Disclaimer: I'm not using Notion for any team collaboration right now. I'm currently using it to organize my life - daily tasks, contact lists, book deadlines, idea generation, and ALL OF MY WRITING.
I've been raving about Notion for the past few months. My very persistent friend Grant convinced me that I needed to give it a chance. I'm so glad I did.
Notion's official tagline reads: Write, plan, & get organized in one place. People who write things on the Internet like to describe Notion as a mash-up of Google Docs, Evernote, Trello, and Todoist. This is accurate.
What they don't mention in the tagline (maybe they should!) is that Notion is also super fun to use - once you get the hang of it. There's a bit of learning curve, but after I watched a few quick Notion 101 videos, I was good to go.
Content is created in blocks and those blocks can be whatever you want them to be: text, image, checklist, bullet points, embedded code. Everything is so fluid.
As you'll see below, I also customize every page with a unique icon and header image. I use the icons to quickly scan my workspace and find what I need. And the header images just make the whole experience more pleasant. I like to like the environments in which I spend a bunch of time.
I've moved almost every aspect of my life into Notion. Being able to do - and organize - everything in one place has been a productivity game-changer for me. I never have to leave Notion. It has eliminated so many of the distractions I'd come across when transitioning from app to app.
