Hey everyone! I’m really curious about the different ways people are using Notion. This app seems super flexible and I’ve heard it can do a lot of stuff. But what are you actually doing with it?
Are you using it to:
- Keep track of your thoughts and ideas?
- Manage your money and expenses?
- Write about your day?
- Something else entirely?
I’d love to hear how you’ve set up your Notion workspace and what kind of tasks or projects you use it for. It’d be awesome to get some inspiration for my own setup. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
I’ve integrated Notion into my professional life as a freelance writer. It’s become my go-to tool for managing client projects, tracking deadlines, and organizing research materials. The database feature is particularly useful for maintaining a content calendar and logging article ideas. I’ve also set up a template for project briefs, which streamlines my workflow when taking on new assignments. One unexpected benefit has been using it to track my invoicing and payments, which has simplified my accounting process. While there was a learning curve initially, the time invested in setting up my workspace has paid off in improved productivity and organization.
I’ve found Notion to be a game-changer for my academic life. As a grad student, I use it to organize my research, literature reviews, and thesis drafting. The ability to create linked databases for sources and notes is invaluable. I’ve set up a kanban board for tracking experiments and a timeline for my thesis milestones. It’s also great for collaborative work - my study group uses a shared workspace for our projects. One aspect I particularly appreciate is how it helps me break down complex tasks into manageable chunks. While it took some time to customize everything to my needs, it’s now an essential part of my daily routine and has significantly improved my academic output and organization.
i use notion for everything! its my second brain lol. mainly for project management and task tracking. i love how i can link different pages and databases. also use it for meal planning and habit tracking. the templates are super helpful too. its become indispensable for stayin organized
