What are Notion Templates?

Notion Templates are are pre-built components for your Notion workspace that can easily be imported into your workspace. They range from simple one-page cheatsheets to complete all-in-one business solutions.

The most important thing to keep in mind when looking for a Notion template: what problem are you trying to solve? It’s easy to get lost in the sheer endless amount of Notion templates. Here are a few questions to ask yourself when browsing for your next Notion Template:

What problem are you trying to solve?
Are you looking for a complex or easy solution?
What’s your Notion level? If you’re just starting out, check out the only Notion tutorial you’ll ever need.
Do you want a ready-to-use template or something that you can customize to your own liking?
Are you looking for a free Notion template or a paid solution?

Why do you even need Notion Templates?

There are an estimated 15,000 Lego sets in existence today ranging from the Classic Volkswagon T1 Camper Van to the Star Wars Millennium Falcon. Given the “atomized” structure of each Lego block, the number of powerful and creative combinations isn’t surprising. The same can be said about Notion, the (self-proclaimed) all-purpose productivity app. With unique blocks ranging from embedded tables, databases, calendars and kanban boards, it’s easy to fire up a task manager, finance tracker, or personal wiki.

But the endless flexibility of Notion can be intimidating. Every workspace starts as a blank page. How do you even get started? Notion Templates are a great way to kickstart your Notion journey or to find a tailor-made solution to your problem without spending hours experimenting. After all, building the Star Wars Millennium Falcon (aka your perfect Notion workspace) is a lot easier if you have some instructions and not just a rough picture in mind.

How to create and duplicate a template

Creating a template is no different than “saving” a Notion page. All you need to do is toggle the public and enable duplicates settings. To add a template to your workspace, simply click duplicate in the top right corner of any public page.

Now onto the templates. Let’s go!
