I believe in the power of a simple, beautiful workspace to improve your focus, energy and general happiness.
2
So, in this video, I'll show you some lesser-known Notion features and gorgeous Notion resources that will help you create your perfect aesthetic Notion workspace.

Bliss!

Productive bliss!

Hi, it's Simon.
6
Today we'll cover the best tips and features to organise your Notion workspace across desktop and mobile apps, how to theme and build a coherent look using the native design options.
7
And most excitingly, at least for me, I'm launching a new Notion design pack.
8
It's my first bit of product design.
9
I've been working on it to offer you a fully custom set of icons, covers and wallpapers to create a clean, minimal design across your devices, all aimed at second brain users.
10
But this video goes much further than that.
11
We cover database template design ideas, great layout tips for mobile and desktop views, and stick around to the end of the video for my new approach to creating global menus for your pages that are themed into your design.
12
The first thing to embrace is how to theme your workspace with icons, images and colour palettes.
13
In the last year or so our options to do this in Notion have been greatly improved so they've upgraded the space to offer a theme set of native icons beyond the standard emoji options in a set of colours.
14
If you click the toggle on the right you you can select a specific colour for every icon you add, meaning you can theme your workspace by that single colour or perhaps colour code areas by colour.
15
This all makes sense for pages.
16
I like to use a single icon choice for a specific area of the workspace.
17
So my task manager dashboard and database have this icon and then the tasks can have the same.
18
This is where you can also add a cover design, of course, but more on that a bit later.
19
A good tip is to use matching pairs like these two folder icons for specific functions.
20
I also like using call out blocks to create page sections by selecting the default background color to the block and then adding an icon for the section, the theme at all.
21
Really nice.
22
You can now go further and add icons to database columns and table title views.
23
This is so useful for those of us that like to create linked views of databases on dashboards.
24
So that's basically a mirrored view of a main database where you want to see different options.
25
A good example would be creating an inbox view for your databases like this one, or maybe a set of really simple checkboxes for habits that just show an icon.
26
Now I used to do this through a workaround of selecting the emoji menu on my computer and putting icons into the text title box on the database columns.
27
But this is great for using a consistent symbol code through your workspace, try it out.
28
Now, where we used to just use emojis to do this, I also took it further to create a global menu with matching icons across the whole workspace.
29
But this doesn't work with Notion icons.
30
So I've had to find a better solution for a global menu that's themed.
31
We'll come back to that though at the end of this video.
32
Next, let's just talk briefly about how to avoid having to redesign every single entry in a database each time and make them look good.
33
So creating a database template is super easy.
34
You go to this little arrow on any of the database views and add new template.
35
There's one I already created.
36
You'll then see it says you're editing in the template.
37
I normally name it.
38
So for example, I might call it new recurring task.
39
You add your icon.
40
In mine, I'm going to go to my custom icons and I'm going to search for recurring tasks.
41
Drop it in.
42
You add your cover.
43
I'm going to upload one of mine.
44
So anything you set within this will mean that it's populated.
45
So for example, I can just put recurring in there and maybe I want to assign it to myself.
46
And there you go.
47
Now you can also set it to a default if you want it to be the thing that always turns up for all views.
48
Great.
49
So now we have a task template that we can link into the system.
50
And every time we create a new one, it will take that icon design and background design on.
51
These can even be turned into recurring templates for things like daily logs or habit trackers or a regular journal entry you want to make.
52
Watch my video on recurring entries and tracking in Notion for more after this.
53
You can find it below.
54
And while you're there, it would be awesome if you click that like button and left a comment.
55
So next, custom icon and cover design.
56
With that in mind, you can go further and theme your workspace with a specific design language across your icons, covers and chosen color palette.
57
And when it comes to page covers, Notion offers the option to upload your own or search for and insert images from its Unsplash integration.
58
This is actually really great.
59
They're free, royalty free, but can be cumbersome.
60
And you have to be really careful when you upload them because some of the files can be much larger in size and then really slow down how quickly pages load.
61
So if you're finding that, it might be because you put the wrong Unsplash image in.
62
Of course, you could design or download your own set of covers and import them.
63
For example, how about searching for a colour and a quality?
64
Yellow wall.
65
I don't know.
66
This way, you can then download the covers into a folder and use them and upload them directly like that.
67
And when it comes to icons, there are many ways that you can find free icons to adapt or collect for your needs.
