Do you have something to share?

I'd love to feature reader submissions more often. So if you have a killer template, a new YouTube video or an article you want me to feature, please let me know.

ps. I don't care how many subscribers or followers you have, as long as the content is good or stands out from the crowd, so don't be shy to share your Notion goods with me.

​This week: Better scheduling with Notion Calendar. This means you can create event links and let people book a time that works for them. In other words, you can say goodbye to Calendly, TidyCal, etc.

The dates for Make with Notion 2025 have been announced. September 18 in San Francisco is The official day, with other details to be announced for local events in Seoul, Tokyo, Sydney, Paris, London, Berlin, and Munich.
