Notion has LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE, my productivity, financial, reading habits, business tracking, time management, everything. It has been such a GOOD TOOL to have in these times. A good weapon in the creative arsenal for sure.
Same. I started with the PARA method and when I found August Bradley's Life OS system, it was game over. I use it for everything. I'm trying to introduce it a little here, a little there into my architecture firm.
Not only it is the most complete video on how to use Notion for remote team management. It has a unique flavor of humor that keeps you engage to the end. Love it.
Since everyone is sharing their experience, imma share mine. I'm a writer/artist by night and work as a digital marketing associate by day. I use Notion mostly for my personal practice and life. I've been using Notion for roughly a year and I really love it. I love being able to have pages and sub pages because it suits my personal style (I'm the type of person who has organised their data with folders within folders within folders). I also love the Google Drive embed feature because this way I can update my personal Google sheets for stuff like budgets from Notion without having to completely migrate. It's also my default writing app because I love the complete dark mode view and can export to Word for final submission, depending on the situation. Notion is a great app, and I understand that the immense freedom can make it hard to figure out how you wanna use it (took me a couple of months to reach a point where I was satisfied with my set up) but it's definitely worth a shot.
How do you export Notion Pages into a Word file? I dont find any way to Export my pages as Doc or Word file. Notion is a markdown editor not a Word Processor. Other Great Review, you explained a lot of key insights of Notion 🖤
Notion has been a game changer for all of my workflows since I started using it only a few months ago. It really has become my second brain, personally and professionally. I'm so glad that y'all use it too, I don't know how I got by without it!
I started using Notion after Matthew mentioned in one of his videos about productivity. As a freelance graphic designer it was a huge change. I had my info in multiple platforms and, as much as I loved being so organized, going from app to app to get what I needed. Now I have my own setup on Notion, and it's easily customizable according to whatever I need. Plus, it has a beautiful dark mode. PS: I even made my boyfriend who's a Civil Engineer to switch from Trello and Asana. He now thanks me.
I love Notion! Just started using it a few weeks ago. This video was sooo entertaining and informative! One of the best edited videos I've watch in awhile. Clear + Concise 👏🏽 I even added a few cards to my workspace! Thanks!
I am absolutely loving Notion. I just invested in the bulletproof notion workspace template and has completely changed how I organize my personal life and business.
COming back to say that, after watching this video I have experienced a quantum leap in how Notion is keeping my life and work organized. I am loving how it has the flexibility of designing a page section with different blocks, and having the power of a database under the hood. I patterned a project page setup similar to how you did it @benburns, and then tweaked a bit. THEN duplicated that template and dropping everything I am doing into those pages has been a snap. So grateful !
Very nice and to the point. I've been meaning to get into notion for a couple of years now, but keep feeling overwhelmed, or not finding the time to really dive into it in between projects. Anytime I see a Notion walkthrough, I feel like this would help me immensely. I'm going to give it another go over the weekend and start small to make it grow over time.
Sweeet! Thanks for the template! I was about to deep-dive notion today because I felt that there was a need for me to get things together other than just the bullet journal. This answers everything I need in 15 minutes. Thanks Ben!
Started using Notion middle of last month. Totally love it. Been sceptical about bringing the entire team on it. May give it a go after watching this and looking through the template
thanks, ben and Matthew for the great notion videos you really helped me get control of my life and plan my future as a creative. thanks, guys for your all videos and the effort you put into the video. actually a great work 100 out of 10 for you.
And now comments are even better! You can add attachments and see them all in a sidebar view. Notion has changed my life in a way I couldn’t imagine a couple of years ago
learning notion now. Gave up once because the freedom of making everything from scratch was too daunting, started again now though. Hope you guys could make some templates for sale or something! Would help alot
