Notion

Notion is an all-in-one workspace that combines notes, docs, wikis, databases, and project management. Everything is built on blocks that can be moved, nested, and connected.

Think of it as a digital notebook that can morph into a spreadsheet, kanban board, wiki, or full project management system.

How I Use It

Notion is the central hub for organizing my work and thoughts:

• Project Tracking — Each app has a page with goals, tasks, and resources
• Reading List — Track books with ratings and notes
• Weekly Planning — Review and plan each week in a dedicated database
• Writing — Blog posts and documentation start as drafts here

Key Shortcuts

• Cmd+N — New page
• Cmd+P — Quick search across all pages
• / — Open block menu to insert anything
• [[ — Link to another page
• Cmd+E — Toggle inline code

Why Notion

I've tried many note-taking apps. Notion stuck because of its flexibility—I can build exactly what I need without being locked into templates. Databases that display as tables, boards, or calendars are powerful. The main trade-off is speed (it can feel slow) and limited offline support.
