After watching several "How I Use Notion" videos and being completely overwhelmed, I'm thrilled to have found your course. Thank you!

[hokongph]

Hi Thomas! I binge-watched your entire video over the weekend. It's beneficial both in terms of tips and thinking about how to organize work. Thank you so much for making this series. 🙇

[MargAbbottYou]

Fab, thanks Thomas! Had been cracking on doing stuff but with lots of independent pages. So good to see a basic building block and see clearly how they're MEANT to be used! Looking fwd to working through the rest of this series!

This has been a massive help to me as I work to learn and master Notion for myself and plan for the rollout of it to my team of 10 users for work collaboration and their own personal project management. Thanks, Thomas!

[Nicole-zrme]

Thank you. You're the first YouTube out of a number that actually explained this well. I needed it this broken down.

[HomeKeepingChannel]

Thank you for my first intro to Notions - Even though it changed a bit I was still able to follow and I am looking forward to the next lesson. This is going to help me stay organize.

Pluses - Starting from the beginning but not too slow paced. Even if you are already an avid Notion user you might find a tidbit. But Thomas does not make assumptions about his learners, he explains the concepts and that usage in a straightforward way. He also provides a context for when you might use these features. Level Up: Although this is a top-tier youtube video, the learning could be extended with an invitation to apply the learning to create a notin page independantly.

Thanks Thomas. This video is so helpful giving me a well-paced introduction to pages (and clarifying for me the difference between pages and blocks). I am now onto the third video in your fundamentals course, and the others have been equally good. I also appreciate having the information in both video and text format, as well as the templates.

Dude, your references to stuff, like Neuromancer and the universe on the back of the turtle, are on point! Also, this was super helpful. I thought I was going to get one or two nuggets out of this. This was all the nuggets, all the time

[CortneySalerno]

So helpful as always. I've just starting switching over from Evernote and Trello. So far, I'm loving it.

[alexs]

Thanks a ton for doing this course, Thomas! I've been wanting to learn how to better use Notion for a while now; it feels kind of intimidating and I haven't taken the time to really sit and fanagle with it so I just use basic pages for note-taking. The lesson was clear and helpful; greatly appreciate you showing everything (including keyboard shortcuts)! Looking forward to future lessons =D

[IrfanBhanji]

Very impressed with the new full screen intro transition for the channel.

[achrafgr]

[mazaika_ferment]

[KyleGallant]

Not only did you teach me a bunch about notion, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear a Discworld reference with the mention of a Turtles all the way down. The Great A'tuin would be pleased.

[faisalkhandotcom]

Thank you for doing this. Searched many videos --- but yours are the best...

[justacuriousguy]

Thank you so much for making these videos I wanted to use notion for so long but the thing was just too daunting for me to even get started.

[citi]

Well this was more useful than the ton of notion videos I've watched. Let's see how the rest of this course goes.
