Why I live in notion on a daily basis

I live in my notion database as an independent consultant, using it for tasks, meeting notes, second brain database and heaps more. It took me about 6 months to really find my feet but once it clicked, the capability has been super impressive. The community support around the product is fantastic, and the ability to buy templates makes up for the steeper learning curve if you are having trouble getting started.

Pros

Flexibility to create what you need. The AI tool is a game changer as far as recalling info within your database.

Cons

It does have a steep learning curve, although there is training available, and heaps of resources online, it still takes some time to get your head around it if you have not used a system like this before.

A high powered program with some flaws

I use Notion for business management and to handle the business information of one of my most valued clients. While it is almost unlimited in its functionality, when you hit one of those limits, it can be felt. In particular there are mission critical plug-ins (Notion Calendar) that work well on a web browser but -- oddly -- aren't compatible with their own desktop software.

When it's good, Notion is very, very good. But it does have its limits.

Pros

Ease of use and cross-compatibility with other software like Asana, etc.

Cons

While the developers seem responsive to their users needs, non-critical but seemingly major items can take forever to be resolved

Reasons for Choosing Notion

I found Asana hard to work with in its free version and I didn't want to pay their steep subscription prices.

Reasons for Switching to Notion

Most of Notion's competitors have much less flexibility in customizing their data tracking and/or require a subscription fee for full functionality. Notion gives you the most in its free version. By far.

Great Project Management Tool

I highly recommend Notion for smaller teams and projects. It is a great way to collaborate with team members and keep everyone on the same page in a very organized fashion.

Pros

Notion is very easy to use and does not require much training. It is very intuitive. It is really helpful for collaborating with team members which for us are mostly remote. It's a great way to help us stay connected.

Cons

Our team grew pretty rapidly and so did our projects. We found that Notion was missing some features we wished we had. I think we just out grew Notion but it was great when our team was smaller.

Simple, powerful, and efficient

Notion is a practical and enjoyable tool to use. Its intuitive interface and powerful databases make it an excellent choice for organizing daily tasks and taking notes. Despite a few minor downsides, it stands out as one of the best apps of its kind.

Pros

Notion is a tool incredibly easy to use (thanks to its intuitive interface). Everything is clear and easy to grasp, even for beginners. It’s a true all-in-one tool, allowing for note-taking, task management, and project organization in one place. The standout feature compared to competitors is its flexible databases, which let you organize information however you like.

Cons

The main flaw of Notion is that there is no offline mode. Additionally, while it's simple for basic tasks, it can take some time to master its more advanced features, especially around databases.

Flexibility at your fingertips!

I'm constantly impressed by the new updates that Notion is putting out -- I love that it's a collaborative tool with a strong relationship with its user community. It really feels like the company is listening to its customers and responding to their feedback, and also working closely with third party apps to create flexible, seamless experiences.

Pros

Notion is such a versatile and powerful tool! I use it extensively for collaboration and planning at work and in my personal life. The UI is incredibly intuitive, so even though there's so much you can do in the app, it's never overwhelming or difficult to figure out how to achieve the outcome you're looking for.

Cons

Notion is a very flexible tool, so it's really helpful if you come into a project with an idea of what you want your end result to be. Without that initial "vision," I had some trouble fully communicating the app's capabilities and scope to my colleagues.
