How I Created a Notion System to Learn Coding FAST

I have been using a program called Notion to essentially manage my entire life for like the past 2 years now, everything from setting goals to book notes to just organizing my ideas and generally using it as a repository of information.

And now that I’m a full-time software engineer I have found even more use cases for Notion to use for my programming projects, course notes, and a bunch of other stuff, so I thought I’d make this video to describe exactly how I use it and how a system like that could literally change your life as a software engineer, or someone learning to code, or just in general really.

MY FREE CLASS:

CHAPTERS:
0:00 Why Notion?
2:22 Why you NEED a system
3:12 How Notion works
6:40 How I Take Notes & Track my Learning using Notion
9:54 How I Track my Coding Projects using Notion
10:25 How I Expand my Knowledge using Notion

WHO AM I?
On this channel, my aim is to give you the tools, strategies and methods to learn to code effectively - according to science! In addition, I document my life as a self-taught software engineer.

Wanted to say that thank you for all the motivating work you do! I personally am a self-taught developer as well and have been working for over a year now. Very delighted to see a like-minded person out here teaching people how to be better versions of themselves! Kudos! Keep up the work!

If ever possible, would absolutely love to chat and connect with you! Take care!

I picked a niche and started with JS course 3 weeks ago, and WOW, Notion helps SOO much - I was really surprised how organized and structured all information is when putting there and how easy it is to review it after. Thank you so much (started using it after watching other your videos) 🙏💚

I have been using notion because of Toumas for over a month now. It is such a big help. I have even fork your CS notes(the one you modified from OSSU) and edit it a little to suit my needs in learning. Great video as always.

Found you on my FYP since my algorithm is focused on programming (which I'm learning right now). High quality content, instant sub! Keep up the great work.

I was searching for how can i track my coding projects and learning on notion and i think this is the best video .Thank you very much for making this video

[pejko]

Great timing! Thank you so much! I just started internship a few days ago and I was using notepad and just this morning I was wondering should I use word, or is there something better. I love that you can save images, because I store them in my viber notes. So excited about this

I love your passion. Great video, I will definitively give Notion a shot.

[sarimjokhio]

Hey, man. You're such a good teacher while teaching things yourself as well. I learned a lot of things from you and am still learning. When I started programming while learning basics I taught myself how to type faster like at 80 WPM. My suggestion to you is that also practice typing to save yourself a lot of time. Thanks again for all these lessons for us.

Wow thanks so much for this I learn so much and I did realize how much notion could help me.

Where are your templates? Loads of links, but none for the templates?

[brijeshkumarchavda]

Thank you for this. It was beneficial. This will help to learn ReactJS and organize concepts and their resources.

[afro_habesha]

nice setup where is the link for the template though

[AbsolutelyFeral]

I can't see the link to the templates?

[leslybrisson]

Where are the templates you mentioned in the video? i don't see them

[rudrashishdasgupta]

Watching this a year later. I am a 28 year old man. I love you

[bevik]

To be honest I tried to use Notion but it might take more time to organize and do notes than actually learning something by doing. But I might still take notes from my React and TypeScript learning. Will give it a 2nd try I think.

[mariohermes]

Can you disponibilize the programming notes template ?

[carlosarturosulbaran]

Hey where can I find the programming notes template ?

[JoolieEm]

Hey, thanks for the video!
I was wondering, how did you stay motivated in your journey of becoming a programmer?
I'm having a tough time, learning javascript/jquerry at the moment and I feel like no knowledge stay in my head and I'm thinking - is this for me or is the subject boring or the way the trainer shares his knowledge...

[YumiShinigami]

Hi Tuomas! I think the Notion link is not working anymore because I cannot access your template. Can you please share it again?
