Notion Kit #014 | Time Track Directly in Notion

Let’s be honest: Most time-tracking apps feel like more work than they’re worth.

Separate tools.

Constant context switching.

Interfaces that rarely match your actual workflow.

But what if time tracking lived inside your Notion workspace? 👀

Notion Kit #014 shows you how to do just that—by integrating Everhour with your Notion databases (<3 mins).

You’ll get a start/stop timer next to every task and real-time data on your spending time across tasks, projects, and clients.

👉 Create Everhour Account (it’s free) (*not sponsored)

🛠 How to Set Up Everhour Integration:

  1. Go to everhour.com

  2. Click Try with my Notion

  3. Select your Notion workspace

  4. Click Select Pages

  5. Select any or all pages you want Everhour to have access to, then click Allow Access

  6. Click your profile icon (in the bottom left) and then click integrations

  7. Download the Everhour Chrome Extension that the banner mentions.

  8. Click/open the Everhour Chrome extension and click Allow Access

  9. Now you’ll notice a play button by all database rows in Notion that you’ve allowed access to

📌 Why This Feels Like Magic

For freelancers or consultants, folks who directly bill from their time, time tracking is essential.

Seamlessly layer that into the platform that you probably work out of the most, and you’ll reduce the time wasted context switching or backtracking to attribute hours spent on XYZ tasks.

Magic 🪄

Even if you don’t directly bill for your time, I encourage you to start timing/tracking how long it takes you to complete tasks.

Even as I write this newsletter, I have a timer running.

It pushes me past the perfection roadblocks and helps me realize I’m taking too long to complete certain tasks.
