FAQs

Is this template beginner-friendly? Will it teach me how to use Notion?

Yes, it’s beginner-friendly. The walkthrough videos guide you through setup and customization step by step, and the built-in onboarding teaches you as you go.
That said, teaching the very basics of Notion (like how to navigate the platform, create new pages, or use databases) is beyond the scope of this template. If you're brand new to Notion, we've included links to official Notion resources to help you get started.

How long does it take to set up?

The built-in onboarding guides you through 13 short setup steps — you'll have your Second Brain ready in under an hour.

What if I already have a Notion setup? How do I migrate into this template?

We provide guidance in the walkthrough videos on different options for bringing in your existing notes and tasks. Whether you're migrating from another Notion setup or a different tool entirely, we'll walk you through how to do it.

What if I've never used the PARA Method before?

No problem at all. The template is built to help you apply PARA effortlessly, even if you're brand new to the system.
The walkthrough videos explain how it works, and the built-in easy reference guide helps you understand where things go.

Does this work on the free version of Notion?

Yes. You don't need Notion's paid plan. This template works perfectly on the free version.

What kind of support do I get?

When you purchase the template, you get access to our Circle community where you can ask questions and get help from the BASB team.
We've already answered hundreds of questions and helped many people optimize their setup. You're not alone in this.

Can I customize it for my workflow? Does it work for both work and personal projects?

Yes to both. The template is fully adaptable — keep it simple or tweak it to match your unique needs. It's flexible enough to manage both personal and professional projects, notes, and resources all in one place.

Will I get updates if you improve the template?

Yes. Your purchase includes lifetime updates. Any future improvements or refinements will be available to you at no extra cost.
