“It helped that Notion is flexible enough for me to build what works for my family and I, and iterate as we go along. In the same database, I tagged the dates of her appointments so that they show up on Notion Calendar.”
“Pretty simple setup but it allows me to write whatever inside of each nice and easy and keeps me going right to the item instead of running around looking for it”
“Right now, I'm just typing slash and trying the tools Notion offers. So far, I think what I'm going to do is use the toggle list tool to hide the long text in the beginning (and the second long text I'm going to write in detail later about how I applied mnemonics to learn a pair of verbs), and then I'll use a toggle list to create entries for new words and inside a description of the "mental image" I made to learn that word.”
“Imo, the advantage of using AI inside a workspace is the context and having the AI to operate within your notes or docs. Not writing detailed prompts every time.”
“notion is great at working with docs, and actual work, and you get a choice of a lot of models, but if you plan to use models like opus, fable etc, you're going to blow your budget real quick because notion introduced usage limits”
“You just need one big database with all your notes and Tags (Python,Docker,React,etc.) Global search in Notion (Ctrl/Cmd+K) works well,and flat tags structure is more convenient for AI synchronisation than hierarchical folder structure”
“I use Notion’s Custom Agents for workflows, and database automations for simpler notifications, Slack messages, and emails—like letting someone know when a status changes.”
“Ah the classic "I have 47 tabs open about Notion setup and still don't know where to start" phase. The easiest structure that actually sticks is a simple PARA setup, it's boring but it works and you won't spend three weeks tweaking databases instead of storing notes.”
“hi guys im a developer , iwant to start using notion as my knowledge base , but it seems like there is no way to structure for a beginner user , im looking for tuto or some known structure that easy to navigate ...”
“Also, the monthly cap is the real killer. A 6-hour wait? Fine, I can grab coffee. But waiting a whole month? Come on, this is supposed to be a productivity tool.”
“Hey I use several different notion workspaces everyday, currently when I want Claude to have access to a different workspace I have to remove the connector and reconnect notion pointing at a different workspace. Is there any good way to give Claude access to several workspaces at the same time?”
“Use it with the Claude + MCP connection to notion. Than you can update databases and pages by chatting with Claude, no temptation to endlessly organize Notion.”
“Interesting 🤔 I do *all* my writing in Notionband I write daily. I wrote a whole book in it. I only use a dedicated writing program when I need to do formatting or sometimes for late stage proofreading.”
“I keep it pretty simple, Notion for me is mainly notes, i use Toggles extensively but what helps a bunch is connecting Claude to Notion. I can have Claude do a lot of work and I can use the speak to Claude feature to tell it what to do.”
“Notion if anything been a blessing for me, literal godsent tbh lol, help me sooo much to organize my chaotic mental health and i easily laid everything out about myself”
“I studies principles, project management and my own workflow then build Notion system around that. Forget about the aesthetic, focus on the backend how things connected (this is notion’s power - relational database) then once that done, you can think of the design UI”
“Before the ability to access your stuff offline, I had a few days where I couldn't get to my data and that kind of soured me on Notion for anything too important.”
“I use a “life area” called “System Improvements (Notion)” for any tasks or idea regarding organizing or upgrading of my Notion system itself and it has been a good way to keep all that from spiraling on me.”
“It's a common trap. I think it's because Notion can make busywork feel productive. You feel like you're doing something, making progress, but it's just a dopamine hit.”
“when notion started talking about AI, I thought that one of the main uses would be employing AI to set up these automations (since notion's system for setting up these automations is very unintuitive and complicated). But instead they made it a premium feature and left automations as they are; some require extremely convoluted workarounds to make them work.”
“I use it every day along with my Google Calendar linked into it. I have databases for tasks, trip itineraries, the gym, they all get added to my notion calendar”
