Literally came here to thank you for this roast. I've tried so hard to see the worth in Notion and I genuinely have nothing good to say about Google Do--I mean, Notion.
I use notion to track subjects, make homework, build databases, do my daily job and other things. I think it depends on how you use it, which depends entirely on how much you know about its functions
Exactly, you can use the tool anyway you like & apply learning methods to any tool. "Study" is about methods; Notion is a tool. So the answer is to reject the question notion for studying. These YT'ers confuse their viewers/customers more than help them.
Honestly if you try to get into it, it's super easy. I started using it for note taking and a week later I'm rly comfortable with it 🤷🏻♀️ there's a lot of features but they are easy to grasp and you don't need to use each onr anyway
It also the way you think, I also use notion and think that it’s really easy to use, word is for me just hard to understand. My friend on the other half uses word and really finds it easy and he thinks notion is really complicated.
and illusions of learning with relationships were strongest of reasons behind why. - we need to have some spacial depth while constructing understanding for ourselves
He gave the reason… linearity.. he is saying notion provides you a memory specific functionality but not learning.. learning is different than memorising
@@ishathakordoesn't make any sense creating a database for your favorite movies and games and another database for college annotations, and then a grocery list and to-dos, and call it all-in-one. 90% of the all in one stuff has no connection with each other whatsoever.
It’s a matter of how you use it. Our son built a template that took him from 3.42 GPA to straight-A’s. It supports now him with audio-text capture and GPT summaries, and reciew/reinforcement workflow, Ask. AI front ends it, and he created his own Flash-cards generator in Notion. Also of great value to him, since he is busy with simultaneous work and other things- it saves him almost 10 hours a week on studies. I went to and graduated from a few top-5 Universities and have been a researcher for decades, and all I can say is that it is obvious why you didn’t provide any “better” alternative- it is easy to critique anything, but you obviously have no “better” recommendation to offer,
@@SuperForged just like any tool it’s, how you use it. Name another app that has the capability of Notion that can basically be anything anybody wants.
Note taking apps as the name suggests are for taking notes. You are NOT supposed to learn FROM these apps. As far as taking notes is concerned, I think notion is perfect. It has almost all the tools that a note taking app needs to have and it gets the job done. Thats it! Also state your reasons clearly and use simple words. You're using difficult words to prove your point.
I need a full video of your criticisms on Notion and how to use it properly! I'm currently (year 12) trying to change my study process (reason: fine grades but barely free time and overly stressed). The first thing I "tripped over" during my research was Notion and I thought it would be good to organize my To Dos and make study plans. Edit: I do not plan it on using it to TAKE notes. For this, I'm working with OneNote.
Hi Olivia! I felt really relatable reading your comment😢😊 and I just graduated from school, so I guess we’re the same grade. I often get overly anxious and stressed during school year to the point I couldn’t find free time to do anything I like not even simple things that don’t need effort😢 I just wanted to express myself😅 sorry if I talked too much…but I’m glad that someone is on the same boat as me😊😊❤❤ Hope you find a solution to this stress issue❤

@@stefi_2774 I don't know, it definitely takes less effort than Notion. I think OneNote has a great organization system itself (the notebooks, sections and pages). It's very easy to use. If you want to use it for studying I suggest to create a notebook "year 23/24" for example. Then you add your courses as sections. Let's say "chemistry", "physics" and "literature". I then made pages for each topic. For "physics" it might me "atomic models", "quantum physics" and "radioactivity". For every lesson or headline I then added subpages, e.g. "protons and neutrons", "Rutherfords" experiment" and "quarks" for atomic models. If you want to use one notebook forseveral school years you easily can change the name to something like "highschool" and group the sections of each year together. A great thing I learned was that notes itself don't have to be beautiful, instead they should be practical. I knew many people who put hours into stlying their notes but in the end didn't know the contents of it. But still, some memorized it making their notes insta-worthy. I hope I could help you a little bit. I might have to add that I use a Microsoft Surface (Tablet and Notebook as 1 device). The pen is great for taking hand written notes. It has so many functions!
