Notion

About: Notion is striving to be the ultimate note-taking and collaboration application for all teams, but interestingly, they also don’t clearly define the ‘best’ use case for their product. While Slack pushes messaging, Notion’s core competency is that they do a lot — and it’s up to you to make the best use of those features for either personal or professional use.

On a personal level, Notion is a great way to organize your day-to-day tasks, keep track of events, jot down quick thoughts or blog posts, etc. On a personal level, I’d equate notes to a powerful hybrid between Apple’s Note applications, a traditional Wikia page, and a reminders application. It’s pretty fantastic once you learn all of the ins-and-outs.

For work, Notion is a great task and project managing tool, with the ease-of-use that Slack offers your team and the flexibility that a Wikia would offer you in regard to building out a clear hierarchical framework. Notion takes its power a step further by offering a ton of customizability (brand-ability for your company), and a great companion application for you to use on the go. Where a lot of applications already struggle, Notion has taken the initiative to build out features teams and professionals will truly enjoy.

How We Use It: I use Notion for personal notes, project management, and idea tracking. It’s by far the best platform I’ve seen thus far for those aforementioned tasks. This is all content I can then share out with my team, or have them join to collaborate with me on. The Notion team has made it incredibly easy to share rich content, in a confined workspace, but also to build a hierarchy within that same workspace.
