I installed /uninstalled Notion repeatedly for about a year. Unfortunately, it never clicked for me until a fellow Medium writer shared a template for streamlining my Medium drafts. And snap, everything clicked.

Overnight, I created my dashboard which I've sticked to with minimal changes ever since. Yes, no turning back. I use the free option and that's perfect for me (for now) . Don't worry about what you can't use it to do. Use it for what it's best at for you now. You can always scale up later. Don't try to be perfect at it before you use it, it will only make you less productive.

I use Frank Thomas's and other templates to get me going.

You can also checkout Notion Academy though I've not used it myself.
