How I Use Notion for School | University Notes System for Back to School! 📚 (+ free templates!)

Today we're getting organised, productive and efficient with a lil tour of how I use Notion for school -- how I make class notes on Notion, how I use Notion for university and how to make your Notion aesthetic and useful!! I hope you find it helpful 💐

Notion Templates: (go on them and just hit "duplicate"!)
Most of my templates were adapted from those made by Amelia Kroner (a Notion Queen!).
She has created INCREDIBLE templates such as the "My Life Hub", which includes everything from a Daily Notes sections, to the "Forest of Ideas".
Kroner's templates have been life-changing! Maybe they can do similar for you :)
My uni hub was inspired by Mayer Raphael Adelberg:

I agree with you about it being complicated. I used to hear so many people rave about it, but I downloaded and deleted it 3 times before I could really figure it out. It has SO MANY features it literally overwhelmed me. This video is so helpful for learning new things to do in notion i didn’t know how to make a toggle list now I do!

[danielbautista]

Notion is a good tool but don't forget that it's not end-to-end encrypted. It's not safe for private information, fyi. Other than that it's invaluable for many purposes.

[luv.thalli]

the learning curve for notion is STEEP asl
i had downloaded it at least 4-5 times before actually getting the hang of it
now im obsessed w it and have been recommending it to all of my friends 😭😭 who are still in high school

[jellystrawberry]

The notes template is absolutely amazing. It’s like the perfect active recall, “does this make sense can i explain this to a five year old”, organized note taking system ever!! I would add a way to apply spaced repetition tho but overall SO SO SO HELPFUL JADE!! Im starting uni tom so this also came at the perfect time. I love you. Best of luck on your dissertation!

[marias]

Jade, I’m so grateful that you recommended Notion!🌿 I’ve used it during my first year at university and it’s been a real game changer. I use the toggle function to make questions which makes it so easy to go back and use active recall and spaced repetition✨

[khalilahd.]

I honestly loved watching you thrive this summer but I’m so happy to have my study buddy back! Your uni vlogs are always so relatable and motivating 💜 good luck with this school year Jade! I know you’ve got this!

I'm 31, going back to college in a week on Monday, currently working weekends with the NHS and someone told me about notion, so I downloaded it, and now I've made a table of all the courses/universities I've been interested in, made a Top 5 column to tick the 'big five' and then organised by how many UCAS points, so that I start making that application profile in a few weeks.

[someonenoone]

I actually got notion from when you made that first video of it like 2 years ago and its honestly changed my life ever since thanks to you!!

[dng_mark]

Your infectious smile and laugh throughout this video talking about something you were so passionate about. Really made me smile during this great video. You have an amazing personality.

[moon-ia]

I love that she speaks with a huge smile on her face, such a mood booster

[JazzminelLocher]

I use notion as well for my school, my personal hobbies, to-do lists and even a book I'm working on. I love notion so much.

[vandakovacs]

This is my first year starting university, and I wanted to use notion but didn't know how to start. This video helps so much, thank you I really needed some help. Have a lovely day🌻

[howisgamora_]

my friend and I literally JUST talked about using this app last night, this guide could not have come at a better time

[connorliamgraham]

I was just thinking about how much I wanted to level up my Notion game, this video came at the perfect time. Thank you Jade, keep up the amazing work!!

[laramarieclaire]

Hey Jade! You were the one who showed me Notion a few years ago and it CHANGED completely my uni life. Plus it’s so fun!! Thank you 🌞🌞🌞

[JennyKendall]

You changed my uni & graduate life with Notion. Thank you so much for sharing, you’re a huge inspiration and videos like this make a huge difference! ✨✨

[MoversGuild]

Just started my first in-person year of uni and after only two weeks of notes, I'm already disorganized. Never had used Notion before, spent a couple hours this morning figuring out your templates and making an account.

[rebekkazee]

Thank you so much Jade!! I came back here now as I'm starting with Notion and I can't thank you enough <3

[mellowmemos]

Wow this was such a timely video! I just started medical school recently and have been experimenting using the toggle function on Notion to phrase my notes into questions, it helps a lot with the active recall! Kind of like a second Anki :)

[gayanifernando]

Hey Jade! this is the first video through which I was exposed to your channel. I watched it on 4th Sep Sri Lankan time and I must say, from that day I have been watching vide after video of yours. Love them all!!! I admire your discipline, clarity, confidence and friendliness. THANK YOU SO
