How to use Notion
February 25, 2024
Managing subscriptions can often feel overwhelming. With so many subscriptions, it's easy to miss payments and renewal dates, and it's hard to track unused services, too. Notion provides an intuitive solution for tracking subscriptions with great efficiency. This guide will show you how to set up and use a Notion subscription tracker. It will help you stay organized and avoid unexpected charges.
Understanding the Layout of Your Subscription Tracker
To unsubscribe from the blog, first understand the structure of the subscription tracker page in Notion. There is a shortcut button on the left to add new subscriptions to the page. It is very fast to access them, and this is very beneficial for the mobile application.
After the add button bar, there's an upcoming renewal bar. Letters in this section are titled "Subscribe and renew today for the next seven days." They are a weekly reminder of the following week's subscriptions. At the top, there is the list of your subscribed services and their prices—active and inactive ones. This consists of both monthly and annual expenditures, indicating liabilities on your financial statement.
Detailing Your Subscriptions
When you scroll down the page, more information about the subscription type is specified. This comprises the price, the next renewal date, and the renewal date meter. Finally, detailed data helps provide more efficient subscription management.
Adding New Subscriptions
Find a new subscription in the "Quick Add" section and use the "New Subscription" button to start a new one. This feature eliminates the need to add many daily subscriptions with the exact specifications. Subscription Title and associated Subscription Price should be entered. Then, choose one category, status, a start date, and a billing cycle. After this, the system locates the following renewal date and sets a countdown timer. This enables you to monitor each subscription with much ease about the status.
Managing Subscription Services
You can easily toggle your subscription services by category in the activation section. This method keeps your subscriptions organized and makes changes hassle-free.
Tracking Active Subscriptions
We sort subscriptions under the "Active Subscriptions" tab for better viewing. You can access this section at any time to change the price or the start and billing date. Selecting the payment cycle, either monthly or yearly, allows you to consider your personal budget more closely.
Pro Tips for Subscription Management
Here's a tip: it is recommended that you add the renewal module to the Notion home page or to any other page that you use most frequently. This way, you'll always get the renewal dates of your subscriptions again. It is one of the best-analyzed and easy-to-implement processes for handling finances.
