What are Templates?
Notion templates are pre-made pages or databases that you can use as a starting point for your own work. They can be used for a wide range of purposes, from project management and note-taking to personal goal-setting and habit tracking. Templates can save you a lot of time and effort by providing a structure and design that you can customize to suit your needs.
To use a template in Notion, you can either start from scratch and create a new page or database using the template, or you can add the template to an existing page or database. Once you've added the template, you can edit it to include your own content and customize it to meet your specific needs. Notion provides a variety of templates for different purposes, and you can also create your own templates to reuse in the future. Templates are a great way to get started with Notion and can help you organize your work in a more efficient and effective way.
