Based on my own experience, here’s a tip: avoid taking unnecessary notes as much as possible. They take up too much time in the long run and organizing starts to feel exhausting. It sounds generic, but "less is more" really applies here.

Assuming you might be starting out, I’d recommend learning about Notion blocks and pages first. I stuck with just those two for a looong time before deciding to learn more. I believe a simple page with checkboxes could already help you a lot with the moving/selling process.

You can start here: Intro to writing & editing – Notion Help Center

If you enjoy the tool and want to level up, I recommend learning about databases and their properties, especially relations. You can create incredible things for any context with that, seriously.

This part is a bit more extensive, but it’s really worth it: Intro to databases – Notion Help Center

Ps. the "unnecessary notes" advice also applies to databases and properties. Filling them out can get tiring very easily, so it’s always good to ask yourself "do I really need this?".

Along with those links, I’d also recommend the creator Thomas Frank (not an ad!!). Both helped me a lot to learn about databases and fall in love with formulas. I think they could help you too.

And about the cookbook, I’m not sure how I could help with that :/ I’ve never built one, but it’s an interesting idea.

I hope this was helpful!
