Tracking Tasks with Checkboxes and Reminders in Notion

You can track tasks in Notion by using checkboxes to mark completion and setting reminders to stay on schedule — perfect for daily or weekly planning. Combine both features in a database or simple to-do list to stay organized and on track.

Step 1: Create a To-Do List or Task Database

Add a new page and choose a Table or List view. Create a property for Checkbox and another for Date.

Step 2: Use Checkboxes for Task Completion

As you complete each task, simply check it off — making it easy to track progress at a glance.

Step 3: Set Reminders for Deadlines

Click the date property, add a due date, and toggle “Remind” to get a notification at your chosen time.

Step 4: Create Recurring Tasks (Manual Method)

Duplicate recurring tasks weekly or use templates to speed up the process.

Step 5: Optional – Add Priority or Tags

Add properties like Priority or Task Type for better filtering and focus.
