How to Separate Notion Templates from Personal Use

How to Separate Notion Templates from Personal Use

Hey there, my friend! So, you’ve stumbled into the magical world of Notion and now your brain is like a jumbled mess of templates, pages, and random doodles that look more like spaghetti than organization. But don’t worry. I got you! Today we’re diving into the hilarious journey of separating Notion templates from your personal stuff. It’s kinda like separating laundry. You know, without losing your favorite shirt in the process.

Step one: Realize You Have a Problem

First things first, admit it. Your Notion space looks like a tornado hit a filing cabinet. It’s chaos! You might be thinking “it’s fine” but deep down you know it’s not. It’s time to face the music and that music is probably loud and obnoxious.

Step two: Make Two Separate Spaces

Okay, this part is simple but crucial. Create two new pages. One for templates that make you feel like a genius and one for all your “I have no idea what this is” stuff. Name them whatever you want: “Magic Templates” and “Crumpled Paper” sound fun? Great! Now you can visually see what’s what without feeling like it’s all mixed up in your brain too.

Step three: Throw Some Stuff Out

Now we get to the fun part! Do some spring cleaning baby! Channel your inner Marie Kondo but in a messy way… like if she was also an 8-year-old who just found candy in her couch cushions. If a template makes you giggle or maybe slightly smile just by looking at it—keep it! If not? Bye-bye sucker!

Step four: Copy-Paste Like a Pro

So now you got your shiny new pages set up right? Time to copy-paste those gems over to their rightful home! Just be careful here—don’t accidentally copy over last week’s grocery list into the Fancy Template page because then that template will never look good again.

Step five: Color Code The Chaos

You ever color code something and feel like an absolute genius? So grab those colors and start splashing them around on your new pages! One color for templates, another for personal stuff. Make it bright, make it weird; just don’t use brown unless you wanna ruin everything (no offense brown).

Step six: Set Reminder Alerts

Here come reminders because let’s face it—you will forget which page goes where eventually. Set little alerts for yourself so when you’re whizzing through Notion all willy-nilly, you’ll get pinged about using one template before diving headfirst into personal ideas again.

Step seven: Celebrate with Pizza

Seriously…because hey what’s better than pizza after conquering confusion? You did amazing work so treat yo self with some cheesy goodness while scrolling through your beautifully separated spaces in blissful harmony.
