Can you build a task / project manager inside of Notion? From the start, Notion has billed itself as an all-in-one workspace app. But can you actually use it to replace tools like Todoist, Asana, ClickUp, or Trello?

I believe the answer is yes. In this tutorial, I'll take you step-by-step through the process of building this type of task manager from scratch. We'll start from a blank page, and end up with a copy of my Ultimate Tasks template, which includes project management templates, sub-tasks, recurring tasks, filters that automatically set properties like due dates and task priorities, and more.
