How to create recurring tasks in Notion?

(11.2022 Update)

For a long time, recurring tasks were the Achilles heel of Notion.

Notion is an excellent tool, but without a native solution for creating recurring tasks, it forced its users to develop complicated workarounds.

That sucked when you were using Notion as a task manager.

Thomas Frank even created a bot with Make.com to create recurring tasks in Notion.

Sure, some advanced power users probably joined him, but for the majority of Notioneers, Frank’s approach was just overkill.

The best solution I discovered was suggested by August Bradley in his famous Youtube series

Instead of marking a task as complete, August simply moved the date to a new recurring date.

Boom! This method worked, and I used it for almost 2 years. But the truth is, doing recurring tasks in Notion like that wasn’t satisfactory.

I mean, most of Notion’s competitors like Coda or Todoists offered easy in-app solutions. No wonder the Notion community had been begging developers for this feature for a long time.

On the 8th of November 2022 Notion finally released an update that included recurring tasks with repeating database templates.
