Looking for a way to build productivity without an expensive initial investment? This is the book for you. Notion offers a free to low-cost option to build and link databases, construct useful web pages, and update work performance. The book covers everything from initial setup to the best methods others have used through Notion to improve delivery. The comprehensive look covers building a data base, integrating formulas, and linking databases to create success across multiple teams.The first section details the basic building blocks for integrating your team. Personal use is free while expanded use costs up to $8 a month, less than you spend on a Starbucks coffee. This area covers the building blocks and shortcuts needed to expedite your creation with easy to follow screen shots and instructions. The basic formula works similar to your Windows Explorer so most folks can jump right in.After learning the basics, the next section works with building a database structure to support your webpages. Learn how to build basic properties, examine cells with number, date, Boolean and string properties, then use those functions to help create calendars, workflows, and timelines by linking multiple functions across the tool. The DB relationship items allow calculations to be performed on a subordinate section, and then carried in to the main page to keep the web page clean and clear. The advanced formulas aid in searching, and the Notion tool provides inline assistance for syntax and examples. These aids are extremely useful and prevent the constant googling for how to build a COUNTIF vs a COUNTIFS command when comparing multiple fields.Finally, the book looks at more advanced workflows, building an advanced integration, and using APIs to link in other functions. A good discussion appears on the risks and limitations of linking to external tools based on Notion only reporting if the trigger for the action actually appears in Notion. So if you’ve linked to an external collect, and that function fails, you’ll just be missing the information in Notion and have to manually search. At the same time, you can use the advanced properties to search for failed triggers and pull those into a subordinate area for management.A great book and a great start for those looking to build better integration. The final section covered fourteen different implementations others have used to increase their productivity when starting with Notion. They also offer links to a robust user community to find the answers you need. Recommend this for anyone looking for a way to track business outcomes, and increase the value without significant added expense. Probably best for small business with minimal IT support.

I've been using Notion for over a year. But unfortunately, I have yet to exploit its capabilities thoroughly.This book appears to be for novices. It includes screenshots to assist you in navigating the various aspects of Notion. However, don't rely solely on screenshots. The detailed instructions are actually in writing. If this is your first time using Notion, don't skim because you'll have problems getting to the same page as the screenshots.This book goes over every feature of Notion. I find it easy to understand complex topics such as databases, relations, formulas, and API. These are the areas I needed help the most.If you're creating a workflow for your tasks, this book can help you. Notion is a powerful tool when it comes to project and task management. With the explanatory instruction in this book, you can design from simple to advanced workflow.Towards the end of the book, the author gives some use cases. I find them to be inspirational. In addition, they give me ideas on exploring other applications of Notion.Enhancing Productivity with Notion is the first book I own on Notion, and it will serve as my reference guide from now on.I'm not an advanced Notion user, but this book is handy for beginners and intermediate users like me.

As a very busy tech professional, musician, and parent, I am always looking for ways to help streamline or enhance my busy schedule. When I found this book I was very excited to see if this might be the latest improvement to my workflows.The book is broken up into 3 Sections with a few chapters in each section. The first section centers on the basics of setting up and installing Notion and finding your way around the application. It also introduces the fundamentals of hierarchy, templates and the components used to build pages. The Second section hones in on the database features of Notion. This section delves into properties, views, functions, and formulas. The third section introduces some advanced workflows. This section is where the money is, it introduces some example workflows for dashboards, wikis, note taking, planning, and even introduces some information on plugins!I found this book to be useful and as I implement the strategies from the book I'm excited to have expanded my knowledge and improved my systems!

This book is a structured introduction to notion, for beginners and advanced users. I'm using notion since a few years but I didn't unlock its whole potential before reading this book.It starts, useful for beginners, with a set up guide to make sure that everybody can choose options to fit in their specific personal needs. After that the book goes over all features of notion like databases in-depth and how to use that knowledge for creating useful and productive workflows.My favorite part was part 12 where its about note taking and knowledge management. I learned a lot from that which I can not only use in my work-life but also in my personal life to stay organized.Who should read it? Everybody who's working with notion or who's going to. Even if you're pretty advanced you will gain some more knowledge.
