How to Use Notion Templates Like a Pro
And with Notion templates, you don't have to start from scratch.
If you just purchased or unlocked a Notion template from Affirmed Visionary, you're about to make your life simpler, more structured, and way more visionary.
Here's exactly how to use your Notion template like a pro, even if you're brand new to the platform.
What Is a Notion Template?
A Notion template is a pre-built workspace that saves time and energy. Instead of creating your own structure (pages, databases, layouts), you get a fully designed system ready to duplicate and personalise.
You can use templates for:
- Journaling and healing work
- Business planning
- Content creation calendars
- Personal growth tracking
- Daily rituals and reflections
The possibilities are endless and totally customizable to your journey.
Why You Might Receive a Notion Template
Picture this: You're exploring Affirmed Visionary's resources and find a beautiful, intuitive planner or journal dashboard.
You grab it, and instead of downloading a static file, you get a link to duplicate an interactive, living digital space you can mould to your needs.
It's not just about information; it's about building a home for your vision.

How to Use Notion Templates on Mobile
On iPhone or Android:
Mobile gives you full access, but it's often easier to do major edits on a desktop if you want detailed changes.
Common Mistakes and Easy Fixes
Didn't Duplicate?
If you don't duplicate before editing, you'll lose access if the original gets updated. Always Duplicate First!
Workspace Full?
Free Notion accounts have a generous limit, but if you hit a block, archive older pages to keep space open.
App Issues?
If Notion's mobile app glitches, log in via your mobile browser instead.
Bonus Tip: Build a Visionary Workspace
Create a Master Dashboard in Notion to keep all your templates beautifully organised in one place, personal, business, healing, and creative projects side-by-side.
Here's a simple way to set it up:
- Create a new Notion page called Master Dashboard (or whatever name inspires you).
- Inside that page, create shortcuts (linked pages) to your favourite templates and planners.
- To add a shortcut: type "/link to page" and select the template you want to add!
This way, you can access everything you need with just one click, no more digging through folders or losing track of your tools.
Pro Tip: Add custom icons and covers to each shortcut to make your dashboard feel truly like your personal sanctuary.
