Set 0 Notion Properties - Shortcut

Free template to skip endless hours of setting tasks

Free Taskpanel 2.0 Template

I set 0 properties in Notion, yet I have dates, relations, and priority tags for all my tasks. How? I skip endless hours of setting properties through the Taskpanel 2.0.

Free template link is in conclusion; explanation is required to use this template.

Day Tasks

This first section came from realizing that ~2/3 of new tasks are spontaneously added for today or tomorrow.

The Day Tasks section is a board view of the priority property, with a filtered view for both today and tomorrow.

If you click “+New” under any priority tag, you instantly set date and priority.

All that’s left is to tag your task with a Project relation, but you can even skip that with the Calendar Tasks section I explain below.

Calendar Tasks

This section revolves around the duplicate Notion shortcut:

alt + drag

If you hold down alt while dragging a block, your cursor carries a copy you can drop anywhere else.

Combining this shortcut command with a calendar view really breaks Notion.

Past relation and priority combinations can simply be copy dragged into new dates.

Another non-Notion command speeds this up even further.

cmd/ctrl + backspace

This command deletes an entire row of text. After alt-dragging, all you have to do is click into the new task, hit cmd/ctrl + backspace, and type in your title.

When you first start, you will have to manually tag relations, but after a few days, you can just alt drag from the past.

Eventually, naming tasks is all you have to ever do in Notion.
