Why Use a Calendar in Notion?
Notion’s calendar feature is a game-changer for anyone who wants to organize tasks, appointments, projects, or events all in one place. Unlike traditional calendars, Notion lets you combine your calendar with rich content, notes, and databases — all fully customizable to your workflow.
How to Create a Calendar in Notion: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Open Notion and Navigate to Your Workspace
Start in any page where you want your calendar to live. You can create it on an existing page or make a new page dedicated to your calendar.
Step 2: Add a New Database
Click the “+” button or type / to open the command menu.
Select “Database” > “Calendar - Full Page” to create a new calendar as a full page.
Alternatively, pick “Calendar - Inline” to embed a calendar inside an existing page.
Step 3: Name Your Calendar
Give your calendar a clear, descriptive name like “Project Deadlines” or “Personal Planner.”
Step 4: Add Events or Tasks
Click any date on the calendar to create a new event or task. Fill in the title, add properties like tags, status, or assign people if it’s a team calendar.
Step 5: Customize Your Calendar
- Use the Properties menu to add or hide columns such as tags, statuses, or priority.
- Use the Filter option to show only relevant events or tasks.
- Change views between calendar, table, list, or board depending on how you want to see your data.
Bonus Tips to Get Started
- Use Templates inside your calendar to quickly add recurring event types or tasks.
- Link this calendar to other databases like Projects or Clients using Relations for a connected system.
- Color-code events using Select or Multi-select properties to make your calendar visually organized.
