Notion: An amazingly productive note taking app
2 min readJun 3, 2021
There are tons of productivity tools but none like Notion. Initially I didn’t start using notion even though I knew about it because I felt it was too complex for a mere note taking app. It took some time before I could see the real beauty of it. I am sure you will feel the same.
⭐ Features

🧍 My personal way of using Notion
- I use Notion for all my notes and content creation.
- I use it to keep track of all my project ideas, stock trading and my finances.
- I create todos and set reminders on them. You can set reminders as well.
- Sharing notes is really easy, you can create a public link and share it among your friends.
- I spend most of my time on laptop and I like the desktop version of the app better than mobile version. I feel mobile version is little laggy and it hinders the complete usage of Notion.
Option to customize is what makes Notion shine. Possibilities are limitless. Hope this content helped you.
