Hey I appreciate you watching! Notion has been a huge upgrade in my organizational efforts. You all are awesome!
@@EverydayApple1984 So happy to hear! Please let us know if we can ever be of service. Love your UA-cam channel!
Thank y'all u for putting together an amazing app ❤️😁💕 love from the Philippines
you probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
First Notion tutorial that actually TEACHES tips and tricks without being verbose. Thank you!!
Hey thanks! Glad it helped
Definitely, the cleanest and most organised home page tutorial I've seen, and a great template to start off with. Just started using notion and I've checked out other tutorials and their setups were too messy to follow.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.
This is good for a beginning user like me who was craving just this sort of thing and who keeps on his workspace name hoping it will take me "home". Hope you come back and make more Notion videos!
Thank you. Finally a video that shows that fist home page and how to create it
Thanks for putting this together. Even after watching it almost a year after you published, it's helpful for a beginner like me to get started. Going to be watching more of your videos!
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for creating this tutorial. Had heard from someone I respect that they were enjoying notion - but didn't really know how to approach it. This tutorial gives a good window into getting started. Then hopefully from here I can figure the rest out. Also I like the tip at the end saying essentially "either nest under your home page, or keep the categories bare, then link in their sub pages" - that seems like a good approach also.
Thank you for the feedback! So glad it helped.
Dude thanks I was trying to follow some "Pros" and they were all over the place explaining all kinds of fancy layouts.. but I just couldn't follow.. You made it easy and simple to follow. And its a perfect beginner friendly template. Thanks
I appreciate the feedback!
very helpful. I watched and paused, watched and paused... every few seconds to execute what you did. thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback!!
Thank you, I can actually follow these steps.
I can’t thank you enough for this video. I’m new at Notion and have minimal experience with computers in general. You made this so easy to set up! Now if you could teach me how to work the databases, I’d really have it going on!
Glad it helped!
Thanks a lot for this tidy and learnable video. I just use Notion for a few days and till now your video is the best assist, l learn a lot of things from it.
Thank you for the feedback! Glad it helped!
very helpful, many thanks !!
Watched all your vids on Notion. Definitely got me to subscribe to your channel!! :)
I've been way to disorganized in the last couple of years. And have been looking for an organizational platform to assist in helping me get my life back. I have major adult adhd, and have way too many hobbies and interests. I am also self employed, and working towards starting a new business (few years out). I also have a hard time managing and remembering important and crucial information with friends, family, clients, etc
I was having a tough time deciding if I should go back to making regular use of Evernote again.
However I like the ability and freedom to lay out things as they exist in one's own head with Notion, That sold me!
Definitely going to dive into using this as my daily driver!
Also noticed an adhd article you had saved 👍👍 it can definitely be alot more to keep a handle on that most would know!
Keep up the awesome work! Am definitely looking forward to your future videos 👍🙂
Thank you for the kind words! Good luck on getting everything set up the way you need it. I continue to evolve on that front, learning as I go. I totally get the multi-focused aspect of having too many interests... story of my life!
Thank you so much for this tutorial,finally i learned how to set
Great to hear!
This is great, thanks very much. However when I create the Inbox, I get 'Gallery view' above the actual 'Inbox' page title. I know I can change 'Gallery view' to say 'Inbox' and remove the page title, but I can't style it or add an icon etc. How can I get rid of the view stuff?
Very good work! Thanks for this tutorial !
Thanks! Glad it helped!
Don't you think that some people feel the need to cram everything on their home page? Personally, I like toggles to keep home pages less cluttered.
I have a homepage for my day job and I’ve been using toggles like you described. I do like that a lot.
THANK YOU!! for showing how to make the cards in the Inline Gallery look more like a button than the giant cards. So many people show them and talk about them but that is the first time I've seen it done... I'm still struggling to move from Evernote. There are so many things I like about Notion but the key to everything for me is quick capture (Web Clipper, Mobile Share, Email Integration, etc) and Notion just isn't there yet (especially on Mobile).
Glad it helped! I hear you on quick capture. Notion has to keep improving on that front. I’ve overcome some of that with this inbox gallery approach and it also works great on my phone, but I do have a couple of template buttons that make it easier. I should do a video on Notion template buttons. SO many uses for them!
Notion has web clipper you need to install the notion adds on in the chrome browser
I forget about the Chrome extension, but yes that’s a great option. I prefer Safari, but a Safari extension is a bit further down the development priority list for the Notion team.
@@EverydayApple1984 yes I love notion though is a great app
Thank You Sir 👍🏽
You are very welcome
man i have watched 10 and this one helped me a lot .
thanks for such a noob guide :)
Glad it helped!
Thank you, your video is spot on for the beginner. I Got.
Thank you! Glad it helped
Thank you this is really helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
most helpful, thank you as a nascent user, thank you
New to Notion. great tutorial.
Thank you! Glad it helped.
thanks so much
Very Helpful. Thank you.
You didn’t show us how you created those categories. I’m having a difficult time duplicating your screen on the iPad app.
Would like to see your “Cigar and Pipes” page
if you were using lots of notebooks and less tags with Evernote then switch to Notion. Easy and enjoy the nice visual part of Notion. If you are using Evernote as it is intended to (Notebooks mainly for sharing content with others, Tags to categorize / organize) then keep using Evernote. Drop everything into it (Links, Images, PDFs, forward emails, ...) tag it, let it OCR your content and you‘re done :-)
Good point, though I don't know that I'd simplify it that much. There is a value for me in the ability to organize the information visually in Notion, and I don't mean just because of cover pictures and icons.
Thank you
You’re welcome!
Fantastic 🤗
how do you change the background color of a page to what you have? (something dark). I have looked everywhere...
Sorry I'm just seeing this! You may have figured it out by now, but in "Settings & Members" I set the "Dark Mode" toggle to ON.
Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Hi Jason! Did you try Nimbus Note?
No, not as of yet.
Great tutorial but I don't get why you need the web link and Notes/Ideas galleries you added at the start. Why not just make them as headlines like the rest?
I drop in notes and ideas there when I'm in a hurry and don't know how I want to categorize them yet.
Thanks, very good tutorial.
Glad it helped! 👍🏼
You should be doing more videos!
Thank you!! I'm on a pretty slow release schedule right now, but I hope to ramp it up soon!
Hello! This tutorial was really useful to me, thank you very much!!
Can I just ask a question? How did you place the topics (Personal, Projects) side by side? I can't do this in mine...
Glad it helped!! You have to drag the block you want on the side far enough over and up and then you’ll see the little line appear which indicates that you are creating a new column. I had a little bit of trouble with this myself until I realized how far over I had to drag the item to get it to create the column.
Outstanding job on this video, very easy to follow.
