This is hands down the best video on the notion for beginners! I saw this application in some video and I was struggling so badly using it. But now I can say I know some things about it. Thanks a ton for making this video! Also, I'm a student, and I'll be using it to make notes and to-do daily, weekly, and monthly lists. Thanks again!
9:00 minutes in & still wish I’d be shown the overall skeleton first..not a million decoration options for a “hub” I don’t have context for (other than “you can do anything” “I could even @ someone..” ummmm great I guess… Does this app make pancakes? Because the title said for beginners).
Awesome tutorial! I'm a student and managing all my assignments and goals is getting more and more difficult. I've really needed to use notion for a while now but never got around the complexity. This was a great headstart for me!
This was a great video - it really helped me to understand a bit more about Notion. I am using mine for my novel project; keeping track of my notes and also my unruly bookshelf. I watched one of your videos yesterday on how to make a Book Case and mine is now set up and looking very professional. So thank you for making these awesome tutorials. It's been a real help to me.
Great tutorial. He has a knack for giving clear, concise explanations. His coverage is pretty thorough. I can become a confident, adept Notion user in no time. I can tell that he has no financial worries and is probably debt-free and well-off. He mispronounces the word 'lien' which means that he has never heard of one. 🙂Seems like neither he nor any one he knows has ever encountered this financial event. Good for you Productive Dude! Keep up the great work.
Just started using Notion and wanted to figure out how to link the dates from my calendar page to my current week's page or vice versa. I'm lazy haha didn't want to update everything twice would rather automate it than having to update manually. Great starting point, gonna look around your channel for some more advanced topics.
I just downloaded Notion and I really think it will help me organize things, but yes I'm with Cliff, I need more basic information. At this point its very overwhelming. Looking forward to a more simpler view.
Thank you for this Video it has really helped in my day-to-day classes and helped me in my study tidying things up. And it also helped me with my small business for commissioning schoolwork and content creating. Godbless!🥰
Great tutorial-- you are an amazing teacher and this is very, very helpful. Thanks. Just an FYI a "tax lien" is pronounced like "leen" ; in other words, one syllable, with a long 'ee' sound.
@@ProductiveDude Quick hint: if you see a new word which does not have an obvious pronunciation, just google it followed by "dictionary". You'll get a page with the definition, some hieroglyphics showing you how to pronounce it, and for us living in the 21st century, you'll get a button to click and hear a voice pronunciation. How I wish I had that when I was a kid in school with my ADHD tripping me up. Thanks for the excellent video.
This is very helpful as just found out about notion today. i don't know how much i can thank you for walking me through this tutorial. i even saved this youtube video link to my notion so i can come back later. :)
Thoroughly enjoyed your video! Thank you for spending the time to create it! I’ve tried many different project management tools and nothing has worked the way I wanted! Excited to watch your other videos! Thanks again
Enjoy the other videos on the playlist! I also have an updated Notion tutorial for 2022 if you can find that it might help as well. I also recommend you watch my priority tracker video it might help with your project management.
Awesome, thank you Carter. I run a boutique interior design and renovation studio on Adelaide, Australia. Notion will be used as a Client Project Tracker so my team has access all in one place. Cheers, Penelope
Altogether wonderful. But to change going forward: the phrase "Concat" in piece on Database formulas is short for command: Concatenate (means join together) - cat like the kitty-one - Usually you can also type "& {field 1} &" "& {Field 2} -etc. To create concatenated data in main field do it in 2nd field - Copy to Excel - as text - copy it back to Notion main field - delete now redundant 2nd field - best way to be sure main page item names are informative & unique. I usually link last name as 1st field so it can be an alpha list not of 1st names. ... Prosper, Dude! Ron Hufham
thanks, i really loved this video. This persuaded me to go ahead and give notion a try. i'm a start-up professional organiser and i was looking into notion to build myself a database to keep track of clients info, follow up on clients but also for marketing plans ect. after viewing this video i really think notion can be the solution also in combination with hobby's.. i've got a notbook for sewing projects, for other crafting projects, now i can try to put all this together in notion :-D
Hi. Thanks for the brief tour. I learned how to create sub-pages by watching this video. There’s just one thing. I am not sure of how you set that Workspace and Private sections on the side. If you could throw some light, that would be great. Thank you.
Come here to get some tips as I was switching back to Trello after Airtable (just didn't like Airtable that much in the end) and found Trello just not able to do what I wanted (and they had more restrictions on the free option too). Then a friend said to go for Notion and I am blown away (also thrilled I could import all my trello stuff into it! Thank you for the video!
Also while I am finding this interesting, being a total beginner this doesn't feel like a beginner video. I'm pretty tech literate and when starting with notion this week it took me a while to figure stuff out but would love a really step by step set up and explaining what each thing is from ground up!
@@ArtByEmilyHare If you want a really exhaustive step-by-step hand holding description try this guy's videos: th-cam.com/users/augustbradley He takes a systems approach so you will get a complete system and even be able to download some of his database files. It will take a while as he has 42 videos. Give him a try and see if he gives you want you want.
@@mikethelma Thank you so much! I've actually managed to find my way through it really well since I left this comment. I am absolutely in love with Notion, it is helping me no end organise myself. It's a brilliant platform.
Awesome Video! Very informative and to the point. This might an odd thing to ask, but could you drop your notes in a Google drive or Dropbox. I'm talking specifically about the Real Estate notes, they are extremely helpful. I've been trying to get into real estate and I learned a lot just from that single note you opened. Would love to hear from you.
Great video. I run a data visualization group that works with military Vetean nonprofits. Looks like Notion might be the answer to project management. I'll be checking out your other videos. Thanks!
Awesome! I think you'd benefit from watching my video that I dedicated to databases. Check it out if you'd like: th-cam.com/video/HeX_MH_Z-Bc/w-d-xo.html
well presented. Can an entry be exported from Notion into another app. I guess that means using Notion as part word processor to include a graphic, saved and exported to a wordpress site? Thanks for the hard work to document your ideas here. This Notion app is very reminiscent of early Mac apps (OmniFocus and OmniPlanner) back in the day but finally in the Windows world.
Hi, awesome tutorial! Is it possible to link a page in one of the columns? Like instead of writing a title and creating a new page you link an existing page to it
It is very helpful. Thanks. I am brand new to Notion. I want to keep important documents of different kinds in one place under Notion. . Any suggestion that helps me to do that?
How do I combine three tables into a home table? for example ..... 3-4 subjects(which has all the topics covered) into a home table(SINGLE table) of all the classes I have attended.
Notion offer free for personal plan and for education (teachers, students). what are the differences two accounts? I am free for the personal plan and will be a student next month.
In order to troubleshoot this issue I'd recommend watching my full guide on how to move things around in Notion and create columns and sections. th-cam.com/video/aPwQOw4SoFU/w-d-xo.html
There shouldn't be anything too massively different. They may have moved some buttons around but the features all work pretty much the same. They've also added a grouping feature and synced blocks since I made this tutorial. You can check out updated videos here...

