Summary
A writer details their experience using Notion and how it didn’t live up to their expectations as a productivity tool.
They had hoped Notion would be their one-stop shop for task management, notes, knowledge storage, and project management, among other things.
While initially exciting, the writer found that simple tasks started taking too long and the app was slowing down their creative processes.
They realised an all-in-one solution was not helpful and decided to use different apps for different purposes, also recommending this approach to others.
To maximise productivity, the writer suggests mapping out core needs and selecting apps that fulfil these specific purposes.
They have four maxiumum apps in their stack, using Notion for writing, Google Calendar for scheduling, Logseq for notes, and sticky notes for quick capture.
Using specialised apps for each purpose has increased productivity and reduced frustration as the apps work seamlessly together.
