Notion is different from other software in a few ways. And once you master these basics, you can pretty much build whatever you want. So let's start and go from there!

1. Notion is a flexible canvas

Every Notion page is a blank canvas you can build on, but you don't have to use all the tools in the toolkit. Use it as simply as the simplest of text editors. Just open a page and start typing:

Or add different types of content. Like checkboxes for a lightweight to-do list:
