Notion Week 1 recap - Getting your feet wet
Already at level 7!
From level zero to seven, not bad in a week’s work!
The week started off (admittedly somewhat sillily) by learning how to install Notion and man did that turn out well! 😉
We then picked up the pace and learned about the building blocks of notion, from the smallest atoms of Blocks via Pages all the way to Workspaces. Finally, we got an understanding of the meaning of Workspace - simply the container within which we can organize content and collaborate.
To finish off we installed the mobile app and clipped some nice coffee-related content.
Why YouTube #shorts?
I hear many of you asking why the main format of choice seems to be YouTube shorts. The answer is simply that I feel long-form videos tend to be very tedious to gain knowledge from. You need to both listen and watch to get all information.
The shorts I provide are intended to be a quick, easy-to-digest, way to learn one concept at a time.
Granted, some concepts are a bit of a challenge to condense down to the #shorts limit of one minute, but fear not - you can easily watch a second, a third, a fourth, … time!
Also, fear not, from time to time I will post longer-form videos as well as we move on to more advanced subjects.
Your thoughts matter!
What are your thoughts? Do you like the #shorts concept or do you simply find it appalling? What did I miss? Take the opportunity to comment to steer the course of future content.
