I don't know if it works for everyone, but it works tremendously for me. Doing things slowly has turned into doing things quickly, and many parts of the system are proactively planned, and automated when it is time for action.
At times, I have increased the complexity of my system, sometime detrimental to my productivity, but as I find simplicity on the far side of that complexity, it has leveled up my effectiveness. That said, I have been tweaking my system for several years now. I can't say if that would be a valuable thing for you, but for me it has been a game changer. No information or ideas get lost, and if I follow they system it bubbles up at the right place at the right time. I have been able to curate my incoming information to an exponentially higher the more I use it. From Tiago Forte, I find it an essential tool to help capture and organize information on an ongoing basis. It also acts as a second brain for me which helps with challenges with executive function issues. It is better to do thinks slowly in the right direction, then to be productive in the wrong direction. I heard August say this on a video recently and I think it describes what I'm trying to say perfectly. It has made me more productive by making me more focused and aligned with my values and goals. I use Notion with the PPV system taught by August Bradley. TL/DR: Does Notion actually make you more productive? I did search through this sub and haven't seen this question asked before. Has Notion optimized your life in any way? If so, how? How has Notion improved your own productivity and efficiency, or helped you solve problems? In an effort to ensure I don't add another source of procrastination to my day-to-day, I'd like to open up the discussion to the community:
it requires daily maintenance and the ROI isn't all that great. Its like striving to keep your email at "inbox 0". Organizing notes and tracking / reporting on things is great, however, can be time consuming and in some cases the act of staying organized prevents you from doing the actual work that you set out to do in the first place.
While the above are presented as memes / jokes, I wonder if there is a bit of truth to this. I became interested in Notion in hopes of increasing my productivity.Īs someone beginning to explore Notion, I see a recurring dialogue in r/Notion suggesting users tend to procrastinate / waste time with the app.Įxamples of this discourse can be seen in some of the Top posts of All Time in r/Notion
