โœจ Is Notion even worth using if you can’t make it look pretty? In this video I share 14 Notion Tips for Productivity broken down into 3 categories: (1) Time-saving tips, (2) Notion Organizational Tricks, and (3) Notion Aesthetic hacks.

Although synced blocks is a new feature, I immediately saw a chance to use it in my Weekly Agenda template, and now it saves me an extra step of copying and pasting to-do’s over to the next week. I also like to set reminders within specific Notion pages so I can go back to that block directly. The Notion Web Clipper tool is simply amazing: It lets me capture notes and ideas down so quickly when I’m just browsing the web!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Jeff Su video without my favorite Notion Keyboard Shortcuts, and I share the ones I use everyday just to get things done a bit quicker ๐Ÿ˜‰. Sorting your Notion databases correctly is also very important since Databases is such an important feature so I go through quite a few examples of my own Notion pages to (hopefully) provide you with some inspiration.

Shout-out to Thomas Frank for the Nested Columns trick as well!
