![]() ![]() It’s easy to add things from my browser or phone and sort them in Collections.Īn alternative is Mind, but it doesn’t have as many features as Raindrop and it’s also x5 more expensive (I’m actually using the generous free version of Raindrop at the moment, but I will transition to the paid version soon). There are so many bookmarking apps out there, but the best one so far has been Raindrop. It’s also a plus that I will now have a dedicated place for taking quick notes during client meetings.įYI, I wrote this article in Bear, then exported it in markdown to put it on my website. And it’s mostly free unless you want some advanced features and customisation, which costs only £15 per year. Up to now, I’ve been writing my articles in Notion… and wow! I didn’t realise how bad it is for writing.īear is a clean, markdown based editor. I’m glad that someone else decided to do it! The design is great as well! Bear for note-taking and writingīear is another app that I discovered recently. I had this exact product idea 2 years ago but never executed on it. The idea of Timestripe is that you define your life goals, then break those goals to yearly goals, then monthly, then weekly and then finally daily. I discovered Timestripe earlier this week and I am already loving it! I never really got into it, so throughout 2021, I will “de-ticktick-imize” myself.įor now, I will continue using it for habit tracking and important deadlines but will look into completely moving away from it later in the year. ![]() I have tried using TickTick for almost 2 years now - for calendar, habits, daily tasks, project management and so on. As I’m writing this, I realised that I could transition these kanban boards to Trello. I also keep boards for any new product ideas, blog posts, etc. Within that subpage, I can scope, plan and write notes regarding that project. I have a page for every client and product, so whenever there is a new project, I create a new subpage. I use Notion for personal project management. We can also discuss a specific item and any questions the client might have straight into Trello, so I minimise the number of emails and can keep the discussion in the context of the item. It’s a straightforward workflow that works on both ends. Once the items have been completed, I move them to the invoice and then paid columns for my own records. The client can see what is there to be done, what’s currently in progress, and what’s ready to be reviewed/completed. I use Trello to keep my clients up to date with any ongoing projects. It’s like trying to use hammer for everything - it works great for nails, but there are also screws along the way. Trying to use Notion for everything is going to lose you time and add unnecessary burden to your life. Notion will never be better that these niched down products. ![]() There are teams out there that have worked for years to develop a great product in one specific thing. Notion is good for certain things but bad for most other things. There are still several things to figure out which I will flag throuhgout the article.Ī lot of people out there try to use Notion (or similar products such as Roam Research) for everything. The overhead all of managing this is daunting at times, so over the last week I have tried to standardise my workflow ahead of 2021. I run a freelance business with several ongoing clients, build & acquire products, write blog posts across multiple websites, workout and travel on a full-time basis. ![]()
