**Formula Example – Progress Bar** (Projects database)  
```
format(round(prop("Progress") * 100), 0) + "% " + slice("▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮", 0, floor(prop("Progress") * 10)) + slice("□□□□□□□□□□", 0, 10 - floor(prop("Progress") * 10))
```

> 💡 Tip: Copy the formula into a **Formula** property named “Progress Bar” for a visual cue.

## How to import into Notion
1. In Notion, create a new page where you want the Second Brain hub.  
2. Click **Import** → **Markdown & CSV** and select this `.md` file.  
3. Notion will create each heading as a sub‑page; open each sub‑page.  
4. For every table marked as a database (e.g., **Capture & Inbox**, **Projects & Goals**, **Knowledge Library**, **Reading & Learning Tracker**), click the three‑dot menu → **Turn into → Database → Table – Full page**.  
5. Adjust property types to match the column headers (e.g., **Date**, **Select**, **Multi‑select**, **Formula**, **Relation**).  
6. Re‑create the **Relations** between databases:  
   - In **Capture & Inbox**, add a **Relation** to **Projects & Goals** (property “Linked Project”).  
   - In **Knowledge Library**, add a **Relation** to **Projects & Goals** (property “Linked Project”).  
   - In **Reading & Learning Tracker**, add a **Relation** to **Knowledge Library** (property “Notes”).  
7. Copy the provided template snippets (Zettel Note, Formula) into the appropriate **Template** or **Formula** fields.  
8. Set up **Views** (Board, Calendar, Gallery) as described in each section to match the workflow.  
9. (Optional) Add **Reminders** on the Review pages using `@remind` syntax.  
10. Voilà – your Second Brain PKM system is ready to use!
