I have searched a lot of videos about the Notion. All youtubers say, " Create this and that and done," no one says, "What is this? How does it work?. I thought it's quite hard until I found your videos. I totally understand how Notion works. And I even create my own headquarters🎉 just like yours. I'm so grateful for you❤. You deserve more subscribers😢. Keep going 💪

This really resonated with me. Having ADD, I bought a Notion template to get more organized and focused. But with no prior experience using Notion, it only left me more frustrated, disorganized, and confused. Everything mentioned in this video felt like a reflection of my struggles over the past week. This is the first video I’ve found even remotely helpful. Thank you!

The video is good, but the wobbly effect is so distracting and makes everything hard to read. For the next time, please don't use that effect 😭

In terms of productivity what you explained makes perfect sense.

Also I see why kanban boards is so powerful for professionals (certainly not so much to students) as it also simplifies remaining micromanagement thing.

I'll certainly watch more videos from you on Notion :) Thanks

Man thank you. I had been looking for how to use and organise databases in an actually functional and relatable way for aaages! I've watched and half watched so many many vids that always make it far too complicated and I get overwhelmed. Clicked on the clickbaity title for shits and giggles - and somehow this was is the most useful notion tutorial i've seen to date... No BS, Straightforward & functional. Perfect for the adhders out there who get easily distracted. Would love to see an update vid incorporating/utilising the new Notion Calendar app too!

This was a great, clean explanation of how to get started with notion.

‘Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World’

Or you could just use Trello or Todoist and not waste your time with Notion?

Tell me if I'm wrong. I just see Notion as being cool for people who like to build systems, but I don't see how that system ends up being that the tools already out there. Personally, I also prefer using different apps for different needs:

Evernote - note-taking
Trello - project management
Google Tasks - basic todo lists
Google Calendar - calendar

'A World Without Email'

'So Good They Can't Ignore You'

I like where this video is going topic-wise, but I wish the music was lower in volume, I personally find the music after 6:30 a bit distracting as it goes from being smoother to being a bit "punchy." Not sure how else to describe it. So right when I'm really trying to concentrate on what's being said, I feel like someone's knocking on the door (figuratively speaking) and I have to ignore the knocking and focus harder. That said, I have definitely struggled with understanding how to relate databases in Notion before, and this video has helped me.

Your take on Notion spot on! You're ability to execute a good video on it horrible. That musici mix is atrocious too loud way too loud.

Excellent database description-especially within the context of managing tasks and project without adding more mental clutter. I've been suffering from the malady you lay out in the beginning--Todo-itis, basically. I came here looking for a way to use the database features in Notion to calm that down a few notches. You've got me heading in the right direction.
And I love the temp/pace of how you go through it. One of my challenges with others' videos on Notion is the caffeinated way in which they blaze through their settings. That, combined with their assumptions about prior knowledge on Notion, can make it very difficult to keep up with them sometimes and actually get something actionable out of their explanations. This video was particularly well done in those two ways. Really helpful.

wow thank you - clickbait title but not the bad kind of clickbait

@Miles143official
@

Helpful!

@ic0n0cla5t

Wow ! That's probably the worst video I've seen on Youtube in years. WTF were they thinking with that wavy background ? Is this even a tutorial ? smh

@max2551
@

Where is the value from the added complexity of making "Projects" a separate database? The only reason databases should be separate is if each database has many properties, with almost NO overlapping properties between them. My Tasks and Projects are far more similar than they are different.

@rationale7727

this was nice and helpful, while you absolutley did not need to shit on other people's preferences at the beginning.

@Riververchi

Agree, aesthetics lie!

@rollrollc

i love my clutter <3

@javi_044

Cognitive resources and clutter?
That's just wrong assumptions?
Have you seen the Asian websites?
It all depends on individual's way of thought processing.

I can't work on a boring space. Reason why my books have drawings everywhere...
If you don't want aesthetics, go to obsidian default, don't go to notion.
I went back to notion from obsidian for the aesthetics

the cursor wasn't having it

thanks man ✌

@elhamidimohamed6106

Finally a helpful video on notion haha

@AmberChapman-d8j

why people keep adding background music which is louder or the same volume as speaker speaking. just your voice, remove any background music

@tbad2009
@

I've got a question. I understand the part about the linked databases, but I just realized you could simply add another property, like 'select,' and choose the lifebuckets you created with the second database. Then, in the 'lifebuckets/tasklists,' you can filter by each selected property. What are the advantages of your method? I would really appreciate a reply.

@filipegoncalves9918

The video is good, but the music on the background was too loud. If you could next time lower a bit the music volume would be better

@Oroitz
@

The music is annoying...

@FireBlade57
@

No. I actually get dizzy with a blank page and completely overwhelmed.
For visual people it’s super important to have some differentiation between blocks. Colors and such.

@ensenoloqueaprendo

Why not to use a Google spreadsheet 😂

@mg878

Lucky for me I encountered YouTubers who actually explain databases 🙏🙏 The less imagery and the more focusing points on task-achievement functions, the better the outcomes fr

@devalmezz07

Not a rhetorical question at all, but I'd love to understand how this is different than using the calendar and task list in Outlook.

Good video - could be GREAT but that dam music. Music on instructional videos - what possible purpose could it serve? Here we are learning about NOT being distracted on a video that purposely has distraction edited INTO it…. OK rant over - still great info so thanks :-)

@MarketMakerMethod
@

it took a little to get there, but it was worth the wait. thanks for the tips!!

@0n4nd0n

Good video unbearable music, turn it down so I can hear your voice better I'm not interested in the music

@enlightenment6278

Interesting vision, thanks for sharing

@quentinc8551
@

But how do you manage recurring tasks? Say you walk the dog every or every other day. Or habits for cleaning the house or any other repeating task. How are they easily managed by this system if you need to pick a specific date for every task? Or am I just missing something.

For me, a system that is mostly automated and doesn't need much hands on editing (except for setup) is the best

@Ridethewhitecat

Exactly what I was looking for!

@EnclaveGold

distracting background music 😵

@gracelivingangeles
@

damn i hate being broke, I badly need this but I aint have money to buy this temp, anyways nice work!

@yass3548
@

Please remove distracting noises and muzak

@TauvicRitter
@

thanks, but the background music and the endless "illustrative" images are totally counter productive.

@chanstr4186
@

using notion for this type of workflow is the real clutter. please use a simple to-do app. microsoft to-do is a pretty well rounded one.
notion is pretty good for many things but task management is not one of them -yet

@ThinkingBottle
@

You music is soo loud in the background - as loud as your voice, hard to listen to you and concentrate over it. - but just to add it is a good video. But let me hear you easily - please :)

@dozydoe
@

when notion started being mentioned on here i couldnt wrap my head around how to use it - it was so overwhelming for me; i completely agree with what u mentioned about how disadvantageous it is to productivity to be having a setup that is more focused on aesthetics. I'm sure it works for most of them but it personally isnt helpful and leaves me feeling more drained then i am if i just had a simple pen and notebook lol. your video came just in time as i am trying to give notion another try and looking for a way to have my setup done. thank u so much for this video.

@thickyoonglesinwhitedenimi9920

Great video love it, PS: the melodies in the background are a bit distracting.

@aymen4830

The background music was a poor choice. Couldn't get through the video. 😢

God damn the background audio is HORRIBLE!
