📅 How I Use My Weekly To-Do List Template in Notion (and Why It Just Works)
Notion girlies (and guys), if you're anything like me, you live for the feeling of checking things off a beautifully structured to-do list. And after a bit of experimenting, customizing, and tweaking—I finally landed on a weekly system in Notion that has become my ✨ride or die✨.
Let me show you how I turned a basic to-do template into my personal command center.
🗂 The Setup: Weekly Pages FTW
I organize everything by week. Each week gets its own dedicated sub-page under my main "📋 Weekly To-Do List" hub. Here’s how it looks:
📆 4/7–4/13 🤠
📆 4/14–4/20 🎯
📆 4/21–4/27 🌸
I name each page with the date range + a little emoji that matches my vibe for the week (Halloween? 🎃, Busy work week? 📈, Tennis week? 🎾). Trust me, it’s the little things!
✅ The Breakdown: What’s Inside Each Week
Each weekly page follows the same layout:
1. To-Do List
A good ol’ master list of random tasks that don’t have a specific day:
- [x] P tennis lesson fee from 4/5
- [ ] Apply for the Notion Ambassador program
- [ ] NYC plan – book for famous stuff in advance
2. Upcoming Events
This is where I jot down everything coming up that week—casual hangs, big events, appointments, etc.
- Tuesday or Thursday: Date Night 💕
- Saturday: Pre-game at H’s 🍸
3. Daily Sections
Each day gets its own little space. I only add tasks when I actually have things to do (no need to fill up the whole week with fluff!). For example:
**Tuesday**
- [x] Laundry
**Thursday**
- [x] Book SAT court
- [ ] Whole Foods Grocery Run
- Dinner with A + E at 8 🥂
🎾 Weekend Tennis Coach Life
Saturdays and Sundays always get extra love because I coach tennis! I use toggles so I can keep my sanity without overwhelming the page.
🎾 Tennis Lessons – Sunday:
- E: 10am
- A + K: 11am
- P + A: noon
🌐 Bonus: Links, Maps, & Visuals
One of my favorite parts about Notion? I can add:

🖼 Custom cover images that match my mood
Like this one I used for the 10/28–11/3 week 👇
(I’m feeling extra artistic since I’m going to NYC soon!)
💡 Why This Works for Me
This template isn’t fancy—it’s just effective. Here’s why I keep using it every week:
I can see everything at a glance
I use toggles to keep things neat but detailed
Emojis + visuals keep it fun and personal
I can customize it endlessly (hellooo color-coded chaos)
Everything is organized in one place and easy to scroll through
✍️ Final Thoughts
I used to feel overwhelmed managing tasks across Google Calendar, iPhone Notes, and my brain. Notion changed that.
Now? My life is cute, clear, and checkbox-friendly. Highly recommend building out your own weekly to-do list system—it’ll change your planning game, promise 🧃