The iPad can be finicky at times. I recommend using a computer when building new workspaces. If you hover over the upper left corner of the block, you should be able to drag it.
I am considering Notion to manage To Do/Task lists and projects. Currently I have a mixture of lists on paper and in paper diaries and also I have a lot of information in Google Calendar and its task lists and gmail. Can I link calendar information that I create in Notion to Google Calendar, for example?
@@ProductiveDude Oh ok. I ask as there was that option at one time, I saw it on a short YT video on Notion. So will database inline be able to set me up to do a trading journal kunda like what I have on Excel?
@@Barbarian646 I recommend watching this video that I made on databases: th-cam.com/video/HeX_MH_Z-Bc/w-d-xo.html I would suggest using a full page database rather than inline. I go over that in this video. It’s definitely possible to create a trading journal. Another app that might be useful to check out is Coda. I recently released a few videos on it. :) May I ask, what is the trading journal going to be meant for? Logging all of your trade positions? Give me some more detail on what you want it to do. That might help. :)

Is it possible to link a page in one of the columns? Like instead of writing a title and creating a new page you link an existing page to it

Just one question: at 23:54 you go over these quick links to subpages. How do you make those?
Thank you!
To add a subpage:
just use "/"
then select page
name your page

Has there been a massive overhaul? Many of the features you talk about are simply not on the version I am looking at.
There shouldn't be anything too massively different. They may have moved some buttons around but the features all work pretty much the same.

*Tax Lien (pronounced, "lean")
Thank you.
Incredibly informative video, but I couldn't get over that. Came here to see if anyone mentioned this and was not disappointed.
Don't sweat mispronunciation. It's a by-product of reading more than hear.
It’s the ciiiirrrcle of finance!
how do u reorder the table sections? im using notion on ipad and i rlly dont know how to drag & reorder the sections
The iPad can be finicky at times. I recommend using a computer when building new workspaces. If you hover over the upper left corner of the block, you should be able to drag it.
Is there any integration between to dos on Notion and the Apple Reminders and/or Calendar systems?
Check out my most recent video for a calendar integration: th-cam.com/video/pG-UjWikZSU/w-d-xo.html
Good
Thanks!
how do u add different sections? like the workplace and private?
Private appears once you share something - so when you share a page you'll get the "shared" tab.
I am considering Notion to manage To Do/Task lists and projects. Currently I have a mixture of lists on paper and in paper diaries and also I have a lot of information in Google Calendar and its task lists and gmail. Can I link calendar information that I create in Notion to Google Calendar, for example?
Notion has its own built in calendar and you can achieve a Notion + Google Calendar integration with a third party API in Zapier.
i cant find the toggle for dark and light mode😑
Try CMD+Shift+L to toggle between dark and light mode.
5:52 you're welcome dark mode users
They will love you for this...
