From there, the Youtube rabbit-hole took over, and I watched dozens of notion tour videos from writers, bloggers, students, and entrepreneurs, and every single layout was different – customized to suit the needs of their users. It was convenient timing that I was scrolling on Youtube and happened to come across a video of a content creator sharing their Notion layout.
It’s incredibly powerful, and with the recent addition of a free plan, I knew it was the perfect time to try it out. It can manage all your notes and tasks, scheduling, project management, collaborative work – it can even be used as a blog. In case you haven’t heard of it, Notion is an online all-in-one workspace, and it can quite literally do whatever you need it to do.
How I Use Notion to Organize My Writing.I WANT TO SEE THE NEW SETUP Table of Contents I wasn’t sure what my routine would look like (and I still don’t), but I wanted to be able to customize it to work best for me. I needed something new, that I could customize to serve my needs – and more importantly, change as my workflow demanded it. I’ve been writing for a long time, and I’m prone to brainstorm on anything – an audio note on my phone, haphazard typing at my computer, lengthy sessions in my notebook, scribbles on half a dozen post-its – that aspect of my writing can get pretty chaotic.įor the last several years I’ve kept those notes organized in a series of Evernote notebooks, and while I love Evernote as an archiving tool it just doesn’t work as well when you are required to regularly access that information, especially if that information is likely to change. I had no systems in place to anchor me, and no routine to fall back on when I felt indecisive or unmotivated.Īnd a big part of that was how I organized my notes.
It’s something I wanted to change in the new year because I knew that was a big reason why I was struggling to make time to write and failing to meet my goals. Something that’s been on my mind since this pandemic started and I was left with too much time on my hands has been my writing routine.
