my favorite productivity app
my favorite app for productivity by FAR is the appĀ ānotion.ā before i get into all the details about why i love it i thought i would let you know that it is available on mac, iphone, android, google play, and desktop!!! that means, wherever you are in the world, you have access to your notion spreads as long as you have the internet (for desktop that is). the app is free and just recently, the personal plan has been made completely free, not limiting you to a 1000 block limit which is amazingggg. also, if you have a school email (ex: ending in .edu), you can get the personal pro plan for completely free (otherwise $4 a month) which gives you just a little more access.Ā
also p.s. this post is not sponsored, i just love notion THIS MUCH.Ā
the simple interface. i loveeeee how sleek this app looks. the default font is beautiful and itās just really satisfying? you can also hide the sidebar which is really nice (i always have that on) and itās lowkey really user friendly even if youāre a beginner.
how advanced it can be. while it does take a little bit to get the hang of sometimes, epecially if youāre doing really complex things with tables and equations, it can be an extremely powerful tool. you can use it for anything and that takes me to my next point.Ā
how customizable it is. this app is entirely customizable and itās quite amazing. you can change the font, the color, the size of headers and so much more. you can do literally anything you want with this app. you can make the best page that is entirely customizable for you. if you donāt want to get that fancy (or are trying to work your way up to being a notion guru), you can import hundreds of templates that you can then customize.Ā
the emojis and headers. the addition of the emoji icons for each page as well as header images really takes the cake ngl lol. itās a simple addition but it can make each page in your workspace *that* much more customizable. i love looking for header images that perfecly connect to what is going on on my page.Ā
keyboard shortcuts. oh my god the keyboard shortcuts are a god send. you can create a new ~anything~ just by hitting the forward slash. my fingers barely leave my keys (unless iām scrolling) because iām able to navigate mostly using the keyboard (like doing comand [ or ] (on a mac) to go back/forward a page). sadly these arenāt on the mobile version but i mostly access notion on my laptop anyway.Ā
linking. YOU. CAN. LINK. PAGES. IN. OTHER. PAGES. HOW AMAZING IS THAT.Ā
pages, tables, boards, and databases. i just recently got into make tables and itās been game changing. i can make the main tableĀ āhubā and create different views of it (how cool is that) that i can link in other pages!!! with the linking feature, you can also show the same table in the same page but with different views (like seeing the same table twice if that makes sense). itās just so great. and the tables are so fluid, even on mobile.Ā
moving things around is simpler than ever. there are 6 little dots next to each block (thatās what the call each piece whether thatās text, headers, or to do lists) that you just click and can move anywhere. just writing this post, i wanted to reorder it a little and i wanted the dots to be there but they werenāt! itās so easy to do. like i said you can reorder but you can also make collumns and ugh itās amazing.Ā
available anywhere. finally, notion is available anywhere!!!! they have an offline mode and you can get it on practically device. if you canāt tell already, i literally love this app and the fact that i can access it anywhere, itās a deal breaker. i lowkey donāt know what i did before i had notion.Ā
if you have any questions about notion or just want to fangirl with me about how amazing this app is, feel free to leave a comment, dm me, or leave a message in my asks that are always open!Ā
also, in the next week or so i will be posting an update on how i use notion (since i have knowledge on how to use tables). i made a ~beautiful~ home page for myself and i want to show that off too so stay tuned :)
