[@soulincolor]

Thank you for being the only person on KZbin who teaches Notion in a sensible, detailed format. I am a complete beginner without coding experience, so I need the most basic of basics and your videos have been so helpful. I appreciate that you start at the beginning and create a foundation of knowledge that builds over time; it's the most linear and comprehensive way to teach, imo, and makes retention so much easier for the student.

[@ProductiveDude]

Glad it was helpful!

[@VantomChannel]

I can't agree more

[@attaboy8422]

Not the only one but for sure one of the best!

[@clumein2]

Carter... Really?! My God you've done it! You have created the definitive guide to Notion Databases. Finally an explanation without the super fast-talking experts racing through many features essentially showing off how adept they are at using Notion while losing their watchers. Now... if YOU created a course on Notion along the same lines (tone & tempo) as this video, you will be super successful... You will have my money in a flash... even if I know much of what's in the course, it will be my reference go-to Notion help. Thanks Carter. Great job!!!

[@ProductiveDude]

Hey Cliff as always, your comments leave a smile on my face. Thanks so much for the kind words. I may come out with a course someday, as for right now, just refer to my ultimate Notion playlist and this video. ;) Again, I appreciate your comments. They leave me smiling every time.

[@blackstacie_ibe]

It took the Dude years to compile all his work. I think it’s a good deal actually, it’s an investment.

[@annette2687]

Thank you Carter. I was THIS close to giving up on Notion but you saved the day! First of all, thank you for recording in a pace that didn't require me to slow down the video speed. This is a complex topic yet others talk so fast. You presented complex information with clarity and therefore it was easily consumable and enjoyable. I really appreciate your teaching style for beginners. I sure do hope Notion is sponsoring you; you deserve it. Thanks again. P.S. I wish you had been my Algebra tutor back in the day! Have a great day! 👍🎉

[@JonMero]

Mr Carter, you sir are an EXCELLENT teacher! I clicked on this video with little hope of making it the full hour and 18 minutes...but because of your teaching style, I sat here and took it all in in one sitting! My anxiety as to whether or not this was going to "click" quickly turned into excitement, because I was absolutely taking it all in. EXCELLENT man!!! Thank you for every second you spent prepping and executing this tutorial. I'm pumped!

[@w.brandon9847]

Dude, it’s taken me awhile to warm up to Notion! So glad you’re still here to “light” the way! Thanks for your guidance, and dedication! Let’s do this!

[@ProductiveDude]

Happy to help! Keep going, you'll find your way.

[@suhanichaudhary999]

Finally!! Someone explained notion in understandable manner !!❤❤

[@iarawy.]

For a moment i thought i have paid for this content 😳. This is probably the most authentic and realistic Notion tutorial I have ever seen. The amount of details you've put in is marvelous. Thank you for your time and effort, really i've learned so much.

[@ProductiveDude]

Excellent ;) That's what I was going for

[@KennyCutz]

Hey! If you ever wanna talk about your process of video production I'm here! You've already given me tons of value so I owe you. I'm a 20 year industry professional working with everyone from Nike to Disney... All of this is a game changer for what I'm currently building.

[@jboyd8224]

Absolutely refreshing. I love the idea about creating databases you want first and then relating them to one another. I didn't think of that. It is an absolute game changer for me since I'm someone who is easily overwhelmed. Now, I can work on one page at a time until it's to my like instead trying to make intricate systems to relate to one another without knowing what I need!

[@RT-vh7lo]

Let me just say, “wow!” I’ve been watching videos on Notion this week and yours is far and away the absolute BEST one-accessible, comprehensive, really well organized and does a fabulous job leading a newbie step by step through the how and why of the functions. Thank you for putting this all in one place and explaining it SO clearly. I was on the fence about whether Notion was going to be a good fit for me, but now I’m feeling much more comfortable (and actually excited) with the way it works. Well done!

[@imranshah5240]

me too ... just wow...

[@alex.velasco]

Bravo! I've been using Notion for about a year, and relying on the database functionality quite a lot. Still, I learnt a bunch of stuff from you. Thank you!

[@mohammedgalal776]

You are really an awesome person personally and technically. You teach with honest behavior to ensure the delivery of the ideas, not like a lot of KZbinrs, who want only to upload videos and get views. I am not an English person, however, I was able to understand you and get most of your explanations. Thank you, brother.

[@davidnichols100]

Awesome! 78 minutes with 37 topics. You not only presented the beginner's guide, but you also made it practical. I want to get up & start training for the marathon.....well, maybe not! lol Have aq great day.

[@ProductiveDude]

Thanks for the kind words! I hope this continues to serve you until you fully understand Notion databases.

