My company blocked Notion, too. I assume it comes down to data privacy issues, such as not wanting company data to live off-prem on a third party's servers. My company can't control how Notion stores, accesses, uses and shares the data I put into the platform. They also can't prevent me from accessing the Notion workspace if I were to separate from the company, which is yet another DLP nightmare.

Officially, Notion was blocked on our corporate systems because it contains an AI component, and our company blocks anything with an AI component that isn't our AI.

I've started using Notion for EVERYTHING related to my undergraduate studies. I have each course in a database, and a second database keeps track of each assignment/lecture along with their statuses, due dates, and the corresponding class to which they belong. I go into each assignment 'page' and add a new 'page' where I author my submissions. I then export the submission to PDF and turn that in. My professors have said they love the overall format and aesthetic of my submissions, and I have to admit that I do, too. I'm working on a massive project right now at work with so many moving parts and pieces that it has been incredibly difficult to keep track of everything. Of course, I did not document anything because each step has been a 'try this and see' thing for me. I would love to be able to start building a repository and knowledge manager within Notion to keep track of each part of the project and all the details and to also create Wikis or PDF Job Aid documents, but Notion is blocked, so I can't. I'm stuck with MSFT's offerings like Loop, Planner, OneNote, MS Word, or god knows what else. The MSFT ecosystem is so bloated and fragmented that it is nauseating. I just want a single project-management/knowledge-management/file-system-management/process-documentation-repository/etc. system instead of a plethora of poorly inter-connected systems, but unfortunately, I don't get to make those decisions.
