How to Set Reminders in Notion for Task and Deadline Management

​

Notion is a versatile productivity tool that enables you to manage tasks, projects, and deadlines all in one place. One of its key features is the ability to set reminders to help you stay on track with your tasks and deadlines. In this updated guide, we’ll walk you through the current steps and best practices for setting and managing reminders in Notion.

​

Setting Up a Reminder

​

To set up a reminder in Notion, follow these steps:

​

1. Open Notion: Launch the Notion app or access it through your web browser on your preferred device.

​

1. Navigate to the Task or Deadline: Open the page or database item that contains the task or deadline you want to be reminded about. This could be a project page, a database entry, or an item on a Kanban board.

​

1. Access the Date Property: Click on the date field associated with the task or deadline. This opens the calendar pop-up where you can see date options.

​

1. Select the Reminder Option: In the calendar view, click on the reminder icon (often labeled Remind) next to the date. This will display reminder options.

​

1. Choose Reminder Timing: Pick a preset time option like 15 minutes before, 1 hour before, or 1 day before. You can also choose the Custom option to specify a different reminder time.

​

1. Save the Reminder: Once you’ve selected the timing, confirm your choice. Notion will now schedule a notification at the specified time.

​

After setting the reminder, Notion will notify you at the chosen time via in-app notifications or email—depending on your settings.

​

Managing Reminders

​

Notion allows you full control over your reminders for efficient task and deadline management. Here are some useful management features:

​

Snooze Reminders

​

If you’re not available to handle a task immediately when the reminder appears, you can snooze it. When the reminder notification pops up, simply dismiss it. Notion will prompt you to choose a new reminder time, allowing you to reschedule it for later.

​

Editing Reminders

​

If your plans change, you can easily update your reminders. Navigate back to the relevant task or deadline, click on the date field to open the calendar view, and then click on the reminder. Here, you can modify the timing or select a new preset or custom time.

​

Deleting Reminders

​

To remove a reminder, open the task or deadline’s date property, click on the active reminder, and select the Delete option. This will cancel the notification so you won’t receive any further alerts for that task.

​

Viewing All Reminders

​

While Notion doesn’t include a dedicated "Reminders" tab by default, you can create a customized view within your task or project databases to track upcoming reminders. Filter or sort your database entries by date or reminder status to get an overview of all your pending notifications.

​

Conclusion

​

By following the steps outlined above, you ensure that you never miss an important task or deadline. Notion’s reminder system is flexible—you can customize the timing, snooze notifications when necessary, and easily manage them as your schedule evolves.
