Notion saw a huge surge in usage when the San Francisco-based startup made the Personal plan free for everyone. Besides Notion commands and their modular approach, templates play a big role in the Notion ecosystem. There is a template for every use case. We’ve already covered Notion templates for the education industry, but what about the authors? Let’s find some useful templates for them too.
Notion offers some built-in templates. If you’re not sure about them, you can always go to the community-based templates section to find the unique ones. We’ve compiled a list of the top ten templates every writer should try.
Note: To use any Notion template from the list below, click the download link and use the Duplicate option on the next page.
1. Weekly Agenda
Everyone needs a capable task management system. Notion offers reminder functionality, but is limited in certain ways. You can always choose the Weekly Agenda template to organize the coming week in style.
You can visualize your most important to-dos with an agenda that helps you clear your brain of to-dos, set priorities, and be more conscious about timing so you don’t rush things at the last minute.
2. Blog Post
Did you know that you can create your entire blog on Notion? Use this template as the basis for what a post might look like. You can include text and images in many different configurations. You can also create a blog homepage to link to all of your posts – the gallery view is especially useful if you want to showcase the images in your posts.
This option also allows you to view the author and publication date! To set it live on the web, all you have to do is go to Share at the top of the main blog page and turn on Public Access.
3. Book List
Does your New Year’s resolution include reading books on a regular basis? Notion’s Book list template can help you keep track of all the books you’ve read and plan to read in the future. A clean, central place to visualize your reading habits.
4. CV
Most Notion users prefer to build the perfect resume on a Notion page. If you don’t want to start from scratch, go ahead and try the Resume template below. You can create a beautiful, functional resume in your workspace.
Activate “Public Access” and submit the link with your job applications. You can continue development even after submitting the resume.
5. Daily
Notion can also replace Journal apps. The journal template allows you to create journal entries with tags, dates and times in Notion. The Entries tab opens the blank canvas to let you create journal entries. The template may not replace special diary apps like Day One and Journey, but it can provide you with enough functionality to start your Diary journey.
6. Vocabulary
This is a must have for every writer out there. Every once in a while you come across useful words that you want to use in future writing examples. Notion’s Vocabulary template can help you keep track of newly learned words in one place.
7. Blog Manager
Blogger, this is yours. The third-party Notion template allows you to manage all phases of posting with a comprehensive blogging manager. You can schedule posts, manage guest posts, and track progress and upcoming posts using templates.
8. Contract Offer
As freelancers, we spend a lot of time bidding. Making a whole proposal by hand is very time consuming. There are tools online, but they don’t have the overly complex, expensive and simple duplication elements. In short, the experience is not user friendly. With Notion, you can post mobile-friendly offers, manage them in a MiniCRM, and most importantly, repurpose all my content and interlink elements.
9. Free Clients
Are you a freelance content writer and deal with many clients at once? This third-party Free Clients template helps you manage all the work at once. You can follow all the work in progress with the wages, unfinished works, deadlines and many more details directly on the Notion page.
10. Digital Brain Board
The purpose of a brainboard—similar to a bookmark collection—is to record and internalize important learning from the many articles, podcasts, videos, and other sources of information you consume in your life.
