    Clearest explanation of using Notion I have seen. I can stop trawling through other second brain videos (for now) and follow yours.

    people waste a hell lotta time watching videos on how to make their notion pages more aesthetic instead of working their way towards achieving things in life notion increases your dependency on your phone and time blocking doesn't really work that way because in life not all the conditions are ideal

    Damn, this looks soo overwhelming... My dream Notion feature is getting the flexibility of databases but having the clean & minimalistic look of a simple [ ] checkbox list

    Hey Simon! Awesome video. Curious what the timeline is for the 2024 iteration of your complete LifeOS refresh is. I think I recall it dropping in April, is that still accurate? I do not want to spend a bunch of time really filling out the old version if I am going to have to transfer everything over to the new version soon so I am in a sort of holding pattern with a lot of my project management and would love to get into the new and refreshed system soon! Thanks!

    Great video but after watching it all i realized my specific requirement - finding a replacement for evernote. Do you have any videos that can help in this regard? I'm eager to use notion for its clean design but getting started has been overwhelming.

      Hey - i feel you - check out my Simplified Notion Life OS template and playlist - it could be great for you: This video is the full tour: ua-cam.com/video/vby0FjH1ob0/v-deo.html and this one is specific to Notes and Clippings section of it: ua-cam.com/video/VTz1oyi5v-E/v-deo.html

    Hi Simon. Thanks for that video. I was one of the "overwhelmed" that commented on a previous video and this one has started to clear away the confusion and help me get started from first principles. I'm going to give Notion a 2nd try and will use the free version to just learn the basics, follow your guidance on this video and build up - before I think about migrating my current content and the way I manage my life currently. Great intro - thanks. I did have a couple of questions or suggestions - 1) Is there a way to download all of the content that is created in Notion so a user can back it up (on iCloud for example or an external drive)? if so, perhaps that's a good subject for a future video if there isn't one already. 2) Do you have any idea when Notion will be allowing integration with Outlook calendar (not just Google calendar)? Thanks again.

    I really want to organize my life with notion and I appreciate you for making a video on how we can get started. I can say from Experience that Notion isn't "intuition-friendly" to navigate with hahaha. Maybe just a suggestion, if Notion can be similar to a social media platform that we use daily and already know, it should be easy to navigate. Thanks and I'm going to try Notion again xD

    • @BetterCreating
      @BetterCreating  2 місяці тому +1

      You can do it! Yes, a little learning and it unlocks! Do feedback to Notion- they tend to listen: but it is definitely designed to be ubiquitous - not a complete ready made UI ! :)

    I would love to watch your videos because they seem very educational. Unfortunately, I have a TBI, I have difficulty with the background music during dialogue, and you don't do CC. WTF man.

      @BetterCreating  Місяць тому

      Thanks and sorry to hear that, now I have improved the mic set up I’m actually looking at removing some music on videos soon. Let’s see. :) CC is available - you can just turn them on.

    Great introduction but I'm wondering how many of these features are free vs paid? For example, I tried creating my own task management list only to find that if I wanted my completed tasks to be deleted, I had to become a paid user.

    • @BetterCreating
      @BetterCreating  2 місяці тому +2

      Everything I’ve built on Notion (Complete Life OS System) has been on the free plan other than the database automations: task manager is very doable on free and just using a filter for completed tasks is the best way. :) so all good!

    How did you get system database under task database. Approximately 9- 10 minutes mark

    • @BetterCreating
      @BetterCreating  День тому

      The top tasks view is a linked database view. Or ‘table view’. So main database is at the bottom as system database, and the. I create various dashboard views linking to that. How I make all my Notion systems. :)

    The video was great, but it would be better if you were using Notion in Dark Mode. It was very unpleasant to watch the video with this all white screen.

    • @BetterCreating
      @BetterCreating  Місяць тому +2

      Thanks for watching! overall, I’ve had more comments saying the opposite when I did dark mode I’m afraid! Old videos are in dark mode and many people find this harder to follow :) thanks for the feedback.
