This may not be relevant to the effectiveness of the Command Center but I'm having trouble stacking the task view and notes view table side by side as seen in your tutorial. Is there a step to achieve that format?
Recently I've been lamenting on Reddit about how difficult onboarding Notion is. Maybe this video, at 1/4 speed and stopping every the second will finally get me to the promised land. Thanks for the effort.
Finally a tutorial I don't have to put in 1.5+ plus speed and skipping ahead 5 minutes waiting for them to get to the point. I'll assume many people do not know you can select the playback speed + -. Don't slow down Gettr Done.
This is by far the best Notion video I have seen. I've been trying to get into Notion, but I watch one tutorial and I instantly feel overwhelmed. But with this video I could easily follow along, and I have now setup my own basic LifeOS. Not only that, I actually have a basic understanding of how it works, so I can play around with all the different options myself. Thanks Jeff!
I have been using notion since 2019 probably and watched so many tutorials across the years to try and make my organization more efficient and this by far is the most informative video I have watched. Clear, to the point, tells you what you need, why you might need it and SHOWS you how to set it up with tips and shortcuts. Thank you! Please do more of this 🙏 Subscribed.
A well designed app and smart company behind it should not be so difficult to get up and running for the average user.. who likely has used other note taking apps before, i.e, Evernote, OneNote, Apple Notes.. then with Notion, the same people go into complete brain lock and cannot figure out even where to start.. and then they give up.
🤯Mind Blown. I have struggled for over 2 years to wrap my head around Notion. I have even purchased an expensive ££ per-made templates and thought that was what I was missing. However, I never used it because it was just too complicated. Your video breaks it down into simple steps. Get a 'foundation-level' understanding and then add a new feature. THANK YOU!!!! You are a star 🌟
I watched multiple tutorials and I'm still not confident with using Notion. This is the best tutorial so far. I've learned so much more than all the other tutorials combined.
I have always been intrigued by Notion but have always been overwhelmed just getting started and uninstall it. Other videos try to go from zero to controlling your entire life. This was simple and easy to follow. I will be rewatching and setting up my own LifeOS! I would LOVE an additional video with your entire HQ setup in this same format. Thanks, Jeff!
3 months after watching this video and maintaining the habit of a clean Notion LifeOS system, and all I can say is my work & life feels so much more under control. Thanks for sharing, Jeff!
I watched this on 2x speed lol. Please don’t be discouraged by the comments saying this is too fast-everyone learns differently and I appreciated your brevity. I think this video is most helpful to those who have either already messed around in notion a little or who are familliar with basic inline formatting/other simple coding (as opposed to the absolute beginner).
YOu gotta give this guy the recognition and respect for making this awesome and detailed video, PLUS all the animations and sound you put into. Thanks brotha
I've been using Notion since approx. 3 years, but I was always scared of those databases etc., so I sticked to using it as a notepad... However, YOUR VIDEO CHANGED EVERYTHING! The pace, the direct information and thorough explanation alongside make up for the best formula to learn anything (at least for me)! Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial, now I can go and create my own LifeOS!
Jeff, yours is the only video that is clear to help me understand how Notion works! I have watched so many videos, I almost wanted to go back to iOS stock notes, calendar and reminders, but this video gives me confidence to stay on Notion.
Thank you Jeff for another awesome, informative, and clear video! I love how direct, easy going, and useful your videos are. As a new creator, trying to set up my own side business, and wanting to organize it using Notion, this is so helpful, and is bite sized :) THANK YOU!
Dude, I have 3 years using Notion and personally I have never seen a more straight to the point video than this one. You go fast but with ctrl+tab is easy to switch and follow you. Thank you very much. Like the video and already subscribed
This was exactly what I was looking for. I've tried to use Notion many times but am always overwhlemed and end up going back to notepad or inotes. This was the best way to organize things I've found, thank you!
This is one of the BEST Notion videos I’ve seen! Great approach. This will help me to clean up and consolidate my Notion mess into something that is useful. I would love to see the entire HQ video. Thank you!
Brilliant. You successfully crammed 60 minutes of instructions into 18 minutes. Houston: we have lift off. Thank you. I have subscribed and will be searching for more of your Notion content. Thank you.
I just created a Notion account to help me manage my severe ADHD by amalgamating many different facets of both my professional and my personal life, and didn't know where or how to begin, but Notion sure seems like the answer. I spent a couple of days getting excited and overwhelmed with the variety of free templates out there (copying a bunch to my account), without knowing what really suits my needs. Then, I stumbled onto your video and thought that it was a great place to start, just getting to know the basics and then build (or copy) from there. Thanks so much for your timely tutorial . . . and as for you talking fast, I just turned my playback speed down to 0.75 . . . and then to 0.5, and that worked! 🙂 I'd love to see more of your ideas on how to expand upon the bones of what you had us build. I'm not much of a hotkey command kind of guy though, aside from the 3 or 4 standards that everyone knows.
