Currently building a new social media platform called Chad, we’re helping people discover what’s around them through location-based chatrooms pinned on our map.

Organization

Notion makes it really easy to keep your workflow organized. In the app, you’re able to create “pages” and sub “pages” that you can put inside these “Page”.

See the example below.

Task page has “Team Schedule”, “Feature Task”, etc as sub-pages.

I created a page labeled “Tasks” that way my team understands that this page is used for tracking tasks only. We have a development task page which shows ALL the tasks we need to be completed, the “Schedule” page are tasks assigned to each team member for that week.

Schedule each week

Development Tasks

Anyone can see what others are working on that week at anytime.

To Do Lists

One of the best features I think Notion has to offer is it’s “To Do” list. I created a weekly “To Do” list for me to complete throughout the week. I wake up each day and add to the list, as I work throughout the day I check things off that I complete.

As an entrepreneur, this helps me keep track of everything I’ve been getting done each day.

Time is something you can’t get back.

My To Do List.

It’s important I’m working effectively, if I’m not the company suffer and so does my team.

Collaboration

Collaborating in Notion is surprisingly easy. All I had to do was invite my team members to the “Chad” channel.

I gave them full access to every page, which allows them to do anything they want with the existing pages (Edit, delete, create, etc). Once they accepted the invite, they were all set up.

Can’t expose my teammate’s names/emails… Sorry, I’m not letting you take them from me!!!!

Users can make changes/additions, once this happens these changes/additions get pushed instantly to the other team members instantly. Notion updates these changes on each platform (Desktop/Mobile/Web).

Notion makes it easy to collaborate.

Pricing

I originally subscribed to the free version just to play it on the safe side, but I fell in love with Notion and within a month or so I already hit my storage limit. I upgraded to the personal plan as soon as I could and instantly invited 4 of my team members to join the channel.

For $4 a month Notion offers A LOT and it’s well worth the investment.

Templates

The templates that notion offers are what I think separates it from the competition. Not only are the preset templates great, but they also save you a lot of headaches. You don’t have to use Microsoft word, Notes app, Evernote, Excel or any of these programs, ever again (well at least I don’t).

Notion offers so many templates that you’re going to want to use all of them and it even suggests templates to use that you might have never even thought about using… Crazy right?

Preset templates are shown in the right column.

Create a page and choose from so many different options.

At times it feels like Notion is apart of our team with how much they support us.
