The ultimate 'External Brain' for juggling work, school, and a side hustle
What do you like best about the product?
I like how customizable it is. I've always been into planners and organization, but Notion allows me to build a system that works exactly the way my brain works. Whether I'm organizing digital files or planning out household projects, I’m not stuck with a rigid format—I can build the tool I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve can be steep. Sometimes I feel like I spend more time ‘building’ the perfect system or making it look pretty than actually doing the work. With my work schedule and classes, I need something that works right out of the box, and Notion often requires a lot of tinkering to get it right.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Problem: The biggest problem I had was information fragmentation. Between managing my degree at WGU, running my resale business, and handling household projects like our upcoming move, my 'to-dos' were scattered across five different apps and sticky notes.
The Benefit: Notion solves this by acting as a single operating system for my life. It benefits me by drastically reducing my mental load—I don't have to wonder where I wrote something down. I know exactly where my class notes, inventory lists, and house-hunting checklists live.

Intuitive Hub for Content and Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I love using Notion as a database for all of our content, which we can easily share with clients. It is fantastic for organizing meetings and notes. The notetaking and follow-up features act like an assistant, helping me get things done faster. Having one centralized hub for program information is a big plus. The AI agent in Notion is super helpful. Overall, it's fairly user-friendly and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to be able to listen to a transcript after a call recording. Sometimes the transcript isn't super accurate. Sometimes it picks up the wrong words or wrong people in the meeting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for notetaking and follow-ups; it acts as an assistant and speeds things up. It provides a centralized hub for program information, helping my team organize and share content with clients effectively.
Enhances Organization, Slight Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Notion AI takes out the technical part for me. I can just say what I'm looking to make or what properties I want to change, and it builds it for me, which really saves me time. I also enjoy the calendar views as they are nice for planning and keep me organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the calendar didn't require a full page item to add something. I wish I could just add tags or flags without a whole page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for project management, consolidating information, clear documentation, and sharing info. Notion AI saves me time by handling technical tasks, and calendar views keep me organized for planning.
Effortless Organization with Beautiful Design
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Notion is beautiful and easy to use, which helps me be more productive. The community resource hub is great for getting ideas and sharing templates, and I appreciate the ability to calculate down and across columns. The initial setup was easy for me, and the functionality is better than the tool I used before.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that Notion doesn't have a built-in time parameter. I've had to create so many extra workarounds just to calculate time spent on tasks like working, sleeping, or running. I'd also love the ability to roll up all sub bullets, not just under a toggle header. Having every bullet be a toggle would make my notes much better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me with organization, decreases mental clutter, and acts as a memory log, making me feel on top of everything.
All-in-One Workspace That Simplifies Project Management, Docs, and Notes
What do you like best about the product?
I like having everything in one place. With Notion, I can handle project management, documentation, and meeting notes all together, which really simplifies my workflow and makes it easier to stay organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
Databases offer a lot of capabilities, but they can be hard to use because formulas often become the limiting factor. I know the community has released some impressive templates, which definitely helps, but when something breaks it can still be difficult to debug the formulas. I also haven’t found much support or clear documentation online, so figuring out what’s going wrong can take more time than it should.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s an efficient way to create documentation collaboratively. Everyone can contribute, which is especially helpful for engineering teams. I also really like the AI assistant: it refines my writing and content, and it optimizes how I can search for information afterward.
Seamless Cross-Device Use with a Clean Interface
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Notion is comprehensive, with a clean and easy-to-use interface. I most like that I can use it on multiple devices, which is really convenient. Everything works very well for my needs, and I find it even more robust compared to alternatives. The initial setup was very easy too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love Microsoft particularly Outlook and the Outlook calendar to be integrated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is more comprehensive, with a clean and easy interface, and I like that I can use it on multiple devices.
Effortless Note-Taking and Cloud Access
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion for transcribing meeting notes and recording thoughts during meetings, which helps me be more engaged without worrying about missing key themes or points. I like its easy-to-use meeting notes recorder and that it's hosted in the cloud, so I can access my notes on multiple devices. Being able to record notes during live presentations or Zoom/Teams calls without being restricted to one device is really convenient. The initial setup was also very simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the way that additional notes/pictures/context added manually by myself could be better incorporated into the summary generated by Notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for meeting notes, allowing me to focus and engage during meetings without stressing about capturing every detail. I love the easy-to-use meeting notes recorder and access across multiple devices for flexibility in recording on-the-go.
Intuitive UI and Seamless Collaboration with Notion
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion at work for both internal and external docs, and as a personal tool to organize my docs and tasks. I appreciate its user-friendly UI, and that it's heavily used by the rest of the team as well, making it easy to find other resources and collaborate. The initial setup was super easy, and it solves problems with keeping my information and processes aligned and accessible.
What do you dislike about the product?
none
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Powerful AI Features, But Needs Better Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion for project and task management as it allows me to sync with note takers and automatically assign and track tasks. I appreciate Notion's AI interface, which is more robust than I imagined and makes it easier to leverage data. I also like that I can query my meeting transcripts and ask for feedback on my priority tasks, which is really beneficial.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find interfacing with HubSpot pretty limited, and features that were there seem to have been deprecated. It took me a good while to understand how Notion could be useful. Luckily, I had a coach to support me via a grant. Otherwise, I don't think we would have adopted it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me sync with note takers and track tasks, plus it builds a repository and workflows. The AI interface allows querying transcripts and gathering feedback on priority tasks, making data leverage easier.
Intuitive Interface with Room for AI Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I like how simple the interface of Notion is. It also keeps me informed when travel plans change, which is really useful. I appreciate how it keeps track of my stocks, and the initial setup was very easy!
What do you dislike about the product?
I think sometimes the AI hallucinates answers that are not correct or helpful. If I search something that it does not know the answer to, it just generates something that is not helpful instead of saying 'I don't know'.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion keeps me informed on travel plan changes and tracks my stocks. I like its simple interface.
