Several companies have developed applications for employees to facilitate their tasks and accomplish them in the shortest possible time. Notion is one such app that helps improve productivity within a multifunctional environment, incorporating everything you can do separately from your computer or smartphone.
One app for all workflows
Notion Labs was founded in 2013 in San Francisco by Ivan Zhao. From the beginning, the goal was simple: facilitate work, improve productivity, and avoid saturation of devices due to different utilities operating simultaneously.
With that thought, Notion was developed as an initiative to combine whole workflows in one workspace. This way, you won’t have to open 20 tabs and 10 apps just to carry out each task. With a fully customizable workspace, this Swiss army knife of productivity brings all the tools in one. Here, you can manage projects, create wikis, check emails, and so much more.
Capabilities and services
Notion doesn’t replace applications and services. It simply integrates them on the same platform. This will allow you to use third-party content, such as Twitter, Dropbox, or Google accounts while doing the rest of the tasks in the same place.
One of their main services is providing the app for free to students. This helps students manage school activities, organize their thoughts, and motivate them to be productive. Students from different schools such as The University of Chicago and Minerva School have even attested to the effectiveness of Notion.
It can be for personal use, but its potential lies in its sharing capabilities. It allows content to be shared with any synchronized device. This also creates workspaces where all activities are organized in columns while tasks are specified in tags.
This minimalist app is available on Android and iOS, as well as for Mac and Windows. You can also choose to utilize the app from a web browser and use Web Clipper to save web pages for future projects. Aside from that, you can migrate data from Evernote, Trello, and Jira. Although it is online, it is possible to use Notion functions offline and synchronize them later.
Notion has already gained traction with a diverse range of companies highly favoring this tool. Duolingo, Loom, and even Reddit are just some of their clients, a testament that this app is used for all kinds of work.
If you want a better way to organize and be more productive, you will definitely find an option to do it in Notion. The app is available with free and paid membership options, starting at $4.
