometimes it’s a great several weeks where I’m on top of it. Other times, I have stacks of books (like right now) that need to be added to my library
bahaha absolutely, you can! I’m here to help in whatever way I can. Notion has a learning curve, for sure, but I love the benefits that Notion has for my life, my planning, and my education.

but I’ve enjoyed using Notion so far!

So many cool new things to add to my notion! I feel decision paralysis coming on!