68
Places like Icon Finder and perhaps the Noun Project are great places to to check out to do this, but I decided to go the full hog and create you guys a set that is designed specifically for people using Notion as a second brain.
69
Yep, today's video sponsor is definitely me.
70
And well, I'm really excited about it.
71
It is my first piece of product design.
72
Over the last couple of months, I've been working with my friend Tom.
73
He's an amazing graphic designer, a brand consultant in London, who to be honest, I've been really lucky to convince to help work on this with me.
74
It means that we have together created 125 icons to start with and themed them to match Notion's own colourways for the native icons so that there is still the option to blend these with the ones you already have within the system if you want to.
75
We've designed these simple cover images and wallpapers to interact with the icons in an intentional way, meaning that your workspace feels bespoke and relaxed when you look at it.
76
But we set our brief to go even further than that and to create covers icons and some widgets that will seamlessly work not only in Notion but also across your mobile iOS devices.
77
So if you're an iPad or iPhone user make sure to also check out my video on how to design and set up a custom look on your device using this.
78
You can download a copy of the pack at bettercreating.com and thanks in advance if you choose to download you'll be supporting me to continue making Notion content and tutorials this year.
79
It really does mean a lot and it's worth adding that my latest 2023 second brain templates also will have the option within them to add the kit pre-installed as well as a full folder of icons and covers so that you can edit to your heart's content.
80
Next up my three most powerful layout tips.
81
Number one has got to be using dividers and columns to order your pages.
82
This is a really great trick when it comes to laying your workspace out and thinking about how it will look both in a desktop view and a mobile view.
83
I'm using a combination of columns and full width blocks.
84
Now on your mobile the order of the blocks will go down a column and then on to the next column.
85
So if you organize your pages into two columns but put your two most important elements at the top of those columns the second would be buried halfway down the page on mobile.
86
Instead use forward slash column to select a column view for what you want at the top of your page or But alternatively, on desktop, you can drag one block next to another to create it.
87
That doesn't work with tables, just use a text block.
88
Then by dropping a full width block, like a divider or a heading under it, or just a block, you can then create a second section in the view to keep things in the order you want on mobile.
89
I really like using dividers like this, and triple dash creates one.
90
The next one is pretty clever, I think.
91
You use a toggle heading with a synced block to create a mobile-friendly view.
92
So this is a great trick for managing something like your homepage dashboard.
93
I put my database views inside a toggle so that I can easily view them on desktop and hide them away when I need to.
94
However, it's really fiddly and annoying on a mobile, and it's not very useful.
95
So for example, I can place my task manager view in a sync block, and then I can create a new page called task manager mobile view.
96
You can use Command L to copy the page link.
97
You go back to the title of the toggle and paste the link into the page and then you select Mention and this creates a linked view to that mobile view page.
98
Now all you need to do is select and copy the synced block, click through to the mobile page and paste it in there.
99
There you go.
100
Now you have a title which you can click for a mobile view or toggle you can tap so you can see it on your desktop.
101
Nice.
102
Okay, let's do it.
103
Last but not least, how to create a synced global menu using call-outs, emojis, or mentions.
104
Creating a global menu for your workspace is super powerful.
105
Here's how I've been updating my LifeOS templates this year to complete that themed look.
106
I think the advantage of this above the standard Notion sidebar is that you can be more customized in how you lay out your navigation and what you include.
107
Number one, we create a synced block at the top of the main homepage.
108
Next, insert a column block based on how many columns you will want to have at the top of your desktop view.
109
I'm gonna do these.
110
From here, you can add either a call out or you can add a mention.
111
I love call outs.
112
Simply put, a call out is a highlighted text box with an icon box next to it.
113
Perfect for a global menu.
114
Now, I add the title of the page, database, or dashboard I want to reference.
115
If you're doing it as a mention, you do at, and if you just want to write it turn it into a link you can click on it and then add the page link there so it matches
116
select the text and turn it into a link you could also simply do this with emojis you just select them turn them into links and link
117
the pages now all you need to do is copy that sync block to all of your main pages and there you go a global menu
118

练习技巧
在模仿视频内容时，建议你选择一个合适的学习时间段。视频的语速相对适中，适合进行英语影子跟读（shadow speech）练习。你可以先听一遍，然后在适当的地方暂停，跟着模仿说话者的语调和节奏。通过“影子跟读”的方式，你可以提高自己的英语发音和表达能力。
如果遇到较快的语句，可以尽量放慢视频速率，并反复练习，确保每一句话都能够清晰跟上。可以在手机或电脑上调节播放速度，使其更加适合你的学习节奏。结合这些技巧，你的雅思口语练习（shadowspeak）将更加高效，同时也能提升你在使用Notion等应用程序时的英语表达能力。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
