Given every detail covered in the previous two posts about Project and Task Management, it is time to detail how I’ve built the set-up with Notion.

How to Build a Project Management System with Notion

Step 1: Create the pages

Create 3 new pages, named “Areas”, “Projects”, and “Tasks”.

Notion set up

Step 2: Add DatabaseS

In each of the new pages, insert a Database “Table - Inline”. With this database, you will manage projects and consequent tasks.

Step 3: Modify the DatabaseS

In each of the databases, it is necessary to make changes in order to make them fit the purpose of each page.

For the page “Areas”, add the following properties:

  • “Name” as the property type “Title” (default).

  • “Projects” as the property type “Relation”, in which you must connect with the database “***Projects***”.

  • “Tasks” as the property type “Relation”, in which you must connect with the database “***Tasks***”.

For the page “Projects”, add the following properties:

  • “Project Name” as the property type “Title” (default)

  • “Deadline” as the property type “Date”.

  • “State” as the property type “Multi-select”, in which you will have 3 states: “Done”, “In-Progress” and “Not-Started”.

  • “Responsible” as the property type “Person”.

  • “Areas” as the property type “Relation”, in which you must connect with the database “***Areas***”.

  • “Tasks” as the property type “Relation”, in which you must connect with the database “***Tasks***”.