[@skylerjknight]

Very in depth. Thanks ~ Btw, I think you can simplify your days left formula to the following: format(dateBetween(prop("Due Date"), now(), "days")) + " Day(s) left" Or here is a formula that will detect and write out "1 Day left" / "2 Days left" / (blank), depending on the number of days: empty(prop("Due Date")) ? " " : ((dateBetween(prop("Due Date"), now(), "days") > 1) ? (format(dateBetween(prop("Due Date"), now(), "days")) + " Days left") : (format(dateBetween(prop("Due Date"), now(), "days")) + " Day left"))

[@aislingcolon2507]

Carter, THANK YOU. This was by far, the BEST Notion Tutorial out there. You are a natural teacher. Even my ADHD brain was able to follow along, learn, and implement the functions you demonstrated. I am so grateful.

[@alanwallace3253]

Just randomly ran into this and have learned a lot from others, but this video finally gave me the “ aha” moment of understanding finally to build the app I’ve been wanting to do.

[@tacene3470]

7 mins in and already in love with this , teaching is definitely an art seldom known.

[@ProductiveDude]

[@NJHeart2Heart]

The most helpful tutorial on Notion - databases - I've seen so far! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@marla_borja]

This is such a helpful tutorial! Appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into this. I’ve learned a lot and will definitely apply those learnings. 😊 👍

[@ProductiveDude]

Great! Thanks for giving it a try.

[@Zen-Admin]

I've been looking for this information for so long! You are an excellent teacher. Keep doing these tutorials, we need you out here! I clicked the thumb's up, the bell and I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Thank you!!!

[@SydneyRoc]

I've been doing everything in Notion for almost two years now and I'm so glad I took the time to watch this. I learned a couple things and added this video into my Notion. Thank you so much!

[@ProductiveDude]

Happy this helped.

[@frocka]

WOW! One of the best tutorials on Notion that I have seen on YT. Thank you.

[@ProductiveDude]

Glad it helped. It's an honor. :)

[@keithstephens8440]

I would pay money for this bro. Made so much sense and you explained things in a way where I grasped every concept. Thanks a ton!

[@NaturallyMeaux]

This video made me a subscriber! I’ve seen five other videos of this account, and this one took the cake! Great detail. Great breakdown. No overwhelming words made it great for a *beginner*. I literally made a notion account five days ago, so this video was right on time!! It’s definitely worth the watch!

[@nanupon]

Thank you for your hard work and effort in passing on your knowledge. Despite my efforts, I haven't been able to successfully use Notion. But when I had a chance to come across your education clip, while it was lengthy and exhausting, the experience was still enjoyable. Thanks again.

[@chrisgeorge8664]

Wow I've watched so many other Notion videos n felt overwhelmed n wanted them to slow down. Then the algorithms blessed me with this video. The vibe, detail, and flow of the video all came together to make everything easy to understand. Going to watch more of your videos tomorrow. Thanks a lot!

[@ProductiveDude]

Hey Chris! Your comment means a lot. Thank you.

[@shalenehatton1922]

THANK YOU for this tutorial! I bought your template and now spending the week learning Notion so I can make adjustments as I learn and use it 🚀. Also, love the buzz cut :)

[@Amnostar123]

Thank you. I learned about Notion last night and did not know how to begin. I now have hope that I can make this work for me.

[@danielbrink9475]

Ay thanks for the tutorial bro, as a finance major used to keep all of my work in separate folders, but now i can do it all just on 1 platform

[@lifeisabeginning]

I run an ecommerce marketing agency and am watching your series to redo our workflow and create a streamlined system for our team and clients. Thanks for the value

[@marcusroyhoffman-portrait]

This is one of the best Notion tutorials yet! I like how you built everything up and eventually showed the more complex uses. So many light bulb moments! Very well done!

[@ProductiveDude]

Ahh that’s so great to hear that you had lots of 💡 moments! Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@360theosiris]

Wow, you are made for teaching. You explain things so clearly and to the point. And besides that, so refreshing to have a Notion tutorial where all the examples aren’t another KZbinr explaining his flows for creating videos. You made this hour fly by and got me excited to use Notion. Subscribed!

[@grantnelson7717]

Recently found Notion, and felt the potential, and with your videos, I now am realizing the potential. Thanks so much!

[@ProductiveDude]

Glad for your Grant!

[@TheGreekGeekk]

I just came here from your 2022 Notion Tutorial. When I first got Notion, I deleted it within days. Didn't know what to do, and didn't know which tutorial to watch. Today, I spent some time diving into Notion and really pulling apart the tutorials and seeing which are helpful, and which, are not. I went through 5 tutorials before I stumbled across your 2022 explanation. I now effectively, and efficiently know and understand the BASIC skills needed to use Notion. You are a BRILLIANT teacher for this APP. Tone, tempo, explanation, thoroughness, you take your time. I especially like how you do not just SPEED through and show us how proficient YOU are at Notion, but rather TEACH us how to be better ourselves. Thank you for doing this, I would have given up on Notion again if it wasn't for your tutorial.

