I’m a Notion power-user and it is the most impressive productivity app I’ve ever used.

It comes with a to-do list, a calendar, a wiki, and other features to help you manage everything you need. Templates are what make Notion unique.

I have used Notion extensively over the years and played with a lot of templates to increase productivity.

In this post, I will feature the most effective Notion templates for productivity.

While featuring the templates we’ve considered:

  • ⌨️ Quick capturing – Ease of entering the data
  • 📚 Intuitive organization – People need to be able to locate the right sections easily without any cognitive effort
  • 🔁 Ease of retrieval – Information should be easy to retrieve at the right time. Right information should resurface at the right time
  • 📏 Scalability – If people want to build on top of the template, it should be scalable. Database-driven templates are scalable.
  • 🎨 Great design – Visually appealing with good aesthetics. Emojis, covers, icons, should be of consistent design. These visual elements should act as visual cues or triggers for easily finding out the right sections when they want.

For each of these templates, we have also included the category to which they belong and tags for an easy browsing experience.
