Your videos have recently helped me get my Notion space to a place that makes me so happy every day when I use it. Love your videos, Simon. Thanks for the hard work you put in!

[mikenad]

What a smooth and beautifully produced video. Wow. Love

[ThatMarkGilroy]

That column setup tip for mobile is killer. Thanks!

[VincentForDesign]

Great stuff here, just stumbled upon your video and love it. One thing I found hard to follow the video is the zoom in zoom out animation sometimes a bit too much when the time in between is too short, it create dizziness, just a feedback.

Your motion graphics work is fantastic.

I am thrilled to have come across Better Creating! Simon, as somebody who only recently discovered Notion, I do not know whether I should purchase one of last year’s Life OS versions and begin customising it accordingly, or sit tight for a month and await the update (which I 100% want to invest in). While I am eager to get going immediately, I worry that manually updating my tailored workspace could take longer than customising the latest version from scratch. I hope that makes sense. Your guidance here would be most appreciated 😊

I am so much waiting for 3.0 :-) after I have seen this video. Thanks Simon, your content is so inspiring

[WheyAIman]

Thank you Simon for the great video. I bought the Icon pack, they are fantastic. I noticed on your Notion page you have a clock widget, where did you get it from? It looks great.

Nice Video- I love the aesthetics! When updating to your Notion 3.0 and going for the option with the icon packs included - will those be the notion icons only or will there be an option for life os 3.0 including all icons (ios and notion)?
thanks for making our workspace way more beautiful

I like how you've you've set up. One thing I wished to add is some form of visual hierarchy.

[JimShingler]

Great Stuff really liked the page design tips for mobile. I really like the global menu idea. One thing to be aware of, ... I put the global menu in my bullet journal template that I do every day. It worked great. I eventual ran into a problem where an new Bullet Journal Page became very very slow. It took me a while to figure it out, .... they synced block across a couple hundred pages caused the slowness. Once I broke the link, ... my pages were fast again.

I’m beginning to think that Notion is just something you spend the rest of your life setting up, designing, customizing, and “learning” to use, but never actually using in a real world situation.

[harshyadav]

Hey can you please make a tutorial on how to make a life planner in notion please

[jpsolis]

Hopefully we can see the new Complete L OS 3.0 soon!!

[Doanvanmanh]

How to edit icons of other apps besides Notion on your smartphone to look like that?

[johnguillen]

I am still confused on how to use Notion. There are so many drop down menus and grids where I don't know how to input information. I wish there was a class that I can learn very slowly. I bought the Ultimate Life Planner and I wish I can use it more often but it's confusing.
