I put together this video to demonstrate how to create a new page in Notion, whether you’re planning a content calendar, creating a personal dashboard, or organizing your business backend.
Notion’s pages are like digital building blocks — you can nest them, style them, or turn them into databases. But it all starts with creating a clean, functional page.
Step 1: Open or create a workspace
If you’re starting from scratch, go to notion.so, log in, and either open an existing workspace or create a new one. Then click the “+ New Page” button on the sidebar.
You can also create a page within another page, which is perfect for hierarchical systems (e.g. a blog post outline inside a content calendar).
Step 2: Name your page and add an icon
Give your page a name that reflects its purpose, like:
- “Client Projects”
- “Weekly Goals”
- “Video Script Template”
You can also add an icon or cover image to make it visually stand out in your sidebar.
Step 3: Choose a template or blank page
Notion offers built-in templates for things like:
- To-do lists
- Calendars
- Roadmaps
- Databases
Or you can start with a blank page and build as you go. In the video, I show how I start with a blank canvas and quickly build a task list and embed a calendar.
Step 4: Add content blocks
Click anywhere and type “/” to bring up Notion’s block menu — you can add:
- Headings and text
- Checklists
- Toggle lists
- Images
- Embedded links or videos
- Databases and tables
I also show how to move and organize blocks using drag-and-drop, so your page stays clean and easy to navigate.
Step 5: Share or collaborate
You can share the page privately or publicly, invite team members, or embed it in other apps. I use this a lot when collaborating on content briefs or planning launches.
Are you using Notion more for personal planning, team collaboration, or content management?
