We get asked this question a lot. "How does the Notion team use Notion?"

We're in a unique position to show you how to use this tool because we made the thing. We know its nooks and crannies and generally try to stretch its limits.

Our goal here is to pop the hood on our internal Notion setup so you can see what we've built, how it helps us get more done, and how you can create something similar yourself.

Read on to learn:

• How we structure our internal wiki for organizational clarity
• How we manage projects across teams using databases
• How we share notes, so everyone is always in the loop
• How every team at the company uses a unique setup to organize their work
• Best practices for getting the most out of your workspace

Here is the bird's eye view of our setup. Below, we'll explore each section in a bit more detail.
