[@saile6864]

how do I access the notion template, I have purchased it.

[@JulioHernandez-ml1dw]

so can we get the template for free or not ? don´t see where...

[@KoiAcademy]

@JulioHernandez-ml1dw It's part of Focus Quest now, called the focus log and you can get it for free. Check out Focus Quest on our website under shops.

[@Epicdudebro]

@@KoiAcademy hey man, the focus log doesn't have sprints or look like this template. Am I missing something? How can I download the exact template that is in this video.

[@lorenzobarbuto7704]

you spend more time using notion to organize things than doing directly things. I was a superorganizer person but i understood that trying to organize everything is not only a loss of time but also an illusion. Life is full of imprevists and unexpected things.

[@السَيدهاشِم-ز1ي]

I agree

[@olxsmxth]

agreed, i guess it works better for some more than others

[@Naota391]

Nonsense response. He made a system to make keeping track of things easy. Try paying attention before offering reactionary criticism.

[@Naota391]

@@ef_888 Opinions and criticism aren't mutually exclusive, though I do agree his comments are better viewed as opinion than anything else. The entirety of his comment is suggesting this is a waste of time, which I find condescending. It's one thing for him to say it doesn't work for him, it's another thing to say, "You spend more time organizing things than directly doing anything." Incredibly presumptuous and arrogant. It's not the end of the world, though. He's free to express his feelings, and I'm free to express my thoughts in turn. Personally, I've found this system to be ridiculously helpful. At the start, yeah, I do find myself spending a lot of time learning the system and building certain habits. But a week or two in, and I can already feel the difference. I have way more control and awareness, and I feel much less stressed.

[@Urnatty]

And that's why that you need to do a "to do list" instead an detailed list of what to do and when to do it.

I'm a 33 year old single parent about to go back to school in a few weeks. I've been looking for tools to help me stay on top of work, school, and home projects and tasks as I'm heading into this season of madness and I believe you have just changed my life in the immediate future in a massive positive way. This is a stellar video. Thank you.

As a person having difficulties staying motivated and productive lately, I must say that this system is helping me A LOT right now. Thank you so much for giving this for free. I feel that if you are the procrastinator type of person like me you should give this a try. it adds gamification to tasks and I'm really here for it. 🚀

How

[@Nem87]

I think I started using Notion through you and I'm still using it daily! I have to deal with ADHD and it's been such a great tool to manage it. My mind is often plagued by random ideas, things to do and inspiration, so I'm very happy to be able to dump it in a specific tab without much effort. Yesterday when I was sorting my work project notes in my word doc, I was thinking of moving them to Notion, so this video has a great timing. Thanks!

[@unknowns78]

Since you mentioned ADHD his style of video is also really cool for people who may have trouble focusing :D Dunno if i just noticed it but he makes his videos really visual

[@Nem87]

@@unknowns78 Absolutely! I'm struggling with the length of this one, but it definitely makes it easier to absorb the info

[@MadMrMeeseeks]

Bro - my whole life with ADHD I have always struggled dumping those random ideas somewhere. This looks amazing

[@jspike-y2e]

@Nem87 having struggle with ADHD myself I've tried several other programs and am constactly searching for a better system. Have you tried Trello? I'm curious as to what advantage Notion has over Trello (that's free to use).

[@Nem87]

@@jspike-y2e sorry for the late reply! I have used trello as a student for project management. To be fair, I haven't used it ever since. But from a quick look on the app and site, it still seems to be a project management tool that's great for collabs and work. From what I've seen you can't edit much. Notion is very customisable, allowing you to do whatever you want with it. Changing tab names, changing the format of a tab. Having different formats in 1 tab. You can do project management, but also private to do list, your own wiki and data dump. I keep all sorts of lists and texts there. I think that's what I would miss if I would use Trello. Because I have really broad interests and activities, I like to categorise them and make an info dump per category. So Notion is great for that. I do feel overwhelmed quickly, so I'm using it as in info dump and to-do list for now. I recommend also slowly getting familiar with it. Trello might be a bit more straight forward in that aspect. I'm using the free version of Notion and don't really feel the need to upgrade to a paid version at the moment. You could always give it a try :) I've tried other management apps until I found the one right for me

[@jacks633]

Cannot thank you enough for making this template free for us, and the timing of this video! Literally discovered Notion last week and have quickly realised a tool a like this is what I've needed for so long but the resources/possibilities have got a little overwhelming and most other tutorials end with a cost, which contradicts the reasons I'm learning this. You have helped ground me in the flood of knowledge and mistakes learning this tool. From one aspiring creator to one that knows exactly what he's doing and what vibes he wants to exert into the world - thank you

[@harithaakkad6064]

I'm trying to get into Notion, and I'm currently just doing some research and watching videos to choose my best 'starting' template. Do you have any advice for me. I mainly want to use it to manage my personal projects, future goals, and log my finances.

[@KoiAcademy]

I appreciate your kind words! Hope its more clearer now! Do keep an eye on Extended brain as well! It's our paid content but it's the most extensive and complete notion template we've ever made. I definitely think you'll appreciate it!

[@mamatarout306]

I'm SO SO THANKFUL to you for making this video! I don't know if you'll see this comment or not, but I downloaded Notion and had no idea how to efficiently use it. It was very underwhelming for me. I have been trying for almost a week now to be disciplined and productive and not waste my school life doing nothing and your channel has helped me a LOT.

16:24 - Fun fact: Windows, Mac, Linux... You can store your files in one place. Then you create [symbolic links/shortcuts] to that file or document. Then the shortcuts can be duplicated and saved anywhere you would like. This keeps your original file in tact and you don't end up with 1 billion versions of the same document with different saved states.

My problem with Notion is that at the end of the day it’s NOT a real database (in the programming sense), so you end up with a clunky UX but also an extremely limited database which forces you to do crazy workarounds and hacks to model your data.