Just want to say that I loved the perspective of the talking head portion. Great lighting - what focal length was being used there - it looks wide but it doesn't seem to have any distortion typical of a wide-angle. Keep up the fantastic work!!!
Do a Blind and/or Futur Notion step by step training. How to build a creative team Notion. Basically, an update to the Project Management course that includes Notion. Just a thought.
This is awesome and a really good insight into how a team can use Notion. I also have been using the app for years and most of my life in it. So cool to see how you and your team use Notion, I have shared some of my use cases on UA-cam but I am always looking to learn how other people use the app.
One of your best videos guys! Thanks for the extra work invested, this took time :-) Oh, I'd love to see how Ben is using Notion in his personal field, why not making that video as well? Thanks!
I.LIVE.FOR.NOTION totally in love with it! who else has moved their life to Notion too? by the way, it'd be great to see some day how The Futur uses notion to manage content creation 😍
This is so cool (both the Notion platform and video editing)! Been looking for a platform like this to keep everyone on the team on track, thank you so much futur! Keep safe you guys!
Of course, I am speaking from a personal freelance standpoint instead of a team. I tried using notion trust me, multiple times I really wanted to integrate it into my life. But it's too slow for me and I spent more time customising my template to suit my exact needs than actually using it. No hate to Notion, I think the app is amazing. However, as much as there's so much freedom to do what you like, I need some kind of boundary for me to work in, a dedicated app specific to one function. Which is why I use Trello and Bear.
I definitely agree with you! 200% I think it’s An amazing tool! But just a bit too slow for me. The quickest app on any Apple device are the native notes and calendar. I doubled down on them. There are more features than you think lol things like I can drag a note straight to calendar and create an event. I have tried bear too and a big fan of trello for Kanban
Update: Turns out I'm giving Notion another shot, it's such a powerful app, maybe I'll try it again and hope I can carry on using it in the long run. Great video!
Love you guys, can you share your template? I know you are selling "a" version of it and that's awesome, but I can't see any reviews or evidence of it being updated (and notion has changed a lot in that time). Give me an excuse to give you money!
So many companies use Jira and I absolutely hate it. Now that I'm going freelance, I'm so excited to use a tool that will work for me. Thank you for the tips!!!
Notion is great. It has really changed up my business. BTW, do you employ anyone over 30 at Futur? Everyone in that Zoom call looked about the same age...
Thank you very much. This was the key decider for me to try Notion (used your link). I figure if it's good enough for Blind, it's good enough for me. And damn, am absolutly LOVING Notion now!
Lovely Creative Video! :) I am just starting using notion and i really enjoy it, thus I really need to learn what and how I want to track my tasks, hihi
+1 to all the comments appraising Notion. Have been a user for a year or so now. Use it personally daily and have onboarded my design team as well to keep track of everything. It's a life changer. I market Notion to everyone I meet for free :p It's so good.
Hmmm I have both (personal pro for my personal stuff), and I honestly can't tell a difference, other than having a workspace area that the team is automatically given access to.
Fantastic video overview! I'm a freelance designer and have known about Notion for a while now but use Milanote for my projects and ideation. The main thing I like about Milanote is the canvas-based layout approach (as I'm an old school designer, anything that replicates an A3 layout pad style was a lifesaver!). But as time went on I noticed that there are a few things that were not so great with Milanote due to this nonlinear methodology, which was task/todo workflow and scheduling. Everything is just and a bit laborious to set up, manage and keep track of getting things done. I've tried a lot of todo apps and settled on MeisterTask which is fantastic at what it does, but really hate spreading my time over multiple apps. This video has really convinced me to give Notion a try but wanted to know how other freelancers find it? Or if anyone can compare their pros and cons between Notion and Milanote?
@@MatthewEncina Thanks for the feedback. Couldn't agree more... my process works for me and my clients (but always keen to learn about other ways something could be done more efficiently if possible).

