Happy TBFCMGT! đđŚ
I hope you survived Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and are supporting local nonprofits today on Giving Tuesday. Instead of giving a financial contribution this year, I donated art supplies to our neighborhood elementary school â and Iâm teaching at Career Day this week (more on my activity we do later).
Also thank you to everyone who shared their feedback about tech & tactics! Iâm still processing your notes, and will be making slight changes starting in next weekâs newsletter, so stay tuned for whatâs to come.
OK thatâs it, on with this weekâs issue.
stay cool â Sara Loretta (@ _systmsâ˘)

Custom Wiki Using Notionâs Databases & Layouts Features
Iâll be honest, I donât get Notion Wikis. I donât like the layout or how you have to convert a database to access it. I wish it was as easy as having the page verification feature in databases to toggle on/off just like sub-tasks.
Recently I worked with a client on a MASSIVE migration from Slite, and it was a feature they had hoped they could utilize, but like me, are not a fan of the Wiki layout.
So, I built a pretty solid hack and released it as a free superSYSTM⢠for ya!
The hack is pretty straightforward and uses a few extra properties (which you can hide using Custom Layouts), including;
an Updates property that lets you know when a page is set to expire or when it was last updated if no Verification was set; and,
a few native Database Automations to auto-tag the Page Owner to update the expired page.
Check out the demo & install this superSYSTM⢠in your own workspace here.
