Form follows function.
At least, it should.
One common request I get from clients is to create them “dashboards” in tools like @notionHQ.
The request is usually the same:
“I want to see all my most important information in one place.”
And while that’s great, it misses one important aspect of how we work:
Contexts.
We get work done in contexts.
We don’t get work done in static dashboards.
Notion, at its core, is simply a collection of databases, database pages, and the contextual pages we access them in.
Building a great database structure is one thing.
But designing the context pages where work gets done is a completely different thing.
In this short guide, I want to share a simple, repeatable process you can use to design your next context-based page for getting work done on NotionHQ.

People set up their Notion databases incorrectly all the time.
I see it every time I do a workspace audit:
• Wrong database views
• Data commingling
• Missing relations
If you're creating a Notion workspace for your team, here's what you need to know about databases:
3. Don't Use Core Databases for Working
Always make it easy to get work done.
This begins with thinking about your users.
Who are the people on your team, and what do they need to get work done?
• A salesperson needs to leads, deals, and meeting notes
• A project manager needs projects, tasks, and meeting notes
• A contractor needs projects and tasks
After you create your databases, tuck them into a "Databases" page.
Use linked databases to create fully customized, user-tailored daily workspaces for each person on your team.
As the late Randy Pausch would say:
"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people."
3-6 months of beginner hell (making close to zero progress and questioning whether it's worth it) is a natures way of filtering out people who weren't serious in the first place.