@@deedunn9811 No worries! It definitely is a game changer, and it's a wonderful way to learn foreign languages. Decreasing playback speed is how I learned to pray the prayers of my faith in Latin.
Thanks for taking the time to do these. Your videos and explainations are excellent and easy to understand. Thanks for helping us be as savvy as you are! Appreciate it!
I installed notion last week and I have been looking for a beginner friendly video on how to get started then this showed up today, Jeff only if this comment section can express my emotions right now, it'll be filled with this "😁😁😁😁😁😁😁". Thanks for all you're doing.
Nice one Jeff, thanks! Do you centralize as much as you can on Notion? Or do you use sometimes Apple Notes? for note taking? Any thought about Notion Calendar? Thanks man!
What an awesome Notion tutorial!!! This video tells what, how and why should I use Notion. Really helps with finding different Notion use cases. Love it! Thank you!
Thank you. At first it was pretty hard because you speak so fast and I was copying the stuff you did in Notion without understanding the whole concept. After rewatching the video I understood all. Thanks!
This was seriously so helpful. Finally got started in Notion, rather than freezing up every time I try to do anything in there. So thank you very much for this video!
This is AMAZING!! Thank you Jeff! I had to use the pause button a million times and some of the newer Notion options are different but even I was able to create my own LifeOS!!!
Seriously the best Notion tutorial on RUclips! :) My brain just doesn't have the patience for long ass videos, so I'm really digging this pace + style of teaching! Thank you so much.
Dude, your video is "how to get started with Notion". You're going so fast we don't even know what is being affected by the things we're doing. I am having a hell of a time switching between Notion and RUclips every 3 seconds (not exaggerating) to go back 5 seconds because you just introduced a new concept or did some shortcut without explaining the logic behind the shortcuts or block elements. It's going to take me 40 minutes to get through this 18 minute video.
Need Your complete Life OS with the HQ centre complete tutorial video Urgentlyyyyyyy...Pls make a complete video on it.Pls don't keep it payed can't afford. :(
Wow! This is so helpful. I've tried so many Notion Tutorials but nothing actually helped me understand how it works or how to use it. Thanks so much! I finally know how to implement this
This was the most helpful video I've watched. As a beginner Notion user, you have helped me understand the basics and I'm ready to move forward in customizing my business and my life. Thank you, Jeff!
Well that definitely earned a sub. Rock solid demo. Like others, I’ve picked up and put down Notion a few times. I characterize Notion as MS Word, Excel, and Access all in one. Frankly, an overwhelming mouthful (ie application). This intro has me willing to give it another shot. Thank you!
My man Jeff! I saw another intro to Notion video. Clicked off it, realizing it was too complicated. When in fact, I was going too deep into the rabbit hole. What you have shown here is more than enough for my purposes, and I love it. I got my last year of engineering coming up, super excited to see if notion is the one for me :)
Brilliant as always, Jeff! Your videos are like a pit stop service in Formula 1. No bullshit, no time wasting, just packed high-quality stuff. You could probably win the PitStop Award for this :)! I would be happy to see an extended video that could probably help to understand how to deal with different PROJECTS at work and in personal life, and how to make the database really meaningful over the years (how to set the right foundation), how to STORE, TAG, SEARCH and USE information. I would also be grateful if you could describe how your whole "LifeOS" works. I mean not just in Notion, but how it connects to other tools and techniques. E.g. what you store in Google Drive, how it's connected to Notion, how you avoid duplication of information, how you take notes, how you've developed a skill to track important segments in conversations/documents/concepts and a skill to ask the right questions. P.S. Oh, and the organizational structure for all the prompts you use, or even the prompt collection? Sweet dreams! But I would be happy to pay for it!
oh my gosh, definitely the best video I’ve watched on notion! also please consider this an additional vote to see a video on your current command centre!
Thank you so much for creating and sharing this excellent tutorial! I am still overwhelmed by Notion but following this video I am beginning to understand it! Kudos, and thanks again for a job well done!
Thank you Jeff! Because of your videos I have learned so much from better AI engagement to understanding Notion. I have heard so much about Notion but as a novice user I found it hard to understand but thanks to you and this video I can at least understand some basics.
this was a great video - subscribed after this one video!! i actually understand how to use features in notion i didn't even know existed 🤯please do a video on your command centre - particularly on your button for "new day", as well as the areas & quick links!! 🙏🏽
This is absolutely the most succinct intro to Notion I've seen, yet I still think it's going to take me hours to set up - but I'm going to anyway because I think it will be really powerful for uni.
You are such a positive person. I'm curious why you say "Fortunately, unfortunately brought up in the US." I'm curious what you mean when you say that from time-to-time.
@@JeffSu Got ya. Meaning we're stubborn and stick to bizarre "American" individualism even when it means we measure in 12s instead of 10s, and buck the rest of the world's systems. 😀
Amazing tutorial, I was working on my notion while watching. I definitely had to go back many times at various points to get it, but I learn best by doing. Would love to see the full command center/HQ! Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise and teach others!
