There is a way to have Notion behave like any other Todo app (I used Wunderlist as an example).

  • Create a table with the properties: Done (checkbox) , Title (string), Due date (date) .
  • Sort by due date and add a filter to show only the ones with Done is unchecked . Rename to “Inbox”.
  • Create another view (on the same table) and set the filter to Done is checked. This will be “Completed”, “Done” or “Archive”.
  • Create another view and set the filter to Done is unchecked and Due date is on or before today . This will be the “Due today / Overdue” view.

Iterate as long as you need other views. This way you will just need to tap on the Done checkbox to have them disappear from the main view and view them in the archive.

Also Notion supports reminders, which you can set directly in the Due date property.
