![]() ![]() □ It’s actually just minimalism at its best! There are a couple of page-style choices, and beyond that you just focus on structure. I recently shared Notion as an option with someone in a Facebook business group who clearly needed something like it, and he snubbed it bc it wasn’t pretty. Of all the project management apps I’ve tried over the last 6 years, Notion is by far the easiest to use while still being a robust platform that’s also incredibly customizable. Want to know more about those other options? ![]() Win-Win!īut switching systems can be hella overwhelming (I should know I'm kind of an expert at it now □). Since I’ve tried so many (Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Airtable, –the list literally goes on), I know how my clients reacted to using each of them with me and Notion happens to be my favorite to use by far AND also the path of least resistance with my clients. I know, I know I just murdered that song. –I mean, I went all-in! Then I found Notion & the heavens opened up and the angels began to sing! □ I used 3 of those for at least 1-2 years, each. I also researched a few others like Monday and Basecamp, but never pulled the trigger. Others I tried briefly or never fully went all-in on, but used occasionally & still have accounts with are Zenkit, Airtable, Dubsado’s task management boards, and Quire.io. Milanote, which is great for a lot of custom visual layouts like basic mind-mapping, creating a user journey’s visual path (ie: A → B ↓ C …etc), brand or mood boards, using it kinda like a whiteboard, and more but it lacks the robust data organization of other apps across the board. ![]() It genuinely is a great platform, just not a great fit for everyone because of the steeper learning curve & expansive feature set. ![]() I used it on/off for 2–3 years, jumping ship and coming back in cycles. That said, they’re the most robust option I’ve come across so far and the hardest to learn. It also doesn’t have native access to a global calendar showing all dates from across the team, being board-specific there are workarounds but it seems like an odd necessity for a PM tool.ĬlickUp was a really neat find, and their UI is really clean, modern & customizable. It’s great for individual use & can work for teams depending on how it’s set up, but the second clients get involved, it can get messy very quickly. Trello: I used it for years, and even implemented it at my 9-5 as a free way to manage production throughout the building (which they’ve been using now for 5+ years as of posting). I’m sure I gripe about this somewhere else on my blog. Over the last 6 years, I excitedly found, set up, and used a series of PM tools in my search to find the one that works best for me, going through 8 or 9 apps total!īesides Notion, here are the main PM tools I’ve also tried (the longest):Īsana, which is fun to use & relatively simplistic, while still being robust,…however a lot of the features I wanted were on a paid plan and it’s by far the most expensive (literally like 3-4x as much) to upgrade if you want access to the paid-only features which make the platform so robust. (Yeeeeeeah, let’s call it “research” –totally not “shiny object syndrome.”) □ Why Notion, though? I did the “research” & decided to try it. I could legit talk about Notion (& productivity in general) for days, and I actually plan to talk & share more about it here and on the blog because it’s become so integral to my processes here at LTDT, –juuuust not in one post. I’ve *actually* tried (what feels like) everything, and IMHO Notion is the bee’s-knees of productivity apps. Then there's hope on the horizon! Because it doesn't have to be like that, and I'd really love to help you fix it. Working in a Google doc with comments and highlighted changes, but still missing deadlines and skipping steps.įorcing your client to use an app they aren't familiar or comfortable with and all you hear is crickets. Sending a ton of emails back and forth, losing track of this or that, missing deadlines and skipping steps. If you have a service-based business, how have you been collecting information from your client that you need to provide that service? ![]()
