app recommendation: Notion

ok so here we go:

starting this off with my current favourite productivity app, Notion !!!

it is so so pretty and very interactive and right now, i’m currently using it to plan out study schedules, syllabi, my revisions, as well as budgeting and my job applications. i initially downloaded it as a note-taking app, but i don’t think i will be doing that (even if i did, it will only be condensed, quick revision notes). after watching a few youtube videos on studytube, i have completed adapted into notion. what’s great with it is that it is 

F R E E

for students !

just sign up with your university/school email, and let it guide you through it. for my experience, i got the education pro thru random pop ups, but if you need a tutorial on how to get this payment plan, just message me directly!

Some Notion Pros (aside from it being free):

1. A little lost on where to start? That’s okay, use templates!

Notion, when you begin, already prepares templates with different functions and purposes. There are for personal purposes (budgeting, agendas, planners...), education purposes (lesson plans, grade calculators, thesis planning...) and even for design management and engineering! Using templates is a great way to explore this app if you’re not quite sure how to use it yet or how to personalize your pages. For me, I downloaded templates from studytube (I will link the ones I used), and then made my own changes to it depending on how I want to use it. With Notion’s many different features, it is easy to get lost and to be overwhelmed, but use these tools to guide you!

2. See everything in many ways!*

I will be honest that I don’t know how to order this list, but my second favourite thing about Notion is that it gives you different perspectives on a list that you create. Example:

Here is a quick look on my Math Self-Prep for the next two weeks. This is a table that includes the dates I want the chapters finished by (because I’m crazy like that), my comfort level for each topic, which units they belong to, etc. But! There are so many aspects to this list that it can be a little too much. 

See the little arrow beside “Table View” above the table? Well, that’s a drop-down list on the different views you can have. Here is my “Comfortability Board View”, so I can easily see my comfort levels on each topic.

Now you can see it in a different perspective! Because sometimes, tables aren’t right for everything

3. Tags! Filters!*

Okay, so you know how you can have different views for a single table or list? Well, you can have another column on this table for “tags” to categorize your stuff. 

Here’s a look into my budget for this school year. See those colourful boxes? Those are the tags. And when you change the view, you can filter those views to only show specific tags. 

Example: So what if I only want to see my loans so I can know which ones to pay off? 

Filter one of your views to only include your loans! 

EZ

Better yet, you can filter a new list to only show loans you’ve paid for, loans you haven’t paid for, etc! Whatever! Filter them however you want!

4. Subpages!*

Do you want a wholeass section in your page dedicated into one topic, but a small part isn’t enough? Do you want a whole notebook in your page? 

W E L L 

Each new section in Notion is called a page. But ! You can include subpages in it that is dedicated to more things, and you can just click on this subpage link and it will direct you to it! You can have deep, deep notebooks with many twisting sections just because you need a new section for everything! YOU CAN EVEN HAVE PAGES DEDICATED TO THE THINGS ON YOUR TABLE.

5.. Use it e v e r y w h e r e. 

Like most software, Notion is available in desktop and mobile, Android, iPhone, Windows, whatever. It synchs your notebooks in all of your devices, and !!! THE MOBILE VERSION ISN’T UGLY. One of the huge turn-offs I always get from apps is that mobile versions are always so compressed because it is in a smaller device, but Notion !!! Notion makes it work !!! I can actually look at my phone to check through my planners and not cry while looking at it. 

I wish I can go deeper into this app because there is so much more to talk about, and I wish I was more descriptive. Unfortunately, I can’t provide a lot of photos because I am just starting to use Tumblr and I’m not that comfortable with it yet, and I don’t have a lot of examples to show you since I am also just starting with Notion as well. But! I will do my best to update you about things I discover so that you can draw inspiration for your productivity and journalling purposes. 

I hope this helped you in some way! I will be talking more about Notion in the future and how I use it, so this is my introductory piece for it!

*I will be posting videos about these steps in Tiktok to show more of it, so make sure to follow me on there too (@ jojospeaches)! I am on private, so just request a follow!

house: slytherin... although i will say i was convinced i was a ravenclaw ages 11 to... 20-ish? (it’s almost like jkr wrote slytherins to be read as evil and poisoned the idea of them to children?)

ever had a crush on a teacher: HELL YES! my high school history teacher was a very teacher-y type (v proper, super tall, elbow patches and all and exceptionally charming) PLUS like i had a crush on half of my lecturers at uni lmao

last movie i saw in theatres: is this about the outside world? i remember the outside world 😂 i think it was jojo rabbit, which is fab and made me cry a ton and i highly rec, honestly a 1000000/10
