What is Notion?

Notion is an all-in-one productivity app for notes, project management, tasks, and calendar management. It is available for macOS, Windows, web, iOS, and Android. Although it is a complex tool, users can use the no-code layout to build workspaces for any scenario.

Notion has been a popular Evernote alternative.

What does Notion do?

Used by teams and individuals, Notion is one of the most popular productivity apps on the market. It allows you to organize your life and your team's knowledge.

Think of Notion as this open canvas, the paper in software form.

You create pages, and for each new page, you can create a new mini-app for your work. For example, if you want to create a way to track your holidays as a team, you can do that on a new page. Each page allows you unlimited opportunity thanks to the feature databases that allow users, once learned, to create a database that best suits them in a view that they think best fits their needs.

So you could have a calendar for all your upcoming content, or a list of the projects you need to work on, or maybe even a table (excel style) of all the new customers you're speaking with as your own mini CRM.

Notion is basically up to you on how you build it and that does take some education.

Building Pages

New Page in Notion, Notion Productivity App

Notion's page feature is at the core of its organizational power. Users can create and customise pages to structure and store any information they like. Pages act like containers for content; inside them, you can add text, images, tables, files, links, and more.

What is Notion Projects?

Notion Projects has essentially always existed. You can always manage your projects inside Notion using its wide range of connected features.

If you already use Notion, you'll understand this, however, if you're new to Notion, you've most likely been making your projects into smaller lists of tasks and going from there. Notion Projects is here to show you that managing projects can be much more (and better) than messy lists, it can all be consolidated into one place.

What Are Notion Templates?

Notion templates have been widely popular recently. Notion templates are pages or groups of pages that you can duplicate and add to your Notion workspace.

People like to use Notion templates because they save time learning the application's ins and outs. You can see which templates others in your industry are using or be inspired by people on YouTube to choose the best notion templates for your space.

Why Learn Notion?

Notion is one of the most flexible of productivity tools on the market and loved by millions. Notion presents an open canvas for whatever you want to build, from a simple habit-tracking tool to a complex project management system. This is something that people love and hate about Notion. People love the flexible nature of building whatever you'd like that suits your occasion, but others don't like having an out-of-the-box experience with Notion.

Like all things in life, there are always pros and cons, but many have taken to the internet and offerings to learn Notion from beginner to advanced. Many have even learnt Notion and now develop their own templates and courses to help people save time.
