    Notion has been so helpful for managing Math, Data science, Coding everything together. Just create a basic page under toggle list with each topic and divide them into 3 topics(or lectures) per day with practice questions and you are making progress everyday. Also I avoided those pinterest extra complicated templates from Day 1 lol. Aesthetics are hard to maintain when you have sooo much to do

    Thanks for your Notion usage tipps & tricks, especially how to begin with overview of pages with toggle topic Q&As. I started Notion looking at templates w/o seeing the pros&cons for my notes, so I used directly Notion elements (numbered list item, datetime, ..., multi column table) but fallback into writing my notes in plain .txt or plain .html, which is only fast w/o layout and more work to give them a useful style.

    The Template advise is actually good. In the beginning I used them and did not care at all. But then I build my own stuff and suddenly realized how great it is. Some things dont have to be complex. Or you view and organize something differently. That´s why you should build stuff yourself.

    So true about "don't use templates". When I just started using it, I downloaded templates, tried to get my head aorund them, eventualy it got so overwhelming that I just dave up and was about to delete the app LOL. Then I decided to play with it by myself, created a page from scratch. My notion does not look as fancy as one of those RUclips videos, it is ssuper bassic. But I already benefit from the app. It really facilitates organizartion. I need more practice though.

    • @AmanManazir

  • @alfredbasi5937
    @alfredbasi5937 Год назад +1

    the point that he makes about how your study technique should actually change based on the subject really resonated with me.....when you are going through tons of tutorials trying to learn how notion, remnote or any note-taking apps in general work....you'll mostly find medical related study framework on how to use these apps, as they really shine when it comes to memorization, testing and linking stuff. My issue was that being an ECE student, I always had to deal with maths, circuits and stuff and I struggled making notes about such math-driven subjects on remnote and notion. I used to screenshot equations and numericals into notion but it seemed really ineffective to me. To deal with the issue, I started making digital notes in one-note using a graphic tablet. As it has a has a infinite canvas, I can make some really awesome notes (and add them to notion/remnote by screenshotting because I don't want to lose on the benefits of "looking into the big picture" and linking various topics lol)

    • @srivatsavm3892
      @srivatsavm3892 Год назад +1

      If you're struggling with saving math equation digitally, I highly recommend you to learn LaTeX. It is really easy to learn(1 week to go advanced typing). Now I'm kinda fast with it and my notes are looking beautiful!! If you seek simplicity, use Obsidian for note-taking as it is almost twice as easier as using Notion. Anyways, good luck on your future studies ^_^
