I watched many videos about how to use databases and this is the only one that really helped me. Thank you! You deserve my like.

Great I was kinda wondering how to do my business notes there thank you sooo much again, will be doing it in morning

[cammoore]

WOW, ! This is comprehensive and well thought out!

[KhalelFx]

Hey! I love your dashboard and it inspired me to create one myself!

[CavanScottWriter]

Fantastic video. Thank you!

One thing I have to ask: how do you get the different boxes / frames around different parts of your pages? Have you done a video on that?

[RobinNeyt]

Great and comprehensive video Simon! Thanks!
Another question: Which keyboard are you using?

[Blackdocks]

Thank you for adressing one of the main point of those systems, the 1 or 2 DB for notes / ressources or clipping. Still struggle to figure one or the other on my end
It feels weird to have information at 2 differnt levels (one in the ressource, one in the notes)

I still have no idea what Notion is or what it does, but it looks mind bogglingly confusing

[prashant-pume]

thanks for detailed Notion demo!! I was able to understand that this tool is not for me. I want to concentrate on my class notes rather than spending full time in learning how to make notes with this tool.

I want to build a knowledge/note database not knowing in advance how it will be used or how exactly I will want to structure it. So what I wanted to see in this video was a simple demonstration of making the actual note. The actual entry of the content of a note seemed to be just glossed over in this video. The first 8 minutes seemed to be irrelevant as I expect that structure to be built into the Life OS. I hope it is. The video then got very complicated with all the possible relationships that could be used. Maybe a slower, simpler introduction to notes is what I need even playing this at 75 or 50% speed.

Excelente video, agradezco que compartas tantas formas de usar Notion como herramienta de trabajo y productividad. Tengo una consulta o propuesta de tema a revisar en el futuro, las formas de salida de Notion y como usar todo lo que tenemos ahí en reportes externos, presentaciones, etc. Saludos desde Chile

Amazing content. I just switched from Evernote and want to better understand how to use Notion but in a similar way to how are used Evernote. It looks like how you described. Your life OS notebook system would be best for me. I couldn’t find that template on your website. Which one is it?

[samanthaskinner]

Hey Simon. A little late to the video here but I’m curious if you see value in making a video creating a system to track house chores. I’d be interested in learn how to schedule takes the occur daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly. Ideally these tasks would auto populate into some due task (due chores) database on the day they are due. There doesn’t seem to be too much content that’s actually helpful on the internet. Just thought I would put a bug in your ear.

Any update on when the simplified Notion template will be launched

[xhang]

Which video can I learn how to make the block border outline?

[TM]

All this time to organize and organize forever notes with complex feature. Question is do you read back your notes ?

[powermyapps]

The main problem is that taking notes takes up too much time. I spend 50% of my time at work just taking notes. That's why I quit taking notes instead of quitting my job. 😅

Bro, shut down the computer and get some sun light

Brother, are you obsessed with Notion? When do you live your life? Life is simple ….. live it. Don’t become a robot. God bless you.
