Our review

Automatically creates a daily note in Notion with a structured template to plan your day.

Strengths

  • Quickly generates a full template with sections for focus, tasks, schedule, and reflections.
  • Leverages native Notion features (checkboxes, tables, headings) for smooth integration.
  • Adapts to user customization requests (time slots, emojis, links to previous notes).

Limitations

  • Requires the user to be logged into Notion in Chrome and have a 'Daily Notes' page or database.
  • Does not sync data with other tools and does not handle existing notes.
  • Default time format is 24-hour; may need manual adjustment for 12-hour preference.
When to use it

Prerequisites

  • Chrome browser installed

    • Your workspace sidebar on the left
    • The main content area loaded

  3. In the left sidebar, locate and click on "Daily Notes" page or database

    • If it doesn't exist, ask the user where they want daily notes stored
    • Navigate to that location

  4. Create a new page:

    • If in a database: Click "+ New" button
    • If in a regular page: Click in empty area and type /page then Enter

  5. Set the page title to today's date in format:

    📅 YYYY-MM-DD - Day of Week

    Example: 📅 2024-01-15 - Monday

  6. Add the daily note template structure:

    a. Type the following sections, pressing Enter between each:

  7. After creating the template:

    • Click at the end of "Today's Focus" section
    • Position cursor ready for user input

  8. Inform the user the daily note is ready and ask what their main focus is for today

Error Handling

  • If Notion is slow to load, wait up to 10 seconds before reporting an issue
  • If "Daily Notes" doesn't exist, offer to create it
  • If a note for today already exists, ask if user wants to open it instead

Customization

Users can request modifications:

  • Different template sections
  • Time slots for schedule
  • Additional emoji or formatting
  • Link to yesterday's note

Notes

  • The template uses Notion's native checkbox, table, and heading features
  • Times are in 24-hour format; adjust based on user preference
  • Consider linking to relevant project pages if the user mentions specific work
