Rec'd on 👩‍💻 4/17: FAVORITE NON-SOCIAL APP?
Notion and Notion Calendar
Forgot to add this to my previous post, I guess I really like my non-socials haha, but also I am surprised I haven’t seen ppl mention it
Notion: very helpful for organizing my life, both work and non-work, it is great for planning long-term projects or assignments, or birthdays and hobbies and budgeting. easy to use and fun when you really get the hang of things and use more features. if you have a student/school email, you get access to the premium-ish version. I’ve used my edu email for like 2 years now since graduating and I haven’t had any issues.
Notion calendar: is a new separate, off-shoot app. I don’t use the phone app as much but the desktop app is 10/10. I’ve connected all my gmail calendars which makes managing everything all at once much easier than trying to connect them all through one Google/apple calendar. It looks cleaner and still sends reminders

Is there good integration between notion calendar and Notion pages? for Example linking a dinner reservation or flight time in calendar to a notion page

soldierbirder yes! when u create an event in notion calendar, there is an option to create a corresponding page in notion, and decide where in your notion to put it :) alternatively, you can connect notion databases to your notion calendar, and toggle the view between all of your events or deadlines so you don’t get cals confused :)

Notion is my second brain
Somebody has probably already recd this before but I will not stop going on about notion.
I am a very forgetful person, and it’s important for me to write stuff down or it will be GONE from my brain. Notion is the most customisable organisation tool you will have. If you would prefer something a bit more pre-structured I wouldn’t totally recommend it , BUT.. there are hundreds of templates out there that other users have created.
I found it quite overwhelming at first starting with a blank page, so I used the template below to start, then customised it to my liking.
I use notion most for note taking at uni, but you can practically use it for anything you can think of. (I also use it to save my fav baking recipes and also a budget tracker XD)
You can get it on both desktop and phone as well and have everything synced up which is nice too. The only thing that it a bit annoying is that there is no auto spell check.. but pros outweigh the cons for me.

NOTION
love using it for planners, trackers, to-do lists, and even brainstorming for creative projects
there's enough customization for it to feel personal, but not SO much that I can endlessly procrastinate with the customization features lmao
as an android user who doesn't have icloud, I also love an app where I can log in on both mobile and desktop

Notion
the best app for sundry notetaking. meta as i’m typing this on notion and as perfectly imperfect seems to format with it, but i was forcing myself into proficiency or daily use with evernote or the notes app and they never really stuck. then notion showed up and it all clicked. i use it for journaling, reading lists, sketch ideas for work, and therapy notes, which leads me to…

Chani & libby :)
CHANI: love learning astrology in very informative, justice-mindful ways. It’s quiet because there’s no adding friends or anything, really just focused on what’s happening and how it might affect us or the world around us. i pay for a monthly subscription because I liked the content I was getting as a free user, and I find everything helpful.
Libby: I love connecting all my library cards to the app bc it makes it easier to have access to books and magazines! :’) I can read them on my kindle, but also I’ve been using the audiobooks lately and they are great when driving around. i was nervous to try audiobooks but the “reading speed” adjustment is very exacting and easy to handle. <3
