Ok….you’ve convinced me to try and not have an intro in my videos 😂 so satisfying to jump in immediately. Brilliant

[xavthomas]

I am watching this thinking that it has become irrelevant since March, but then 'BAM! 💥' a tip I've been wanting for YEARS!

[moalkahlout]

Leaving a comment to say I love your videos. They are creative, light-hearted, straight to the point, appropriately paced, and never feels self promotional (which is not easy to do). Thank you and have a wonderful week!

[francisco.j]

Jeff! I have seen thousands of Notion videos, but this one changed the way I used it more than all the others combined (including some of yours 😅). Here's my favorite topics:
- tab management (this one blew my mind 🤯)
- database navigation tips
- custom icons for columns
- Notion AI
- Buttons feature

[coreyanderson]

You'll never see a "video begins at 3:53" comment on Jeff's videos because he just gets straight to the damn point 🔥

[AlberToretto]

I just want to thank you for your CV redaction tips. I just applied them and as soon as I sent it I got the interview, and now I am waiting for the starting date. Thanks!! 🙏

[OMGKenny]

Even though I"m watching this 4 months later it was still so many 🔥🔥🔥 tips!

[Eparthon]

As always incredible video! Oh and stay hydrated!😁

[CutlerVisual]

Awesome video as always!
You can leave more than one column blank by just adding a space in the name, then 2 spaces in the next name, then 3 etc

[MatthewEaton]

Great stuff as always, my friend! Don't forget that there is always the plus button that will open the tab for you if you don't want to stumble over the keyboard shortcuts.

Not for us power users though. We have macros through our streaming service equipment that will do it all at a touch of a button, right?

Totally not me, of course haha

[DragonFistLeeMontage]

I want you to know that i subscribed purely because you referenced the original source. Only true OG’s do that

[tbrahadeesh]

Hey Jeff, this is your friend After a long time I am seeing your video is becoming good day by day

[Priyanshu.]

Nice Tips! That's why I always wait for your video.

[YelleIsonOfficial]

I just randomly arrived on your video and I love your vibe! New subscriber here!! This is a good productivity notion tips love it.!

[-iamlisa]

Super useful video again🙆‍♀ Absolutely love the tips for AI block, master DB + views, and tab management hotkeys! Would love to see you talk more about your methods for setting up and categorizing your master DBs in your future videos!

[DannyHatcherTech]

Thoughts while watching:
Loving the hotkeys, can you change them yet in Notion?
3 tabs why? Can't you open a page in a new tab when searching?
Obsidian can pin and drag tags - just saying 😆
Making edits from a dashboard is so helpful! I use that all the time in Obsidian.
I use Morgen for repeated meetings, tasks etc. The hotkeys and calendar sets make viewing things much easier.
Is there no table of the content tab you can use on Notion mobile? I use the outline for Obsidian on PC and mobile.
The term 'role prompting' needs to catch on.
Buttons in Notion seem really cool. I think Obsidian buttons are better, but nice to see Notion keeping in the race 😉

Other commenters please realize I am being sarcastic here with some points 😁

[peterdemuth]

Awesome video Jeff! Now I need to plan some time in my calendar to implement some of the tips :) By the way: linked Databases views have an arrow on top of their icon to illustrated that its linked and not the actual database.

[PaulShylko]

Amazing video, Jeff, as always! Should we expect an updated version of your daily/weekly planner page with buttons?😇

[victorwongyk]

Damn your videos are so damn entertaining. Thomas Frank performing Buttons cracked me up. Need THAT video.
