Notion's database calendar is great for scheduling; a small calendar widget is better for a home or journal page where you just want today's date and how far through the month you are. Choose a minimal calendar, Year in Squares, Life Countdown, the Japanese Almanac (Reiwa era, rokuyo, solar terms) or the Japanese Micro-Seasons note.
Among the animated icons, Live Calendar, This Month and Week Number switch to today automatically, and This Week works as a page cover.
