TOPIC: SAVE URLs TO NOTION IN 2 CLICKS
This week, I am adding an Apple Shortcut template that directly connects to a Notion database of choice via your share sheet on iOS and your Menubar on Mac OS, so you can quickly bookmark URLs you stumble upon in just 2 clicks – the template costs $19, with which you can set it up unlimited amounts of times. The first time takes just 10 minutes to set up for you to instantly bookmark any link you need right with just two taps on Mac or iOS. :)

I use this a lot for publications, studios, agencies, companies or people who inspire me as I stumble upon them daily (I call these influences – you will also get that Notion template after purchase). Instead of forgetting all about them or yet again reaching that 500 tabs on iOS Safari, I just add it to a Notion database, so I can reference any influence at any point in time.
