## Steps

1. Start with a new empty page.
2. Name your dashboard.
3. To build our first section of the dashboard, choose a section heading. Click to select.
4. We'll make our first heading " Professional" for work related items.
5. Add toggle lists to create collapsible lists that neatly store items.
6. Add a few list headings.
7. Click on any toggle list to open sub-items and add a few.
8. We will link a table that holds our expenses under Expenses .
9. Continue adding items where appropriate.
10. Use a slash command ( /divider ) to insert a divider block between heading and content.
11. Follow the same steps to create more sections.
12. Drag to select multiple blocks at once.
13. Use the 6 dotted handle to drag them next to Professional to create a neat 2 column layout.
14. Let's add an icon to easily spot our dashboard.
15. And a cover photo to make it pleasing to look at.
16. You now have a simple yet powerful dashboard made inside Notion.
