Follow this guide to create your Notion account and learn some tips for initial setup and customisation that will maximise your productivity.

initial setup and customisation
Once your account is ready, it's time to tailor your workspace to fit your needs, especially useful if you're using Notion for SQE preparation.
Create a New Workspace
Notion allows you to create multiple workspaces under one account. You might want one for personal use and another dedicated to your SQE studies. Just click on your workspace name in the lower-left corner and select "Add a Workspace."
Explore Templates
Notion’s template gallery is a treasure trove. For SQE students, templates like "Class Notes," "Task List," or "Study Planner" can be incredibly helpful. These templates are fully customisable, so you can tweak them to your study habits.
Set Up Your Dashboard
Your dashboard is your home base. Consider adding a calendar for your study schedule, a to-do list for upcoming tasks, and a section for important links and resources. Use Notion’s embedding features to add external resources directly onto your pages.
Organise with Tags and Icons
Make your pages easy to navigate by adding tags (like "SQE1", "SQE2", " "Practice Questions," or "Revision Notes") and custom icons for a bit of visual flair that also aids in quick recognition.
