Some remarkably practical information. Did I miss if you offered some templates for these boards, especially the content planning board?

I love Notion and use it for everything from managing big projects to book journaling. I agree that it’s a steep learning curve but so worth it in the end! If anyone is looking for reading templates, I just posted an article on my book journal today! https://writingbeyondthepage.substack.com/p/my-portable-reading-journal-for-remembering

Excellent post Alberto, really love the ideas for people to be organized and more productive with Notion.

I am a ClickUp power user myself and do most of the same things, but like you said, the tool is not the important part, the person and the system are.

An F1 car driven by my grandma is not getting too far any time soon ☺️

I really like your Celebration board, I may steal this idea if you don't mind.

Sounds like a good collection for testimonials.

So Alberto, I zoomed in and I’m going to medium to look for that article about when you don’t adore your wife. I’m intrigued. And also, what language is that in your notes?

I'm Italian!

But which article are you referring to?

Expand full comment

The one about Notion. Well that answers my question!

Great introduction to Notion, Thanks! I have been using Notion for a while, but havenΒ΄t taken the deep dive into all the options of the software. But I see the huge potential in it. I might have to reconsider after this article. :-)

Hi Veronica, I have blocked off time for this in my calendar and will attend. Notion has become central to what I do online since AlbertosΒ΄s article.

Expand full comment

Wow! That's a great compliment!

Expand full comment

That’s so great to hear!

It will be lovely to see you live.

The session will be very interactive with live-demo so you will get a lot of value out of it.

Expand full comment

That’s the goal.

And you can do everything listed here for free. (Except for AI)

Is it possible to work offline with Notion?

I use Notion for work and my small business, I love it so much! I thought about if I should use it for my writing as well, and this article just gave me the push I needed. Everyday I discover an amazing Notion feature. I can’t wait to learn more about the app and implement some of these ideas.

What are you going to try?

The Kanban board for sure.

I loved the examples with screenshots.

We are thinking of a workshop for paid subscribers. Would you be interested?

A Notion workshop would be great Veronica. This article has re-ignited my interest in Notion.

Thank you for your feedback, Roy.

I’m discussing this with @Alberto Cabas Vidani

Expand full comment

Absolutely

Expand full comment

Great post! I also use Notion as a kanban board for content planning, when I'm in the process of applying for a new job, and I use it to journal/track my mood. But yeah, agree that it's a steep learning curve - if it's a document I need to share with my mom or boyfriend, I stick to GSheets or GDocs instead.

Yay, this is so affirming. Thanks, Veronica and Alberto!

I've been trying to figure out Notion for a year. Despite all of the templates I've acquired, I think this article explains things better than anything I have seen.

Expand full comment

Thanks. Templates are problematic.

Often you end up forgetting about them, or you have to learn how to use them, or you have to heavily customize them to your needs.

The best approach is to take one single goal, one thing you want to implement in Notion, and learn by doing.

Makes a lot of sense.

So happy to hear that, Susie!

I found it super useful too and we are thinking of having a hands-on workshop for paid subs. Would you be interested?

This is really useful. I've been using Notion for about 6 months but haven't taken the time to set up structured pages for my writing. These are some great ideas πŸ’‘
