    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.

    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 👍🙂

    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?

    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.

    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).

    • @EverydayApple1984
      @EverydayApple1984  5 років тому +1

      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!

      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.

    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 :-)

    • @EverydayApple1984
      @EverydayApple1984  4 роки тому

      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.

    Can I just ask a question? How did you place the topics (Personal, Projects) side by side? I can't do this in mine...

    • @EverydayApple1984
      @EverydayApple1984  5 років тому +2

      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.
