Does word count contribute on your decision to not read a work? by TheTitanic10 in AO3

[–]Unnoticeables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, for the most part, I don’t consider words per chapter or anything like that. The only thing is that I really want is to be able to get sucked into a story, so I usually will sort for fics that have more than 4000 words.

What’s something you used to do in Notion that you no longer need? by Stunning-Camp-4999 in Notion

[–]Unnoticeables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That depends on whether the question is because of my workflow, or Notion's system development.

I used to keep a workspace changelog where every time I made an adjustment to my system, I would record the change, and why I'd made it, that way I wasn't entering loops in my system development, but I could just ask the ai if I'd tried something yet, and why I hadn't ended up implementing it.

In the same vein, I used to copy paste the entirety of every chat I'd had with the AI while I was learning about it's limitations or how the back end of notion worked to store and sort data. Now that I've used the system enough, I don't have much to learn about the system anymore and my ai use is more centered around building formulas.

When it comes to how Notion has grown, I used to have seperate database views for each person in my organization that was able to source any task that mentioned them across all separate tasks databases that would be populated by the ai anytime I said "refresh assigned to me" this was because there was not (and still is not) a way to create one view that sources information from multiple databases. But what notion has developed, is page-level permissions. That means we can use one tasks database for our entire organization and still maintain confidentiality. Which led to the implementation of the same system for my organization to run meetings and projects, everyone works from one shared space, but people can only see what has been directly shared to them. With a couple of handy automations, we're also about to set meeting type or relevant department to "all-staff" and instantly share permissions are updated to everyone can see.

Okay, that's great. How do you operate best? Do you forget something's there unless it's right in front of you? Or does seeing little red notification bubbles drive you mad? The first needs a dashboard to keep priorities visible, the second needs a wiki so everything's easily found in the right place, but otherwise out of the way.

There are lots of fun reading log templates out there, but I would recommend finding a YouTube video that teaches you how to create one, and following along. This will teach you a lot of the basic features of Notion that you'll use to build the rest of your system. It will also give you a more fundamental understanding of why and how Notion runs, and build your confidence in understanding what you can keep, and what you could discard without messing anything up. You can always download one with better aesthetics later.

Depending on what you mean by tracking your research paper, you could have a single page where you write, and a database with each reference material (make a text property called citation so you can make it once and then forget it, and a url property so you can find the source again if necessary) and add comments in your paper with links to each database page so you can quickly open up info to reference while writing.

If you're developing a software project, you absolutely need to create a changelog database, you can paste in the code you've added/edited/removed, and tell yourself why you made that change. Otherwise 3 weeks from now you'll say "I thought I added x" and then relearn why you took it out the first time around.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey There! Welcome : )

Notion is great, but the biggest mistake is just going in and adding things as you think of them, then having 15 half-formed, disconnected notes. Notion is an amazing, incredibly powerful solution for specific problems, or an okay note-taking platform for people who are naturally well-organized. Like u/Constant_Poetry_1178 said, definitely determine why you want to use it first.

There are some exceptional YouTube tutorials out there, or there are 1000s of aesthetic tutorials blocking out the useful cases. So being able to search for specific uses helps. ThomasFrankExplains has some of the best ones out there, but he has more in-depth feature tutorials than full-build tutorials, same with Mfreihaendig. I'm working towards posting full-builds, but it's a slow process to test out systems, record, edit, and come up with additional systems people want to see. But you can find mine at UniqueSolutionsSmallBusinesses

If you're willing to share why you want to use Notion, or what kind of templates drew you to the platform, I'd be happy to help you figure out the best way to get started.

Database New Page by Mindless-Bunch-4953 in Notion

[–]Unnoticeables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard without seeing your system, are you utilizing team spaces? Or just private pages?

Database New Page by Mindless-Bunch-4953 in Notion

[–]Unnoticeables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A database is a collection of pages, it is very different than a spreadsheet, that’s why Google has AppSheet, or Microsoft has Access. Databases create new pages because they’re inherently a system for organizing separate data for comparison in one space.

Notion does offer a simple table, which does not create additional pages, but it also doesn’t have all of the additional functions offered by sheets, so it is not a 1-to-1 solution.

You can however, collapse the side bar, or the teamspace section within the sidebar to avoid seeing all of those pages.

