How To Create A Column In Notion

Adding a column in Notion can significantly improve your efficiency and streamline your information. As a Notion user, I have personally found columns to be a valuable asset in organizing my thoughts and managing my responsibilities.

To create a column in Notion, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Notion

First, open the Notion app or website on your preferred device. If you don’t have an account yet, sign up for a free account.

Step 2: Create a New Page or Select an Existing Page

To create a column, you need to either create a new page or navigate to an existing page where you want to add the column. If you’re starting from scratch, click on the “New” button and select “Page” to create a new blank page.

If you want to add the column to an existing page, simply open the page within Notion.

Step 3: Click on the “+” Button

Once you’re on the page where you want to add the column, locate the “+” button. It’s usually found at the left-hand side of the screen, near the top. Click on the “+” button to open the menu of available blocks.

Step 4: Choose the “Column” Block

In the menu of available blocks, scroll down until you find the “Column” block. It should be listed under the “Layout” section. Click on the “Column” block to insert it onto your page.

Step 5: Customize Your Column

Once you’ve added the column block, you can customize it to suit your needs. Click inside the column to edit its content. You can add text, images, links, or any other type of content that you want.

You can also adjust the width of the column by clicking and dragging the edges. This allows you to create multiple columns on the same page and arrange them in a way that makes sense for your workflow.

Step 6: Add Personal Touches

Now comes the fun part – adding personal touches to your column. Notion provides a wide range of formatting options that allow you to make your column visually appealing. Experiment with different fonts, colors, and styles to make your column truly yours.

You can also add checkboxes, tags, and other elements to the column to make it more interactive and functional.