[@ProductiveDude]

Wow thanks so much for the kind words. I’m honored to help.

[@marcuscarter]

Thank you so much, great tutorial

[@analuisaallen]

Thank you so much! I watched 30 min of your video and I was able to create a repository for my medical practice ordering! Great tutorial!

[@leeholston7236]

WOW! This is an absolutely fantastic tutorial on a very complex subject. I have watched many videos since I began learning Notion, and this, by far, is the best I've seen yet on Notion databases. The pace and tone of your presentation make it easy to follow and understand. Thank you for this. I will watch many of your other videos when I need valuable information to help me on my Notion journey!

[@DoctorLorraine]

You are a talented instructor. It's very easy to follow along with you. I'm still a little lost with the formulas. I'll keep an eye out for future tutorials on this. Thank you for sharing all the Notion tips!

[@ProductiveDude]

I will be releasing better tutorials that are just focused on formulas. Definitely keep an eye out. Thank you for the kind words by the way! :)

[@KikiContrerasNyu]

This is SO USEFUL! Thank you so much, I’ve been using Notion for a few years and still learned so much with this masterclass. Incredibly detailed and well explained, good job 🧡

[@ProductiveDude]

Awesome! Glad it helped

[@user-ju1ig9cd5k]

Thank you Carter! Learned so much and I'm actually exploring more on formulas :)

[@Rescu_puppet]

This is the Best Guide for beginners.Thank you so much ❤

[@bittom]

I watched carefully and I really thank you for your tutorial！

[@NJHeart2Heart]

This was FANTASTIC!! I became a subscriber while watching this. I watched videos (including yours) about getting started, and was doing good, but needed more intermediate information- primarily about making the databases work for me. You did a GREAT job on this. Thank you for taking the time educate new but not beginner users of Notion!

[@iikimuth]

Finally, I got it! Now I have more and cleared understanding on how to create and develop database in Notion! One of the best video tutorial! It's taken me awhile to understand how to use Notion. So glad that I watched your videos. Appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into this. I’ve learned a lot and will definitely apply those learnings. Thank you!

[@ProductiveDude]

Great to hear!

[@Nerdy_Cuteness]

THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!! I never used notion in my life but seeing this and how much its taught me really helps me build confidence and got me more than excited to be organized! Thank you so much for providing your time helping thousands!

[@elenaf_7924]

Thank you very much!! Your video are the best notion video tutorial!!!!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I'm learning a lot!!!!

[@nevillecreativitymentor]

I feel you. (your intro words) ... meanwhile its going to be a while before I finish watching the whole video. CHEERS

[@ProductiveDude]

Cheers! Hope you're having a prosperous 2023. Enjoy learning.

[@kondibaparade9391]

Watching the Video to the end has totally worth my time... As a beginner I understood its the potential, how to use it, and how this powerful tool can help me to stay organized.

[@DougeeDJ]

Great video! Love the chapters in the description. I will be back, over and over, for a while. Especially for the Formulas on. Thanks for your hard work!!!

[@ProductiveDude]

Awesome, thank you! You're welcome back any time! :)

[@BABooks-kv2sl]

Honestly so help thank you. It took me hours to do it along with you but I really feel so much more able to do it now

[@ProductiveDude]

Excellent!

[@headskullk]

This got me thinking, It would be nice if the text in a database had the option to wrap the url, like the embed link function. Great video!

[@danquixote6072]

It does. Click the property heading, at the bottom of the drop down menu it has an option to toggle 'wrap column'. I think that's what you mean

[@headskullk]

@@danquixote6072 Nope not that wrap function. What I mean is that when you type the url text into a field, what will show is the page header, and when you click the text it goes to the page, somewhat like the embed url, only the embed shows both the header and the link. I've been trying to find an option like that, but nothing easy. Its a small nitpick but useful for tables imo.

[@Beanaification]

This is so thorough and well explained. One of the best Notion tutorials I've seen. You explain things so simply and clearly, thank you so much!

[@ProductiveDude]

Glad this helped

[@vibhashruthi4316]

Thank You so much, you are the only person who could actually make me comprehend onto understanding Notion without losing my mind, i was struggling with understanding formulas and this video helped me a lot.

[@jyo-k1y]

Best Notion tutorial ever!!!! Thank you! 😊

[@ProductiveDude]

Glad this helped. :) Thanks for the kind words

[@madhumaddy9662]