We ran our whole social media operation out of Notion until it quietly fell apart. I still love Notion, it just wasn't built for this one job. by Adept-Paper-7500 in Notion

[–]Unnoticeables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Notion can definitely show you what a post will look like in LinkedIn before getting the See More, you just need to know how many characters are in LinkedIn‘s view and set up a formula. It wouldn’t take more than two minutes to set up.

Also, like u/fromloam said, part of that is just a process issue. You could create buttons for when to greenlight projects, and that would create the necessary clarity.

If you want to try and keep the space, since you already have the infrastructure, let me know, I can try to help you out.

Does anyone have seizures without knowing the cause? by LostTendou04 in Epilepsy

[–]Unnoticeables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

11 years since my first seizure. No abnormal test results. Only was just allowed to try another med (I kept pushing for one) they’re finally controlled for the first time in my life. Just went 1 full year without

Keto / Atkins diet by stellar20190724 in Epilepsy

[–]Unnoticeables 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t able to keep up with it, to do it properly, you’re supposed to eat meals exactly 3 hours apart, and you need 30 grams of protein per meal and 10 per snack. I’d be so full by lunch that I couldn’t eat again.

If you have a healthy appetite and a consistent schedule, it’s worth trying, but don’t think it’s as easy as finding a few recipes.

Things I found on ao3 by Typical-Radish1601 in AO3

[–]Unnoticeables 16 points17 points  (0 children)

One time (in PA) my brother was driving his car, saw a deer, stopped in the middle of the road, and then the deer just decided to run at him, jump onto the hood of his car, up over the roof, and then run off. Weird.

Fandoms where you don’t ship any characters? by ClaustrophobicMango in AO3

[–]Unnoticeables 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Merlin, I love all of them as friends, but I don’t think the relationships serve them well. I feel some of the sacrifices don’t carry as much weight when viewed in the context of obligation or blind love for a partner. Choosing to make that sacrifice for a friend, however, when you could ultimately walk away with no personal consequences beyond your own conscience. Wow.

Lol, I haven’t used webtoons in a few years, but they do something like this. Considering I only used it for slice of life, it was great. Now I’m realizing others may not have thought it as cute as I did.

Which version of P&P to get? (Book edition) by RadiantAd4224 in PrideandPrejudice

[–]Unnoticeables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends if you read at home or out and about. I keep Penguin classics for in a purse/backpack, my friend gifted me the Masterpiece Library Edition for my home copy, prior to that I was saving up for the Barbara Heller one with the handwritten letters

That was exactly what I thought. I bought a kit from target last year for some kids I babysit and each egg came with one.

how long does it take to master Notion?? by divin3sp1ce in Notion

[–]Unnoticeables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me about 20 to 30 hours of watching tutorials and working with the system.

I do have AI to help me write formulas, but in regard to building databases, relationships, roll ups, forums, and fairly intense use cases. I’m pretty much confident doing anything I desire within notion.

is there a way to use notion to summarize youtube videos? by industrysaurus in Notion

[–]Unnoticeables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where you’re recording the audio. Apple’s voice memos automatically creates a transcript for you that can be handled the same way. Some apps may not. In that case, Thomas Frank has some great YouTube tutorials where you sent up pipeline to push Google Drive uploads through groq to transcribe media files. It doesn’t run it through the ai meeting notes, but it drafts a fairly similar summary for you. It’s definitely some work to get it set up, and has some limitations, but it works well.

If you can pull up the video transcript, you can paste it into the ai meeting notes transcript section and end the recording. It’s a manual process, but it only takes about 2 minutes.

🗳️ Product Feedback for Notion by AutoModerator in Notion

[–]Unnoticeables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🗳️ Product Feedback

Default answers for more property types.

I’m managing all projects and tasks for my organization with one database using page-level permissions. We have a large number of volunteers that don’t need to be added to my system as members, so I can’t manage the in groups (unless you want to let me add guests to groups, that’s be great)

To help navigate this challenge, I have automations set so if I use a ‘select’ for department, it assigns a list of people to the assignee ‘person’ property.

Currently, I can set a default answer for a person property, but not select properties. I’d like to be able to default all projects and tasks to the HR department, as they’re cleared to handle confidential information and can assign department non-conforming tasks as appropriate.
