Add A Notion Home Screen Widget

Adding a Notion widget to your Home Screen makes accessing your favourite Notion page a lot quicker 💨

My widget points to a page called “books, thoughts, and ideas”. It’s a simple database template where I can store my thoughts on different topics and articles I see online. I believe removing friction is the key to using apps like Notion. If it’s fiddly to input data, you’ll just use another app.

One downside to Notion is that there’s no real offline access and typing up quick notes in there can sometimes take a little while. I’ve started using the Drafts app on my iPhone and iPad and then I copy those drafts to a Notion page once I’m done.
