Comments on: What Is Notion? How I Use It To Organize My Workflow https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/what-is-notion/ Thu, 02 Oct 2025 03:39:54 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Emily McGowan https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/what-is-notion/#comment-11743 Thu, 02 Oct 2025 03:39:54 +0000 https://www.thegoodtrade.com/?p=27196#comment-11743 In reply to Meagan.

OMG, hah! I totally understand that. Systems have been so important to me, and Notion really helped me solidify them. Admittedly, I’ve been less diligent about my Notion use lately, but my brain absolutely feels it. I’ll have to check out Sab Yang! Thank you for reading, and for your recommendations, Meagan, sending you all the best!

I use the free version, and am testing the new features as they come! I think eventually I’ll upgrade, I’ve actually found the meeting notes tool to be quite helpful. Hope you find the best setup for you!

I had just heard of it when I started a new diploma (as a full time employed toddler mom 🙃) and I cannot overstate my gratitude for having used it from day one to house my notes, deadlines, program tracker, industry resources etc. I don’t remember life before it?! I found a YouTube creator called Sab Yang to be extremely helpful in dumbing it down and helping me to understand how it works. She has a school template broken down into courses and deadline tracking, which I built my own database off of – in case there are any other students in here needing help to organize their brains!

That’s great you’ve found something that works for you Angelica! I’d say it would be best to keep sensitive info out of the platform. Instead, maybe look into something like Keeper–it’s a vault where you can store those details with higher guarantees of security and privacy. Thanks for reading!!

I hope it works out for you Cindy! I’m also glad there’s a free version so I don’t get stuck buying something I’ll stop using in a month, hah, like all my planners 😳

I do use a regular planner and it works good enough for me, but I think there are certain things I need for Notion. Things I don’t need to move into my new planner yearly, or maybe things I don’t want in my planner at all, like sensitive information. Is Notion safe and encrypted? Can I put my card numbers, internet log ins etc in it?

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! My system is based on what I learned with Holisticism; you can hear more about their approach here as well as get drop your email to get a template for an Inbox. Here is a link to their Monday Hour One template too! I also suggest spending some time searching YouTube; I like to watch how other creatives are using their Notions for storage like this. I like to find people who work and think like me before I download their templates!

The novelty is what keeps me coming back and engaged too! I love playing with the colors and backgrounds, and the toggle lists are just a delight. Thanks for reading Jessica!