@@stefi_2774know that it also has link features. But I prefer “Copy Link to Paragraphs” more since just creating link with [[]] forms a new page. And you can draw in the onenote, which you can ink replay too!!! And then embedding TH-cam or any webpage links. And you can turn a page into subpage. And so
When saying stuff like that it‘s important to say why you got to this conclusions. Notion on its own is all or nothing, you make it work. It also depends on what you need as a person. I need Notion to process my mental processes and you maybe don‘t such external support systems. I just think it’s important to put emphasis, that it’s personal and it can be overrated for you, but an absolute necessity for someone else. It can give you illusion of doing being busy/working, but it‘s has mental health benefits and it‘s not a waste of time.
I agree with this, I thought about using it for taking notes but then I realised the only way I can wright notes is in a WAY too linear way (even worse than linear paper notes) and its really hard to make relationships esp that it doesn't have any visual linking features like obsidian for example
Notion is good for active recall and flash cards mostly. The thing it can't do is non linear note taking with infinite canvas that's why he is saying it overrated
What drugs have y’all been smoking ? This has to be old Justin lol. And this is coming from your former student from Icanstudy lol. I used Notion while doing your whole course. 🤣

I spent several days grappling with the challenge of creating math equations in Notion, relying on extensive research and cheat codes. While this method may work for some, it proved to be a time-consuming ordeal for me, especially when dealing with subjects like mathematics, chemistry, physics, and computer science. Notion seemed ill-suited for equation-heavy courses, although it may be more suitable for content-based ones. In my quest for a more effective solution, I contemplated returning to Word, primarily for easy printing and user-friendly layout capabilities. After making the switch, I couldn't be happier with the decision.
Notion gives tons of tools for notes and planning. Ive used it for my exams and its been the best. You gotta know how to effectively design your workflow
then your bar is very low, and you'll be outclassed by someone with a better tool there is a reason why Notion was universally hated by researcher, engineers, and all other people who write their own research papers a lot. it's because it makes their job 10x harder and slower, it bogged down your brain processing, it's way too slow for accessing Information, can't handle a long pages Notion just Nerf you down, you get a lot of performance penalty from using Notion and wasting your potential sure, if you never try other tools before, notion seems like a good deal, but for the real Pro, it stunted their growth
You didn't roast. You criticize them. You gave us no information. So you expect us to believe your opinion without giving any examples or bases for your opinion. Thank you, no.
It's good for study management though. And second brain is good for all the bits of information (the books , the articles, the documentaries and the research papers) that are not for school.
Ive used notion for my study. My first semester in my degree, I got into the dean's list. I was a very unorganised student in high school. I was not a good student, but Notion really reallg helped me out. Dont listen to people's opinions. use it first and find out. peace~
Don't know much about this Justin Sung guy, but by watching his shorts, it feels like he says a whole bunch of nothing in an attempt to sell his course.
I used notion for studying microbiology and biochemistry, i produced very neat notes, but the problem is, trying to write notes to study from in notion is very limiting, you can't draw anything, or make graphs or anything similar though it was an amazing experience because i had the ability to link sources from the internet to phrases and names i needed to know more about. I don't believe notion wants to be a note taking app but it can be a great one if they went that way
As a student, i use notion for like calenders, to do lists and shit, i can NOT understand how people would study on that app 😭 i mean, i do use notion on tablet so idk
I just simplify my life with G-Cal for scheduling. I put a link inside the description to my Asana and that’s it. Work (personal projects + professional), law school, and I guess my entire life is in Asana. Am I the only one? 😅
Im using it for notes as i could simply not write by hand any longer, considering I am doing online study. I just set up my study notes in a very nice, simple, and organised way, and I am loving it.
Notion is good for if you are a type of person that loves tracking things, if it is outside of tracking things. You need to figure what app to use that isn't notion and why you use it. I personally use notion for tracking, but I use onenote for note taking because I am a university student. You have 15 weeks per semester. I need convenience for note taking then the modern way of pencil and paper to write notes. There's so much going on, and so little of time.
the thing with notion is once you are set , everything is easy for you.Later on , you won't even rely on it , because you program your brain by using notion for your daily to-dos.
