The templates allow you to quickly recreate the structure of how you want to note down your ideas and then you can plug them into a database to track, organize and refine (in this case, the table list above).Įven better than the template library, though, are the enthusiastic community of users in places like the Notion subreddit, or the community of content creators (including the team at Notion themselves) posting tips and tricks on Youtube and even here on Medium.

To put it simply, Notion is a productivity tool with journaling, project management, personal wiki and database tools that can help bring organization and elegance to a wide range of personal and professional needs.Īn example page I used for keeping track of barebones song ideas on the fly. Notion.so has emerged in the last year as the contender to unseat OneNote as my go-to all-in-one workspace for keeping track of these pressing life needs. Eventually I settled on cobbled together system in OneNote, and despite it’s usefulness, it never inspired me with elegance or drove me to dive deeper into making it a useful system.

Sadly, over many years and due to inconsistent tracking, losing scrap papers, or dealing with the frustrating app changes (including losing over 100 song ideas when Soundcloud nixed their draft recording feature without any warning) I’ve lost track of many meaningful and valuable pieces of art. Either that, or I use imperfect systems to capture rough drafts and ideas that I hope later to return to and refine (but often never do). It may not be immediately obvious, but this all involves knowledge management, process development and extensive self-reflection.įor instance as a musician, when I get into a state of flow, tap into a creative burst, I sometimes create so much that Ilose track of the very things I’ve created over the long term. For musicians and creators, so much of our time is devoted to perfecting the craft of creation that we often miss out on thinking about how we create, what we do with our creations, and how do we spread our creations.
