𝗧𝗟;𝗗𝗥: If you do, please raise your hand

& let me know whether you're using Ultimate Brain or Creator's Companion,

I will probably ask you questions from time to time if you let me because I prefer chatting with Synthesizer members about this stuff. :)

So Thomas Frank, for notion, sells the products Ultimate Brain (task manager & information organizer) as well as Creator's Companion (Content Creation Organization).

Disclaimer, 𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙜𝙤 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙪𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 because I think they can be a little tricky to use until every element "clicks".

In my experience it doesn't 𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒚 make perfect sense out of the box, and I think it might be more intuitive if you start using notion to simply start it like a linked note tool from scratch, and learn as you go.

I had bought both of those, and they've been sitting in my notion, and I've been using a few features of it here and there, very slowly.

It's taken me time to actually want to integrate them into my life.

My idea is, actually build content plans here within the templates with the aim that it will make it easier to keep thoughts organized.

Andrew's advice of basically "use new tools 𝘼𝙎 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢" and also a bit of a notion learning curve applied.

My brain didn't synchronize with them originally, and I don't know if it will become second nature, but I'm finding wisdom in organize things this way as I'm working on some execution.

If anyone in here is down to chat about this stuff, let me know.

Ultimately, it seems really helpful to be able to organize the highest impact ideas and spit them out.

Maybe, for you, it's just turning on the camera and talking, but I'm still interested in the planned & sophisticated approaches.
