Most students use Notion wrong. They build one massive page, dump everything into it, and wonder why they can't find anything by midterms.

Here's what actually works:

The 3-database system:

• Semester Dashboard — one page that links to every class, deadline, and project. Open Notion and see exactly what's due this week.

• Study Tracker — log every study session with the topic, duration, and confidence level. After 2 weeks you'll see exactly where your weak spots are.

• Assignment Pipeline — kanban board with columns: Not Started → In Progress → Review → Done. Drag assignments across as you work.

The key isn't making it pretty — it's making it findable. Every template in TemplateVault is built around this principle: open Notion, see what matters, get to work.

If you're tired of winging it every semester, the Student Starter Pack has all three templates pre-built and connected. $15, use it forever.