I feel like what you said was pretty broad, like, for note taking and the like I’d 100% agree that it’s not made for this at all. But for things like getting organized, creating to-do lists, setting up goals and deadlines, basically using it like your planner, in my opinion, it’s amazing. I’ve seen a lot of successful people who organize their studies all through notion
"Using Notion in a minimalist way is key to achieving happy productivity. It’s all about focusing on what truly matters without getting overwhelmed by the tool itself. Productivity shouldn't be about obsessing over organizing tasks-it’s about simplifying your workflow to stay efficient and stress-free. Less is more!"
I’m not agree, Notion is incredible for studying in the way you can create links between different courses with relations and roll-ups for example. Moreover, you can categorize, store information in an intelligent way with databases and link with different platforms to visualize your data’s differently. It’s very intuitive and seems to work well with the human brain with the way it works. I would say, it’s better than Word, PowerPoint or Excel.
Notion, along with most “influencer” productivity apps, is overrated. First, establish a system that works for you personally, or your team, then choose the app (emphasis on THE-don’t go down a rabbit hole using multiple apps)
If you're already bad at organizing and planning, Notion won't help you and will be too overwhelming. Notion's tools are only useful if you can create a functional, easy to use system and you have the discipline to stick to it.
bro come on i love notion. at first i did not understand how to use it but now i effortlessly make databases and other stuff. its a hobby or me atp since im an organization freak
Yep, roasted my dream experiment 😂 But let’s see if I can build the all in one life/knowledge/skill management system within Notion …. It’s been 2 years of trial and error…. Maybe I will never reach there. But I will enjoy my experiments
I agree Notion is a great tool but I'd have to say it's best used for project management and completing task. I feel like obsidan does a better job when it comes to note taking and studying topics.
I just love how Notion is bringing new rich features in. Just started using as a complete beginner in early 2024. Steep learning curve but I'm loving it more each day. Mainly using it to study Data Science and Deep Learning courses. Enjoying every second spent on scripting Maths equation with LaTex code block, jotting my Python + Bash scripts and even drawing mind maps with Mermaid. Tools available are way unreal
a guy i watch ‘fromsergio’ said it perfectly. i work in notion & i think in obsidian. i can’t agree more with that. i recently switched my two business plus my personal stuff from clickup & todoist to notion, and it works incredibly well. however i do not have any journals or notes other than to jot down a sentence or two. i’d rather use obsidian to take extensive notes/journals
This content is a beacon of sophisticated and thoughtful analysis. Reading a book with akin themes significantly enriched my understanding. "Dominating Your Clock: Strategies for Professional and Personal Success" by Anthony Rivers
The actually worse thing about it is it’s potential to legitimate procrastination… „To really organize my study I have to build the perfect notion page and then I can start studying“

I use Notion to work. We recently switched to Notion, which has made it easier to organize and optimize our system. Notion is great, but it's a bit of a hassle that every single worker has to be a member and not a guest to use the calendar and other functions.
Yes i agree notion is a bit overwhelming but if we just use it for regular usage like tracking stuffs and all this is a clesn application though (other application works to)
I like Notion for study because of the way that it helps me track subjects and projects, its a good tool overall if you know how to adapt it to yourself.
The whole point of using Notion is to use its Database feature and then represent the same data in different views. All the other features can be done in a word document
I use Notion for study and so far its been working. Im curious what other apps would you recommend then? Maybe there some better that I didny know yet.
I agree with everyone here saying it depends on how you use notion! In college I def used notion and now that I use it for work, I understand why I struggled with notion in school.
I do a lot of self study on a variety of different topics, so after I take my initial hand written notes on my iPad, I type everything in an organized way in my notion “notebook” I have set up. I love how organized I can have all of these various different topics and how accessible it is! I basically use it as one Master Journal™️

I used notion for studying microbiology and biochemistry, i produced very neat notes, but the problem is, trying to write notes to study from in notion is very limiting, you can't draw anything, or make graphs or anything similar though it was an amazing experience because i had the ability to link sources from the internet to phrases and names i needed to know more about. I don't believe notion wants to be a note taking app but it can be a great one if they went that way
As a student, i use notion for like calenders, to do lists and shit, i can NOT understand how people would study on that app 😭 i mean, i do use notion on tablet so idk
Not if you know how, when and what to use it for. You wont say a saw is overrated in cutting wood just because you don’t know how to use it properly.
