Thank you for being the only person on Youtube who teaches Notion in a sensible, detailed format. I am a complete beginner without coding experience, so I need the most basic of basics and your videos have been so helpful. I appreciate that you start at the beginning and create a foundation of knowledge that builds over time; it's the most linear and comprehensive way to teach, imo, and makes retention so much easier for the student.

Carter... Really?! My God you've done it! You have created the definitive guide to Notion Databases. Finally an explanation without the super fast-talking experts racing through many features essentially showing off how adept they are at using Notion while losing their watchers. Now... if YOU created a course on Notion along the same lines (tone & tempo) as this video, you will be super successful... You will have my money in a flash... even if I know much of what's in the course, it will be my reference go-to Notion help. Thanks Carter. Great job!!!

Thank you Carter. I was THIS close to giving up on Notion but you saved the day! First of all, thank you for recording in a pace that didn't require me to slow down the video speed. This is a complex topic yet others talk so fast. You presented complex information with clarity and therefore it was easily consumable and enjoyable. I really appreciate your teaching style for beginners. I sure do hope Notion is sponsoring you; you deserve it. Thanks again. P.S. I wish you had been my Algebra tutor back in the day! Have a great day! 👍🎉

[JonMero]

Mr Carter, you sir are an EXCELLENT teacher! I clicked on this video with little hope of making it the full hour and 18 minutes...but because of your teaching style, I sat here and took it all in in one sitting! My anxiety as to whether or not this was going to "click" quickly turned into excitement, because I was absolutely taking it all in. EXCELLENT man!!! Thank you for every second you spent prepping and executing this tutorial. I'm pumped!

[w.brandon]

Dude, it’s taken me awhile to warm up to Notion! So glad you’re still here to “light” the way! Thanks for your guidance, and dedication! Let’s do this!

[KennyCutz]

Hey! If you ever wanna talk about your process of video production I'm here! You've already given me tons of value so I owe you. I'm a 20 year industry professional working with everyone from Nike to Disney... All of this is a game changer for what I'm currently building.

[suhanichaudhary]

Finally!! Someone explained notion in understandable manner !!❤❤

[skylerjknight]

Very in depth. Thanks ~
Btw, I think you can simplify your days left formula to the following:

format(dateBetween(prop("Due Date"), now(), "days")) + " Day(s) left"

Or here is a formula that will detect and write out "1 Day left" / "2 Days left" / (blank), depending on the number of days:

empty(prop("Due Date")) ? " " : ((dateBetween(prop("Due Date"), now(), "days") > 1) ? (format(dateBetween(prop("Due Date"), now(), "days")) + " Days left") : (format(dateBetween(prop("Due Date"), now(), "days")) + " Day left"))

For a moment i thought i have paid for this content 😳. This is probably the most authentic and realistic Notion tutorial I have ever seen. The amount of details you've put in is marvelous. Thank you for your time and effort, really i've learned so much.

[mohammedgalal]

You are really an awesome person personally and technically. You teach with honest behavior to ensure the delivery of the ideas, not like a lot of YouTubers, who want only to upload videos and get views. I am not an English person, however, I was able to understand you and get most of your explanations. Thank you, brother.

[lifeisabeginning]

I run an ecommerce marketing agency and am watching your series to redo our workflow and create a streamlined system for our team and clients. Thanks for the value

[alex.velasco]

Bravo! I've been using Notion for about a year, and relying on the database functionality quite a lot. Still, I learnt a bunch of stuff from you. Thank you!

[tacene]

7 mins in and already in love with this, teaching is definitely an art seldom known.

[justjacquelyn_]

Yes sir. You taught me what I needed to know to start creating my databases the way that I need them to be. Thank you so much for your time and energy that you put into this MASTERCLASS!!

[frocka]

WOW! One of the best tutorials on Notion that I have seen on YT. Thank you.

[Zen-Admin]

I've been looking for this information for so long! You are an excellent teacher. Keep doing these tutorials, we need you out here! I clicked the thumb's up, the bell and I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Thank you!!!

[davidnichols]

Awesome! 78 minutes with 37 topics. You not only presented the beginner's guide, but you also made it practical. I want to get up & start training for the maybe not! lol Have aq great day.

[Zafar_Kahn]

You’re the only one whose tutorial I understand. Thank you 🙏

[jboyd]

Absolutely refreshing. I love the idea about creating databases you want first and then relating them to one another. I didn't think of that. It is an absolute game changer for me since I'm someone who is easily overwhelmed. Now, I can work on one page at a time until it's to my like instead trying to make intricate systems to relate to one another without knowing what I need!

I just came here from your 2022 Notion Tutorial. When I first got Notion, I deleted it within days. Didn't know what to do, and didn't know which tutorial to watch. Today, I spent some time diving into Notion and really pulling apart the tutorials and seeing which are helpful, and which, are not. I went through 5 tutorials before I stumbled across your 2022 explanation. I now effectively, and efficiently know and understand the BASIC skills needed to use Notion. You are a BRILLIANT teacher for this APP. Tone, tempo, explanation, thoroughness, you take your time. I especially like how you do not just SPEED through and show us how proficient YOU are at Notion, but rather TEACH us how to be better ourselves.

Thank you for doing this, I would have given up on Notion again if it wasn't for your tutorial.