Same, i was a huge Workflowy user, trello airtable and evernote before that and Notion has solved a lot of the problems i had in one app
Same bro such an efficient easy tool!
@@JeremyMuradesign Please do some videos on how you're using that tool... pretttiii please :)
@@sliiide-dk Sure will add it to the list!
Same. I started with the PARA method and when I found August Bradley's Life OS system, it was game over. I use it for everything. I'm trying to introduce it a little here, a little there into my architecture firm.
The Futur uses Notion too? Yesssss!
you should check out their videos about productivity, they've mentioned it before
OG status.
Guess everybody uses it
Started using Notion a week or so ago. It's transformative! Give it time, give it love, and it will work wonders for you.
Not only it is the most complete video on how to use Notion for remote team management. It has a unique flavor of humor that keeps you engage to the end. Love it.
I just started using Notion a few months before!
This is the best tool I've ever worked with
Totally agree hehe
I have no current need for this but must say I really enjoy how Ben delivers this story. Well done
Thanks so much, Andrew!

@@zobayerarnob I don't export into word, I export into pdf then convert that to word 🤣
got it...
Loved the folders within folders within folders. That's so me 🤭
Yep, my entire life is on notion too. Incredible tool.
Lord help us if it ever goes away.
You have no idea how helpful this was! Also, "giving the team time & space to get things done" THAT part!
Notion has been a game changer for all of my workflows since I started using it only a few months ago. It really has become my second brain, personally and professionally. I'm so glad that y'all use it too, I don't know how I got by without it!

I didn't get Notion to start with... but now after spending some time on it, I realise it's incredible.
I’m a college student interning for design and Notion is literally a life-saver!!
Notion, if you're reading this, MAKE WIDGETS!
I'll switch to notion from trello the day you introduce widgets, WE WAITING
all android users are waiting for that
They have about 4 Wigets for IOS now.
One of your best videos! Love the concept, humor, storytelling... everything! It was also great to meet other members of the team. Amazing job ya’ll!
And to add... Notion is the bomb.com!
Thanks so much! We did work on this one hehe.
I am absolutely loving Notion. I just invested in the bulletproof notion workspace template and has completely changed how I organize my personal life and business.
I've started using Notion from Mathew and totally love it. Please keep create contents like this more!
YES!
This is pure gold!! Not only for notion but for the process!! Thank you!
Right on! Hope we dropped some knowledge along the way.
Loved the video, and the throws made it feel like you are guys are sitting next to each other, purpose fulfilled.

Do it! Start small. I started using it to organize a meal plan

Right on! I can't seem to carry a notebook consistently. But my phone doesn't stray far.
No way! Literally watched Matt’s videos this morning and downloaded Notion. I love you guys so much!😁🙏🙏 thank you
Notion has completely changed the way i do things and quite literally changed my life's trajectory....Really amazing product
also, 1:18 is sooo cute
Started using Notion around 2 weeks ago, really is a life changer, or life simplifier
This is very well executed video, from your desk to my screen at home
Started using Notion middle of last month. Totally love it. Been sceptical about bringing the entire team on it. May give it a go after watching this and looking through the template
the paper transition was the hit ahahah
I've already notion installed, but I've never took a closer look. Till now. Thanks guys
Hahaha yea that was fun
Thank you guys for always being awesome!
Our pleasure!
We use Notion, Jira, Slack, Figma, Webflow for our stack. Some great information man! Thank you!
Whoa Jira... big dog software right there.
@@mrbenburns My wife and I are big fans of you guys and what you do for the creative and design communities. Keep it up! Much respect.
Love you guys, love the humor and the paper ball transition
I love how diverse your team is! 🙌
Me too :)
It's amazing how you guys managed to make a team management video that is both useful and hilarious. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Love this video. That’s for showing a little bit of your process!
So glad!
Thanks David!

