How Notion Became My Second Brain

I used to have information scattered everywhere—random notes in Apple Notes, to-dos in different apps, project ideas in Google Docs. Finding anything was a nightmare, and I'd constantly lose track of important stuff.

Then I discovered Notion, and it completely changed how I organize my digital life. It's like having one place for everything—and I mean everything.

How I actually use it:

• Project hub: Each project gets its own page with timelines, notes, resources, and progress tracking all in one place
• AI conversation archive: I save useful ChatGPT conversations and prompts so I don't have to recreate them later
• Weekly planning: I have a template that helps me plan each week and review what actually got done
• Knowledge base: All my learnings, bookmarks, and "things to remember" go into searchable databases

The best part is the templates—I've created templates for meeting notes, project planning, and even decision-making frameworks. Now I don't have to start from scratch every time.

If your brain feels cluttered with scattered information, give Notion a try. It's free to start, and once you get the hang of it, you'll wonder how you ever kept track of anything before.
