how to create a page anchor in notion
coming atcha with a quick & simple one today!
how to create a page anchor/link to block in notion. a “hack” if you will, to jump to a location on a page. this helps immensely with my focus and limiting distractions when i am navigating to my task list on my dashboard.
let’s get into it!
In this video I go over:
purpose of a page anchor
mho daily dashboard example
mobile app example
how to create the page anchor
back to top of page
why create a page anchor
why would you want to create a page anchor? it’s a quick and easy way to get to a specific spot on a page with just one click. instead of having to scroll through everything and find where you’re going, one click will take you directly there.
example
for example, i’ve got one on my daily dashboard that leads directly to my mho, which is my monday hour one aka my weekly planning & to do list area. this is the most important section of my dash, it’s my go to for when i’m working on anything.
it’s also super helpful for on my phone. i don’t usually do work on my phone, but if i need to get to something quickly, this link allows me to almost immediately get to where i need to be, without having to scroll through the rest of the dashboard.
how to create a page anchor in notion
copy link to block for my “mho” title above my tasks database
at the top of the page, type what i want it to say: “mho”
highlight that and paste the link to the block
now when i click that link, it takes me directly to that point on the page
like magic! 🪄
and here’s a hot tip, instead of having to create a page anchor to get back up to the top of the page, you can click on your page title up in the breadcrumbs on the top of the page… and it’ll automatically bring you back up to the top!
and that’s it! i’d love to know how you use page anchors in notion, or how you wanna start using them now. leave me a comment in the video!
thanks for being here.
i’ll see ya in the next one.