She totally is hehehe
Notion was a game changer for me and my company. Got some great ideas from this video! Thanks for sharing.
Love the sneaky project management 101 in this video.
Sneaky Sneaky!
Great video guys. Notion's been really helpful for me as well so far. The template in your bio isn't allowing access, FYI.
Perfectly executed video for notion 👌
Thanks! Walking the line between too salesly and bringing in sponsorships is a tough balance.
learning notion now. Gave up once because the freedom of making everything from scratch was too daunting, started again now though. Hope you guys could make some templates for sale or something! Would help alot
Really wish I hadn't written my comment before finishing the video haha.. thanks for the template!
Oh Notion my fav platform
Me too
I've been going back and forth with this and this video definitely helps my decision. Thanks for being creepily timing!
We knew. We can't say how. But you're welcome!
This was so much fun to watch. I've been hesitant to learn new tools but I'll jump on this
Very helpful & uplifting & well made video, thank you!
Love the humour! Well done Ben ;)
Just want to say that I loved the perspective of the talking head portion. Great lighting - what focal length was being used there - it looks wide but it doesn't seem to have any distortion typical of a wide-angle.

Do a Blind and/or Futur Notion step by step training. How to build a creative team Notion. Basically, an update to the Project Management course that includes Notion. Just a thought.
I would love that!
Love it! Thank you so much :) Love the team
Same here , using notion for long time ! Great tool
I'm super impatient about the course regarding Notion and Project management. :))

Been waiting for this video. Yey
nice to see ppl from romania here :)
Exactly my thought!

Great share! Having a proper project management software has really changed our productivity and team sanity.
Super great video. Thanks! 👏🏻
Ben we want an office tour 😁 yours looks great 🤠
Nice work. Comprehensive, a good guide to contemporary marketing and generous in spirit. Thanks.
Thank you, Olaf!
Loove Notion and I loove you
One of my all-day work apps, Notion is awesome and very simple to learn and use.
Once you figure out the / key, it's all over with.
So many companies use Jira and I absolutely hate it. Now that I'm going freelance, I'm so excited to use a tool that will work for me. Thank you for the tips!!!
Really good video. Please more of this!
Thanks so much!
This video is really awesome
Loved this video ❤️!
You're my favorite.
Don't tell the rest.
Thanks guys!.. Really appreciate it.

Lovely Creative Video! :) I am just starting using notion and i really enjoy it, thus I really need to learn what and how I want to track my tasks, hihi
This video was refreshing
Super creative and helpful! Thank You!🙏👍
Had no doubts this was going to be incredible, efficient and I was right. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Cheers Ben! Definitely looking to use Notion more. Didn’t know there were Kanban boards on it!
This is so helpful (and fun to watch!)
Brutal!! I use this to do Design systems and it´s amazing
Nice!
Shout outs to Ben for coming on camera to make more content! 😁 And one more shout out to the dude at 00:18 with the custom key caps on the g710+ 🙏
Thanks, doesn't Alex's battlestation look sweet?!
Hi there, I'm really interested in buying this template, but I was wondering if it has been upated since it's creation in 2020 or not. Thanks!
+1 to all the comments appraising Notion. Have been a user for a year or so now. Use it personally daily and have onboarded my design team as well to keep track of everything. It's a life changer. I market Notion to everyone I meet for free :p It's so good.
M a college student and YES is a powerful tool!
Lol.... "Already done. Gone fishin'" ...... love it
I Loved everything about this Video
I thought that paper ball was gonna hit Alex on his forehead! 😂😂
How dow we get access to the notion file? It says I don't have access to it :(
Can't download the template boss.
I took a peak out of curiosity and I fell in love right away, what the heck?! Now excuse me for a bit while I go build my lists LOL.
The / key unlocks the software: try it
I love Notion!
Great Videos, Boss.......
Love Notion
Same
Working with teams, have you seen a difference between the personal pro plan vs teams?
Hmmm I have both (personal pro for my personal stuff), and I honestly can't tell a difference, other than having a workspace area that the team is automatically given access to.
MrBenBurns Awesome, thanks for that. Been looking for ways to organize projects with my college organizations with the college student budget! 😭
