what is Notion?⁉️

Notion says on their website:

Notion is a single space where you can think, write, and plan.

It can be thought of as a wiki, a place to hold and organize community or company knowledge. But it can also be a powerful tool for an individual to organize their own knowledge.

I like to think of Notion as a block-based, note-taking app with database functionality.

<aside> 💁🏻‍♀️ Notion has a web app, a desktop app, and a mobile app. The mobile app is really good! You can easily switch between Notion accounts (personal and work). I’m not a huge fan of the desktop app since you can’t have multiple tabs open, and I find that the web app is more reliable.
