Summary: How to Create a Bookmarks Page in Notion

Speaker: Dave (The Notion Coach)
Purpose: Demonstrates how to build a centralized bookmarks page in Notion to sync links across devices and browsers.

Key Steps:

1. Set Up a Notion Database

   • Create a new workspace titled "My Bookmarks."
   • Add an inline database called "Bookmarks Library" with properties:
     • Name (website title)
     • Tags (categories like Work, Social, Video, etc.)
     • Last Edited (timestamp for sorting).
   • Switch to Gallery View (small size) for visual organization.

2. Install "Save to Notion" Chrome Extension

   • Enables one-click saving of URLs directly to the Notion database.
   • Offers more customization than Notion’s official web clipper.

3. Save and Organize Bookmarks

   • Example: Saving an Instagram link auto-populates the page name, URL, and site logo.
   • Use tags to categorize bookmarks (e.g., "Social" for Instagram).
   • Toggle properties (e.g., hide tags, show URLs) for cleaner navigation.

4. Customize the Page

   • Adjust fonts, add icons, or rename the page (e.g., "Welcome to the Internet").
   • Group bookmarks by tags for filtered views (e.g., prioritize "Work" links).

5. Set as Browser Homepage

   • Bookmark the Notion page in your browser or set it as a new-tab default for quick access.
   • Ensures consistency across devices without manual sync.

Bonus: A free template is available in the video description to skip setup.

Outcome: A unified, cross-device bookmarking system with visual organization and easy updates.
