This has to be the best guide for someone new to notion. All the other youtubers are showcasing THEIR own tasks and what they use notion for whereas you're showing us all the options that a beginner can utilize notion for... keep up the good work 👏

[jonbbradie]

Super helpful. Never hit pause so many times!

2 minutes into the video and I already know that I'll be watching and rewatching the whole thing! This quality of content is only possible from someone who has actually mastered productivity. Going to hit the goldmine and binge-watch all your videos in the weekend. Thanks for all the effort!! Love from India ❤🙏

Dude thanks so much good luck with your path we love you

I found NOTION through some random book recommendation that led me down a crazy RABBIT HOLE. This dame rabbit hole led me to several experts training videos. The problem was that they spoke like experts, in other words they did not explain enough for someone very new to the whole database note taking style to actually understand what they were saying.
You are a fantastic teacher! You explain enough without letting it become long winded, and you explain relevance as well. Very very chuffed to have found your videos.

Forty-nine minutes of value. This video is worth a like and a save. I just noticed you have an update for 2023. I'm headed there next. Thanks!

I've been watching YouTube vids for 2 days and still clueless as to where to start. All I see are other people's "aesthetic" notions, which are of absolutely no use to me.
So glad I found this. And I will deffo be saving this vid and rewatching over n over and using the majority of these tips.
Now I've got all the ideas, I don't know which to do first off to go finally sort out my own notion. Thank you x

[tiny.kawaii]

One year old and still the best video I've found about Notion. Very helpful, thank you for the work that went into this.

[myroadpeace]

Omg you have no idea how thankful I am for this video! I’ve been struggling with Notion and now I feel like designing my own pages is doable! THANK YOU!!!!

[JhonMartinezMD]

I downloaded Notion during my postdoctoral research fellowship 2 years ago...However, I used it just for basic stuff. Today, I downloaded it and used it for my daily notes during my surgical residency. I was lost and your video IS JUST AMAZING! Thanks!

[jayrromarate]

The best guide to NOTION.... Thank you Productive Dude!

[agniveshsharma]

First time saw a video on Notion which is created only to help and guide on various important topics - and not to sell Notion templates like others.

Thank you very much

[lotta_lip]

I wish ever app and device had a Dark Mode!!! This video was very helpful for navigating Notion!

[morganellabean]

Incredible comprehensive tutorial! Even just the first few tips were ones I've been trying to figure out all day. I'm brand new to Notion but I've decided to use it to organize my entire life. I've spent the whole day getting my Notion set up how I want it, watching videos for how to use Notion, and seeing other people's setups to draw inspiration from. There were several things I wanted to copy from other people's templates that none of the tutorial videos explained. Now I know how. Thank you so much for this deep dive.

[thethdecade]

I'm watching this video on my TV. I started using Notion about a month ago. You've opened up a whole new world of things I can do with this app. Thank you so much. I see you have a full tutorial so I'll be sure to watch it also. Many thanks for taking the time to research and produce a video so full of awesome content.

[lenkapalanova]

You are amazing! Really, I have watched a lot of tutorials for using Notion but I always come back to you because your teaching technique and the way your videos are made is just so user friendly. And that is exactly what a beginner Notion can rely on. Thank you for your work!

[shahfinancialsapeur]

I agree with a lot of people here. Thank you for sharing. I’m going to save the video so I can keep revisiting it.

[alexfeitosa]

Everything I needed to know in a single video is enough to justify my first contribution for a youtube video. Heading up to the playlist. Thanks for your great work

[lettucecat]

this is what ive been looking for sure showing how u use ur notion is great but as a beginner its always a good start to know how things work

[studiousbliss]

The best part about your notion guides are that you provide a detailed video on them. Completely obsessed with your notion videos. Just completed watching your 3rd tutorial!!! thank you !!
