Hey Thomas, been using Notion for a while now because of you and it has really helped me to set my chaotic head (and therefore chaotic life) back in order. So thank you! You're the man

[NerdSyncProductions]

Your templates and this channel are so immeasurably helpful! Especially for someone like me who recently found out I have ADHD and am trying to learn better skills to organize my life. Thanks for all your work and for sharing all your knowledge!

The keyboard shortcut for the Snipping Tool on Windows is: Window key + Shift + S, no need for a third party software! You can also enable a feature to take several screenshots and keep them in your clipboard, so when you Ctrl+V to paste you can choose the screenshot you want.

For some reason, I find the Desktop app to be much slower on both my Windows Desktop and macOS laptop. It's not like its a hardware constraint either...I'm running a M1 Pro laptop, and a i7-9700k w/ 16GB of Memory on an m.2 NVMe desktop. I use a Chromium-based browser on both, and it loads and runs so much faster in a browser. Anyone know why?

Stellar work! And you sound great too :) I've only just gotten into Notion, and videos like this have been a huge help

[vichitra-yt]

Frankly speaking...You are my official documentation, changelog and hackbook for Notion. Thanks for the quality content and the knowledge you provide. I am very grateful 🙏🏻 Love from India ❤️

[owenmurrayflows]

So excited to see how I can efficiently connect my otter to notion and love when you put these tips and tricks together!

[AleemKhan-ruhb]

( Win + Shift + S ) shortcut for snipping tool. Hope it helps.
Thanks Thomas. I owe my progress in notion to all of you. A life saver !

[DoctorAzmain]

These are some fantastic tips Tom, will definitely implement them! Your videos always remind me how much I have left to learn - about Notion and just life in general haha!
P.S. I love the glimpse at your muscle physiology notes, and your alternative thumbnails for video 029

[PattyBlogs]

Jam-packed with information, literally mind-blown by some of these. Thanks Tom, hope to see more from you whether on the main channel or this one!

Would be really cool to see some videos about the design considerations that went into building your templates. I was a big fan of UT, but I made a LOT of changes to the workflow to make it more gtd'ey. Now with UB I am once again making lots of adjustments, and it is surprisingly difficult to design adjustments without lots of kinks or leaks on the workflow.

For example, you explained this a lot with "cold tasks", about how there was a particular issue with low priority tasks clogging the workflow, and how you resolved that with the "cold" category. It would be awesome to learn about other issues that might commonly occur in people's custom workflows, and mechanisms to address them.

Oh wow! I thought I knew a lot about Notion but I learned some fabulously useful tips today - especially how to see 2 Notion pages at the one time. Thanks Thomas!

I bought the Ultimate Brain Notion Template. I MUST confess… it’s a banger and worth every penny.

[bOokWorM]

It is truly fascinating exploring these, sometimes, mind-breaking Notion features and hacks. I personally started using Notion, like, 10 days ago from your videos and recommendations, and I appreciate it. Thank you, Thomas

And sorry for my bad English, if it is

[billwebster]

I'm brand new to Notion & going to your Fundamentals. Thank you for your teaching.

[joaogritti]

Here early!! Just would like to reaffirm my appreciation for your work, I really look up to you. It's funny when you tell a sotry with your father, seemed mine shared a lot of the same philosophy with yours

[drikusconradie]

For the /turn command you can actually just press ctrl+/ and type 'tog' for a toggle, or 'bu' for a bullet point, or 'h3' for heading 3 etc. Technically faster.

[zdtvzpz]

Perfect one with a complete step by step details u had shown.. thx u !!!

[croppixelmedia]

The multiple windows trick is clutch. I had no idea you could do that! I legit had to go try it 😂

The toggles are game changers. Changes the whole way I put scripts/research into Creator’s Companion.

Your Timing is amazing, ... I have been resarching how to speed up Notion, ... Thank You
