How to Add Events to Your Notion Calendar Easily

So, you finally cracked open Notion. Congrats! You’re no longer just scrolling through memes and TikToks while your life goes chaotic! But oh snap! Now you have to figure out how to add events to your Notion calendar? Don’t worry. It’s easier than convincing your cat to leave your keyboard alone. Let’s dive into it!

Step 1: Open Your Notion Workspace

Okay, first things first. You gotta open Notion. If you can find the app icon among all the other colorful apps on your phone or computer, score! Click on it like it owes you money.

If you don’t see it, just scroll through those endless pages until you find it. I mean, who needs a clean phone screen anyway? Just click away and get ready for some calendar magic.

Step 2: Find Your Calendar Page

Alrighty then. Once you’re in Notion, look for that magical place called “Calendar.” It might be hiding like a sock in the dryer but trust me, it’s there!

Look at your sidebar like it’s a treasure map… only instead of gold doubloons, it’s got notes about what you were going to eat for dinner last Tuesday. Keep scrolling until you spot that calendar page.

Step 3: Create an Event

Now here’s where the fun starts! Click on that little plus sign or button or whatever is there (it always looks different). This is basically saying “Hey Notion! I wanna put something cool on my calendar!”

A new window will pop up and it will ask you what event you want to create. Type in something super important like “Survive Monday” or “Feed my plant before it dies.” Remember—no event is too silly when adding it to YOUR calendar!

Step 4: Pick a Date & Time

Now comes the part where everyone gets confused and makes strange faces like they just ate a lemon. You need to pick a date and time for your event.

And if you’re like me, you’ll remember that time zone drama is real! Maybe you’re on Mountain Standard Time while your friend thinks they’re living in Future Time somewhere far away. Just make sure your event isn’t set for next year unless you’re time traveling—which would be cool but kinda hard with a calendar.

Step 5: Set Reminders

Okay okay listen up, this one is super important like peanut butter in a sandwich! You have to set reminders so that future-you doesn’t forget about “Do laundry” or “Don’t eat ice cream after midnight.”

You’ll find an option for reminders when you’re creating the event. Choose one hour before or maybe one week before if you’re feeling ahead-of-the-game-ish. But let’s be real…we’ll probably forget about the reminder anyway.

Step 6: Add Details

Whoa now we’re getting fancy! If you wanna add extra details—like where the party’s at or why wearing socks with sandals is not okay—you can do that too.

Just type in those juicy details so everyone knows what’s what when they see your amazing event pop up on their calendars later.

Step 7: Save It Like It’s Hot

Almost done folks! Just hit that save button faster than you run from responsibilities after watching one more episode of Netflix.

And boom—you did it! Your event is now safely tucked away in the cozy arms of Notion’s digital world waiting patiently for the day when you’ll actually remember it exists.
