How I Built a Finance Dashboard in 10 Minutes (and You Can Too)
Stop manually tracking your spending in spreadsheets. Here's how I set up a simple Notion dashboard that gives me total clarity in minutes.
For years, I tracked my finances in a clunky spreadsheet. Every month I'd forget to log a transaction, then spend an hour reconciling. It felt like a part-time job I didn't apply for.
Then I built a Notion dashboard with three simple databases: income, expenses, and savings goals. I linked them with rollups so I can see my net worth at a glance. The setup took 10 minutes, and now I spend 5 minutes a week updating it.
The key? Don't overcomplicate it. Start with a simple table for expenses, add a formula for totals, and connect it to a monthly summary view. If you want a head start, my Finance Tracker template has all of this ready to go—just duplicate and start logging.
