![]() If that definition of success isn't your cup of tea, then go ask who you perceive as the most productive person you work with. I bet twenty bucks that the most common answers to that question, when limited to the note-taking space, are: Nothing, and Apple Notes. Subsequently: Go ask the CEO or other leaders of your company the systems they use to stay organized. Running on a treadmill (and spending hours a week planning that run) so to speak. I would love to see a broader intensive study on this topic, but just from my observations: its youtube and tik tok creators with a few thousand viewers, people who may actually be rather busy but don't drive much success from what they do. I'm going to be a little mean here, but I think it needs to be said: "How to be productive in Notion" videos and template sales sites and such are always made by boringly unsuccessful people. Eventually people started to realize that they were lost in the process of writing Notion docs rather than focusing on getting work done, but it took a long time. Executives would praise the team for being so organized and always having so much to show in presentations. The sad part was that it worked, at least for a while. Yet they could barely do any product management work that we needed to ship product because their whole world revolves around building Notion pages rather than building products. They had hundreds of Notion pages that supposedly collected everything and show them in meetings, slide decks, and at every chance they had as proof that they were on top of things. The Product Management group at my last company was the worst at this. ![]() It turns into an exercise where the Notion document becomes the goal, rather than a tool to help get work done. My last two jobs have had groups that adopted Notion and tried to use heaps of rules and templates and emojis that they wanted everyone to use to structure and document everything in Notion. The same thing happens in the workplace, too. You can create them yourself within seconds, but that's the nature of the "productivity industry", you get big bucks for the mere idea that your product will make their life easier/faster. I also don't get the notion template hype on gumroad/etsy/producthunt/etc. But again, blog notes are rarely changing so you see the pattern here I hope. Also I will say, with their API you can technically hook up whatever databases you have within Notion for use, so it can easily become a place to store your blog notes and use them without copying/pasting. Think: internal team documents in one central place (less active) vs updating your app's documentation multiple times an hour (more active), the latter of which is not what Notion is good for at all. It's a less "active" tool, which is also why for some people I think Notion is the wrong solution but for others works great. I can see why some do however, it's a solid second brain organizational tool, somewhere to place things "long term" and keep them. Instead, you will need to use the Mac App Store software to reinstall the program.This isn't an endorsement for Notion, I also dislike it and use other tools. ![]() If you purchased from the Mac App Store, you will not have a licence number. Please note, however, that we will be unable to retrieve licences for purchases made more than ten years ago (to comply with data protection regulations, our payment providers automatically delete customer information older than ten years). Simply send an email to our sales team at and we will look up your details for you. If you no longer have access to the email address you used upon purchase, don't worry. Be sure to use the appropriate form box (when in doubt, try both). As we switched licence providers on June 26th 2019, you will notice that there are two form boxes on this page: one for orders placed on or after this date, and one for orders placed before this date. If you deleted this email or do not have access to it, the first thing to do is visit our Lost Licence Recovery page, which will allow you to have your licence details sent to you immediately. If you still have the original confirmation email that was sent to you at the time of purchase, you should find your licence number there.