I just simplify my life with G-Cal for scheduling. I put a link inside the description to my Asana and that’s it. Work (personal projects + professional), law school, and I guess my entire life is in Asana. Am I the only one? 😅
Im using it for notes as i could simply not write by hand any longer, considering I am doing online study.
I just set up my study notes in a very nice, simple, and organised way, and I am loving it.
No Ali Abdaal was destroyed 😂😂
You got logic
actually no... Ali uses notion not for studying as his primary tool...
Notion is good for if you are a type of person that loves tracking things, if it is outside of tracking things. You need to figure what app to use that isn't notion and why you use it. I personally use notion for tracking, but I use onenote for note taking because I am a university student. You have 15 weeks per semester. I need convenience for note taking then the modern way of pencil and paper to write notes. There's so much going on, and so little of time.
Yeah it's overrated. MS Word is more effective in creating study guides. Hahaha
I always thought of it as a project management software
I think its good. Yall just cry because u dont know how to use it-
Plus obviously u arent going to study on it
Im currently using notion, and I regret not knowing notion before. It's really good for organizing, notes, database etc. It increased my productivity.
the thing with notion is once you are set , everything is easy for you.Later on , you won't even rely on it , because you program your brain by using notion for your daily to-dos.
So uh, what’s good for studying then??
I feel like what you said was pretty broad, like, for note taking and the like I’d 100% agree that it’s not made for this at all. But for things like getting organized, creating to-do lists, setting up goals and deadlines, basically using it like your planner, in my opinion, it’s amazing. I’ve seen a lot of successful people who organize their studies all through notion
Yeah, be quiet. You roasted nobody 😂
"Using Notion in a minimalist way is key to achieving happy productivity. It’s all about focusing on what truly matters without getting overwhelmed by the tool itself. Productivity shouldn't be about obsessing over organizing tasks-it’s about simplifying your workflow to stay efficient and stress-free. Less is more!"
I’m not agree, Notion is incredible for studying in the way you can create links between different courses with relations and roll-ups for example. Moreover, you can categorize, store information in an intelligent way with databases and link with different platforms to visualize your data’s differently. It’s very intuitive and seems to work well with the human brain with the way it works.
I would say, it’s better than Word, PowerPoint or Excel.
Is a tool to keep organized and facilitate your studies, it is not a way to study
The fuck is bro yapping for😂
Bro who said notion was a learning tool, its for managing your study notes lmao
Agreed 👍
Notion, along with most “influencer” productivity apps, is overrated. First, establish a system that works for you personally, or your team, then choose the app (emphasis on THE-don’t go down a rabbit hole using multiple apps)
If you're already bad at organizing and planning, Notion won't help you and will be too overwhelming. Notion's tools are only useful if you can create a functional, easy to use system and you have the discipline to stick to it.
im stydy web development notion databse helpme to get database + cms like backend, its its so usefull
bro come on i love notion. at first i did not understand how to use it but now i effortlessly make databases and other stuff. its a hobby or me atp since im an organization freak
I use Notion to make a repository for resources for learning and to track workout
I use it for my whole fking life since school puts my events IN 3 FUCKING DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT CACLANDERS
What an absurd statement
Yep, roasted my dream experiment 😂 But let’s see if I can build the all in one life/knowledge/skill management system within Notion …. It’s been 2 years of trial and error…. Maybe I will never reach there. But I will enjoy my experiments
Try ultimate brain for notion by Thomas Frank
Well dont forget its a tool. If you expect a tool to think for you it's on you
who is this clown? I been using notion for my studies and it have been effective all along
It is designed to study , but the person designing it. What's it to be perfect or nice looking that's way it is overrated.
