Notion: What is it?

Wat is Notion?

I’ve talked about it before and maybe you’ve heard about it: Notion. What is Notion exactly and what can you do with it? Would it even be something that is useful to you? I’ll explain what it is, because I do think it is something that is useful to anyone, anywhere. Let’s see!

What is Notion?

To tell you short an easy: Notion is an app that you can either download or just use in your web browser. The app is available for iOS, Android and Windows. This means you can use it on your laptop, your phone and your iPad and it will all sync and work well together. But what kind of app is it? It’s an organizing, planning and writing app. And well, it can be even more. There are a lot of options in Notion, so it can handle basically any part of your (work) life. Notion is the app to use to manage your (work) life.

You can use the app if you’re a business owner, you can use it for your personal life, but it’s also a great tool for managers who want to share files, calendars and more with their teams. Working from home and still sharing in real time? Keeping a client record? Sharing notes with your class? It’s all possible. You can open up your Notion and have others look at the files or even edit them, you decide.

Why you want to use Notion

If I’m just looking at the personal use of Notion, what are my reasons for saying “You want this app.”? Well, you can keep your entire life organized in there (as far as apps can help, of course, ha). It won’t start cleaning out your kitchen cabinets, but it will keep a record of when to do tasks like that, where you put everything and when you plan on doing it again. Notion has a really clear set-up. You have a homepage, you have extra pages and everything can be edited, renamed and personalized to your liking. You don’t have to download extra templates, but if you want to, there are many free options (really, there are a lot!).

You can start using Notion straight from your browser and for free, so there’s no need to pay or install an app to try Notion out. If you don’t like it, just log out and never think of it again. If you do like it you’ve found yourself a great app to help you organize life! Make task lists, write in a diary, make grocery lists, plan your year and much more!

Try Notion and have fun getting organized!
