10 Things You're Doing WRONG in Notion

Thanks for the video ! I'll try to use yours recommendations. One question - what does it mean : "ca" at the beggining of the database names ?

Do you recommend using databases in a project to link tasks and other things or using the relations property to basically accomplish the same thing?

Like the story ön your t shirt.

Am I the only one who thinks he is cute?

Why don't Notion allow us to lock formatting?! I know you can lock pages and databases and database views, but that still doesn't have any practical effect. Lock page makes the page largely unusable and locking database is fine, but accidentally backspace on a page and bang, you can lose whole pages or links. It is absolutely ridiculous they don't allow this.

I'm getting to know Notion but clearly there are SO many complex things you can do that each one deserves a step by step tutorial. These 10 things were interesting but went by way too fast to learn. Thanks for all your Notion expertise though. I'm trying to follow it all.

linking a unique view of a database in some other place - good God - so helpful! thank you so much!

Tried it once but the UI is just not pretty and unintuitive for the 21st century. Reminds me of a mainframe screen. Hadn’t seen that since the 1980’s. People do a lot of personal management with it though.

Good explanations!

Why do u use synced block and not just linked view of database?

The use of "Database" word is very wrong. it will confuse anyone who understands what a Database is.

Great job, but I might ask you to point out to your viewers that the Android version of Notion does not allow you to use markdown language. You could use LaTeX and an equation, I suppose.

Yet another video loaded with great information. I always find something new in Notion when watching your videos. Thanks, Thomas!

Amazingly comprehensive explanation and very informative, thank you so much for your efforts!

The prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said : “ He who does not thank people does not thank Allah (God).”

I have a questions on how do you backup Notion in case if the account is being hacked or disabled or if wanted to switch to other platform or access it offline.

I've set myself the goal of learning one Notion shortcut every day. Today you've shown me how to do something awesome: how to go back to my previous page without having to scroll down the sidebar. Spoiler: simply type Cmd [ 😎

Thanks for the tips, very useful!

O my whole database is gone. I created a view at different location but when I click view database, it brings me to the database that only shows the title without the whole table. I am doing it on my android phone. Please help. Thanks 👍 I am new to this notion thing.

"People like to say there's no wrong way to use Notion".
Lulz. Those people clearly haven't seen my fiasco of a dashboard.

also, are there libraries of free and good notion pages that I could duplicate and use?

Soo how to make template?

Such great tips for someone starting out .. #7 .. that's why I bought your templates. I didn't have 2 years to figure it out .. such a great jump start to get started on Notion

I started using notion because of your template and now I have started realising the potential

#1 : use Notion, period !

OH MY GOSH HOW COULD I MISS THIS VIDEO ON MY FIRST TRY USING NOTION?!?!!?!?!?!?

The mistake I made at the beginning was the last one. I just deleted everything 🤣 and made a new version, with which I felt more comfortable with. Then, when I checked the deleted bin, I had a lot of databases and pages that seemed to be active. Part of my learning curve, I guess... Now that I discover your channel, I have a great resource to shorten that curve and work more efficiently. Thank you so much 👍

Hi Thomas
How can I create a template to categorize my blog posts by date shoeing an image thumbnail....maybe displaying everything in a monthly view?

Synced Block is a life saver! Thank you for sharing how we can use Synced blocks in practice

I couldn’t find favourite in my notion

I've duplicated some of the templates, i'm confuse how can i use the same basic template again the next time in it's original duplicated form with no change? i currently duplicate the template and move the copy to the template required page, is there a short cut of doing this?

I can't add a toggle the way you explained it, because your directions don't match with my page. The window menu with the style palette/ etc. doesn't pop up.

Question why have a quick link, when there is a quick Find? Unless you're running like 15 or more of these databases I don't see the point. Which I'm only probably going to do 2 at the moment. 1 for book notes, podcasts, movies etc. The other maybe as that juranl.

If we get a clear vision of what we want, it is easier! Thanks for sharing all this tips.

Increible tips! I've been using Notion for almost a full year now and still feel like a beginner with learning all that can be done in Notion. The linked pages and customize page is my new favorite- thank you!

Happy Birthday Thomas 😁

Thanks for sharing!

Nothing is impossible 😏

Where they love us, where they believe us!

I just signed up on NOTION and seeing your and my left panes side by side makes me intimidated. You've got quite some stuff on there, WOW!!

Is there any short cut for printing from notion page,?

great video, can you share the link to the PARA methodology post.. Thanks

Just started using Notion for a couple of weeks and I initialled loved it but after watching a lot of videos of what people are doing with Notion to get organised I now feel really overwhelmed at how to set things up correctly and noticed that I am spending more time playing around with it than actaully focusing on getting my work done! :(

It strikes me that Notion is basically a less sophisticated/enterprise version of Microsoft SharePoint – it’s too bad it doesn’t also have the file libraries functionality of SharePoint as this has the unique ability to treat file libraries as lists and assign meta-data to files, treating the entire file library as a database – it looks like so far files in Notion are limited to file attachments but maybe this will come in the future

The Notion Dashboard reminds me of myspace back in the day 🤣

Very helpful! I am wondering if you have any demonstration videos, thoughts, or written instruction on Notion Enhancer and the Save to Notion Chrome extension?

Also, another nice little bug as of March 8th, but you can not move your page around in the side bar to reorder it, all that happens is it moves to the bottom of your list, and you will never be able to move it around. Notion is turning out to be one of the buggiest programs I have ever used.

Notion seems so useful. I wish I was more computer savvy so it felt easy to use
