Notion

Notion can eat Google Docs for breakfast

Fördelar:

Notion is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of document creation. It offers a loose structure that provides an opinion of how things can work, but is overwhelmingly flexible in what users can do. Never before have I so quickly been able to - create docs - integrate them with dates - add external media

Nackdelar:

Notion's pricing structure is fair, but it's hard to beat free! Google Docs is only surviving, imo, because so many companies already pay for GSuite.

A tool so versatile that it will adapt to your needs

Kommentarer: Since I discovered Notion almost two years ago, it has become an essential tool for me. As it integrates such a vast number of options, I can use it to take notes, draft articles, brainstorm new ideas, plan each course week, and keep track of expenses... My workflow has improved because it allows me to have very different aspects of my work within the same environment. I don't need to switch from one app to another because Notion includes several I usually use.

Fördelar:

My favorite thing from Notion has to do with its flexibility. I use it mainly to draft essays, blog posts, and articles. It's easier for me than any word processing software because Notion allows me --beyond being a multiplatform app-- to reorganize both my text and my files very smoothly. The heaps of templates available are also a great deal. For example, I use one template weekly to keep track of certain incomes and spending. I have also used templates to plan my classes for one semester or sketch a future book's ideas. I also use it as a note-taking app for every meeting.

Nackdelar:

I am pretty happy about it, and I have not used several features that look interesting. The only real problem I have had so far is its dependency upon connection. There is no offline mode. So, eight or ten months ago Notion system was down, and I could not access my drafts for half a day.

Good for knowledge management, but not for planning

Fördelar:

It is effortless to view data in different ways (timeline, board, table) and easy to integrate data between pages. It is straightforward to organise and add structure to the team documents and knowledge base. Specifically, I like the template functionality.

Nackdelar:

Using notion for planning and task tracking is something that I don't enjoy. I think it is not robust enough, and ppl can easily change and manipulate data. It is sometimes hard to understand what exactly was changed. The history doesn't include changes in attributes type and data inside pages. Very hard to track project progress, and it feels hacky. Not enough integration with other standard tools that are used in the company, and the integration with slack, for example, is too basic.

I Run My Life with Notion

Kommentarer: I absolutely love Notion. Since the first day I discovered it, it has been in integral part of my business and personal functions. There isn't anything I haven't been able to use Notion for, so far.

Fördelar:

I use Notion as my Life Dashboard. It is the first thing I open in the morning, and it is open for the rest of the day. I use it for everything from trip planning to client records. I track my budget, my health, my tasks...everything.

Nackdelar:

It took me a while to get a grasp on linking databases and I do wish it was a little more "user friendly" and intuitive...but there are tutorials and plenty of templates and examples.

Must have

Kommentarer: I use both Notion in the scaleup I am working and also for the startup I am building

Fördelar:

It is easy to use, clean, and have a big community of users who will share tips

Nackdelar:

Blocks. I prefer normal copy paste. Sometimes I get frustrated with the blocks. In any case, once you get use to it you are fine
