Notion??

Hey,

So I started uni last week and I've seen a lot of hype about notion from either classmates or youtube videos. I downloaded it on my laptop but there's so much to navigate and so many little buttons and things?! Does anyone use it? And how? Is it really helpful or just another trend?

Thanks xx

I don't use it because I get too distracted with making pages. However, you could always search around for some pre-made school templates. I do use it for something else which is fashion

Hi,

I’ve been using Notion since my first year (I’m now in third year pharmacy) and I’ve found it really helpful for keeping everything in one place. I mainly use it to organise which lectures I need to go over, track assignments, and keep on top of deadlines. It can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but once you set it up in a way that suits you, it becomes much easier. I started by following a YouTube tutorial for beginners and then adapted it to my own needs. You can also use existing templates.

For me, it’s been a great tool to stay organised, but it really depends on what works best for you. Some people love it, while others prefer other platforms or even a paper planner (which I still keep as backup).

Hope this helps,
