Are you hacking your editorial calendar together in a basic calendar or in a spreadsheet? Or maybe you find yourself copy-pasting Google Docs or having to track down where that piece of content lives in the first place?
With Notion, you can visualize all the content coming down the pipeline without losing out on all the context tied with each piece.
And best of all, you can write your content, include notes, or embed multimedia all in one place without having to link off to a separate document.
Give this template a try or keep scrolling to learn how to make it happen yourself!

First order of business - let's create a database that'll house your editorial calendar. You can add one in by clicking the [+] button on a new line in the editor and selecting 'Calendar - Inline.'

Click the [+] button on any of the dates to start adding in your content into the calendar.
A newly created page for that piece of content will open up where you can go ahead and give it a name and add in some tags (e.g. Podcast, Interview, Blog Post).

Let's enrich our editorial calendar by adding in the authors and the current status of the content.
Click 'Add a Property,' type in 'Author' and select the 'Person' property type. This'll then allow you to define who in your workspace is in charge of this specific piece of content.
You can also add in different types of properties to your content pages as well like the 'Select' property, which'll allow you to define the latest status of the content (e.g. Scheduled, In Progress, Completed).
