I've tried to get into Notion several times including watching their own tutorials etc, but I think it really is just the bandwagon effect. When I actually look at what my use-case would be, I don't think I have any reason to use it that isn't already covered by Office, calenders and notebooks.
It is a communication style that I have carefully crafted over my past 2 years in India. It is easier english for my Indian co-workers to understand, which is very important for me haha
How can one make mistakes in a place where there is no mistakes? There's no "correct" way to use Notion. That's the beauty of it, you can use it in whatever way you want. Ivan Zhao even said, he thinks we are gradually leaving behind the idea that you need to "organize" with the way AI is being used. Also, you said your point wasn't to sell a course, but you made a video talking about how Notion is a waste of time, unless people use it the way you do. Odd
Good question. Definitely lots of places to make mistakes. For example building a database with 10-15 properties when it could’ve been better built using a few databases that are related instead. But depending on your Notion knowledge and experience, I’d understand how you could have that perspective. Cheers
“I’ve had to build my own custom templates because I couldn’t find the consultant that was meeting my needs.” I feel like this supports your point about the IKEA effect, cus here you’re customizing notion to your specific needs. I dont think there’s one right way to use it, but there’s certainly a lot of less productive ways to use notion, and it’s easy to get lost in the customizable little widgets and integrations. But at the end of the day it’s a space that reflects how you organize your thoughts and thus your work. Then it’s about having enough self awareness to stop yourself from getting carried away and creating more work for your self. Been using notion for almost two years and the only reason I haven’t switched to another app is because of its simplicity. It’s sort of a blank canvas
Yes exactly, IKEA effect is definitely into play here, and also adds to the fun of the experience. That's awesome man, I made a video on our company templates last week. Let me know what you think!
imo though, there is no real right way to use notion, just like there's no right way to play video games like minecraft. Just like minecraft is a sandbox game that allows you to play it however you want, whether it's speedrunning or taking it slow and building amazing things along the way, Notion gives you the power to use it as a very simple notes app for keeping your shopping lists or for managing businesses, as you said. Personally, I've found it to be quite simple, easy to use, and straightforward and I'm getting all the value I need out of it for appropriately managing school, a second brain, keeping track of my other projects and due dates, without having to see that many tutorials. I personally feel like there's no real reason to treat it so seriously and learn all the fundamentals first when you can just wing it and figure it out along the way. Slightly overkill (at least, imo). For the average person, and small to more or less medium sized businesses, there's very little friction in getting started by creating a blank page and adding all the things you need later on and figuring stuff out. For large businesses that need an excellent organization and management system, well they'll need something much more than Notion anyway.
Great insights man! What you're mentioning is exactly how I felt before I had to onboard our company and close to a hundred people onto Notion. You're speaking from your personal experience and I'm talking about having trained all sorts of people! A handful even quit Notion before they started working with me and then commented on how they weren't using Notion even nearly close to it's potential before as they got more training done! So definitely would've understood the capabilities of the app better if they had gone through some good training. Ofcourse you'll continue to learn along the way, but gotta know best practices such as how to avoid creepers in minecraft ;)
Hey! I am definitely open to sharing this with you for being one of the early subscribers. Follow our page @notionbudy on instagram and as soon as the templates are ready to be sold then dm us and we'll send them over to you for free. Will most likely be before the end of March as I need to transform these working databases into presentable templates.
Hey! Thanks. I have the Mavic Air 2 and we took those shots during our Kedarkantha trek. Definitely difficult to fly it in those conditions but we decided to risk it for the content!
I had a knee injury that still remains a mystery as to what caused it for 8 months and it broke me down and destroyed my self esteem. I can't imagine years would have done to me. I feel less alone. Thank you.
Thank you for this video you have gained a new subscriber but i have a question though, i teach online so i have a data base of my clients / prospects and so on, for my clients i have two classes a week for each but when i try to make a new event in notion calendar maybe (mark 3rd lesson) or something like that i can't connect it to the original data base where I have all of the information about this client and his progress, let's say i have client (A) and i have a lesson with him every Monday 3pm and Friday 12pm. how can i set this up in notion calendar? as it was a swift operation using Google Calendar.
Hey! So our rep's comment isn't going through. He filmed a loom for you so please message us at @notionbuddy on Instagram as I am not able to post a URL here.
Great video! Fingers crossed it'll get plenty of views, you truly deserve it - simple, clear and to the point :) This calendar app is a total game changer for me, been waiting for a native GCal integration in Notion for so long
The recitation of Shrimad Bhagwat is a spiritual practice as well as it’s a gateway to increased fortune💫. The scripture is believed to usher in prosperity, shaping destinies positively. As the verses resonate, they bring about a transformative energy, attracting blessings from Lord Vishnu and paving the way for a successful and prosperous life.🌟 Actually, it's a great vlog on such a beautiful thing!!
Hey, I have been playing golf in India throughout my childhood. As for the price of the course, you get what you pay for! There are much more expensive and better courses in the country - Delhi, Chandigarh among a few good courses which also host international tournaments. But loved the video, I think it's one of the first times that I am seeing a vlog like this covering Indian golf!!