Ya 😅
Notion is my best friend when I comes to studying I 1000% disagree
What could i use instead of Notion then please ?
I agree Notion is a great tool but I'd have to say it's best used for project management and completing task.
I feel like obsidan does a better job when it comes to note taking and studying topics.
Don’t be forced to switch to another app, trust me only use apps that is comfortable for you.
I just love how Notion is bringing new rich features in. Just started using as a complete beginner in early 2024. Steep learning curve but I'm loving it more each day. Mainly using it to study Data Science and Deep Learning courses. Enjoying every second spent on scripting Maths equation with LaTex code block, jotting my Python + Bash scripts and even drawing mind maps with Mermaid. Tools available are way unreal
a guy i watch ‘fromsergio’ said it perfectly. i work in notion & i think in obsidian. i can’t agree more with that. i recently switched my two business plus my personal stuff from clickup & todoist to notion, and it works incredibly well. however i do not have any journals or notes other than to jot down a sentence or two. i’d rather use obsidian to take extensive notes/journals

Would you ever create a better infinite canvas app?
The actually worse thing about it is it’s potential to legitimate procrastination… „To really organize my study I have to build the perfect notion page and then I can start studying“
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion
But I don't need the comfort of any lies
For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending
Rise
Oh, back when I was younger, was told by other youngsters
That my end will be torture beneath the earth
'Cause I don't see what they see, when death is staring at me
I see a window, a limit, to live it, or not at all
If you could pull the lever to carry on forever
Would your life even matter anymore?
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion
But it's not what you signed up for
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
But there's this momentary beam of light
You don't have to wait those salty decades
To get through the gate, it's all in front of your face
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
But there's this momentary beam of light
I could cross the ocean in a fit of devotion
For every shining second, this fragile body beckons
You think you're owed it better believing ancient letters
I use Notion to work. We recently switched to Notion, which has made it easier to organize and optimize our system. Notion is great, but it's a bit of a hassle that every single worker has to be a member and not a guest to use the calendar and other functions.
Don't blame the tool if most people don't use it efficiently
you should review brilliant next
Brilliant is worked for me, it depends on people's logical thinking
I use it for making flashcards after making mind maps
Yes i agree notion is a bit overwhelming but if we just use it for regular usage like tracking stuffs and all this is a clesn application though (other application works to)
I like Notion for study because of the way that it helps me track subjects and projects, its a good tool overall if you know how to adapt it to yourself.
The whole point of using Notion is to use its Database feature and then represent the same data in different views. All the other features can be done in a word document
I use Notion for study and so far its been working. Im curious what other apps would you recommend then? Maybe there some better that I didny know yet.
I've applied an old egyption learning system on Notion, and I'm planning to explain it on TH-cam, then you'll know that Notion is for studying
I agree with everyone here saying it depends on how you use notion! In college I def used notion and now that I use it for work, I understand why I struggled with notion in school.
If ur gonna talk shit, at least give an alternative
💯
Oh thank god i he was talking about the song if yall dont like that song thats fine but your dead to me
This is about atheism. At least, only maybe.
I do a lot of self study on a variety of different topics, so after I take my initial hand written notes on my iPad,
I type everything in an organized way in my notion “notebook” I have set up. I love how organized I can have all of these various different topics and how accessible it is! I basically use it as one Master Journal™️
Do people use Notion commonly in university?
Hahah little knowledge is dangerous 😂😆
I disagree because I to it while studying.
I use Miro to make notes and embed them into notion. Notion I use for planning and keeping track of assignments.

Illusions of learning with relationships? Yeah bro thinking about it too profoundly lol
i think you took Notion Personally
Not true I use it for studying and it works
Of course it's a calming notion
Me using Google calendar in the other hand
notion is best app for flashcards xdd to me all your study advices are opposite of what i think
I love Notion, have been using it for almost 2 years. But I don't see how one would use it to study. I use it to track my studies and organize my notes, but I don't use it for actual studying.
If its overrated, why not suggest the app that is outstanding
For study, he says you can use any infinite blank canvas app, which allows you to draw a mind map. He specifically uses Concepts.