Jeff! I cannot thank you enough for this Notion video. I needed a video that could showcase the useful capabilities of Notion that I might be underutilizing and this video did exactly that. I've been a fan of your videos for a couple years now so when I saw your name when I searched for Notion tutorials, I knew this video would be extremely helpful. Thanks again!! (Also I was cracking up when you were giving your task examples hah)
Hi Jeff! I am a big fan of your videos. Amid the multitude of productivity videos, the conciseness of your content makes it much easier to follow. Cannot wait for the more advanced videos!
Excellent. I dont usually comment in videos but this one deserves that. Straight forward and easy to understand how to make the best use of notion. Thanks, Jeff
This video is only 6 months old and either I am completely missing a step somewhere, or they have changed some of the workflows, because I am having one heck of a time figuring out where the "copy existing view" option is! Aside from that, and honestly it's probably me not you --- excellent video to get me started using Notion! edit: Yup. Found it. Slightly different wording now, but there it is. Carry on with your day. Keep up with the great content.
Another fantastic video Jeff! I echo others - other Notion tutorials seem to take you from 0 to 100, and while I paused here and there to follow along, it was really easy to replicate the steps! So yes, would love an additional HQ tutorial, and definitely advise similar pacing and explanations for that one as well! Have been recommending you to anyone who has been curious about Notion!
Hey Jeff, great video! I’m a moderately experienced Notion user and your video helped reinforce some basic principles I’ve let slip from some of my recent designs.
Awesome notion structure. Would love a video of the entire command center and maybe see what you can come up with using AI in databases. This is now an onboarding video for my team!
Do I use notion? Nope. Do I get so many tips and pointers for my own “life os”? Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Also, thank you for putting this lightning quick video out. I’m just comparing the run time to the literal months of effort it would take me to get to this level if I ever use notion.
I never understood Notion, so the way you explained seems very very easy to follow along. Even tho for now I'll keep using tasks on my google calendar 😅
Other creators notion videos looks very overwhelming but this one looks hella simple. And yeah would love to see more videos on this. Also please create a separate playlist for notion. ♥
This was incredibly helpful! Can you do a video showing your FULL notion setup, like start to finish, where is the first place you go to everyday, and how the hierarchical structure works (personal, teamspaces, etc...)? Love the content.
@@JeffSu Any direction on a video of yours that would get me the closest to that idea? For example, I see you have your HQ / command center space, would you say that’s your launch point for everything else? Or is there a Home page or dashboard that’s higher level than that? Thanks,
Thanks for this fantastic tutorial, Jeff! I'm adding on to what others have said - you laid the basics out clearly in a way that makes sense when other tutorials left me confused or overwhelmed.
I have been using notion for a while now, mostly as a note taking app. This tutorial was super helpful to understand databases. I have a monthly process for my bookkeeping business that will definitely become more efficient by implementing databases. I will be on the lookout for relational databases set up next! It will be awesome to link different clients to the same processes! I am full of ideas. Thank you! And as others have said, this was super clear and easy to follow!
Hi Jeff, Keep up the good stuff man. This is a great place to start with Notion, just enough setup to make it useful but I don't feel like I'm drowning with relational databases. I have gone from full-time tradesman to working full-time at a desk and really had no idea what I was doing regarding how to structure my workflow. You have given me some great foundational frameworks that I have applied. I reckon it would be an interesting video to do a zero>hero framework for people like myself who go from trades and tools to designing a simple productive digital workflow. Almost like a zoomed-out architectural view. With all these tools to learn these days, it gets overwhelming. Anyways you're helping me design my most productive workflow! Thanks! ps this was not written with gpt.
Thanks for another great video, Jeff! I appreciate how detailed and clear you are with each step (including the keyboard shortcuts), and I just added an "upcoming" view to my own task list using your tips! Keep up the amazing work :)
Ahhh, This tutorial! I will be very helpfull to you for this tutorial. It is the best..... i have spent more than 5h in youtube for notion temps. They are quite complex and feels hard to use. But now i understood the basics of notion as well as built the first life os for myself. Thanks a lot Jeff.
This was really nice because it showed me what Notion can do in a very short amount of time. This is valuable because it Easily gives me an idea if I want to use it or another product.
Best tutorial I’ve seen but I would recommend making different section such as classes and still have task view that shows what due for all your classes

Recently I've been lamenting on Reddit about how difficult onboarding Notion is. Maybe this video, at 1/4 speed and stopping every the second will finally get me to the promised land. Thanks for the effort.
Let me know how it goes!
Honestly a great idea to slow down the video. This such a great video, just need to pause and rewatch parts due to Notion being so new to me!
Finally a tutorial I don't have to put in 1.5+ plus speed and skipping ahead 5 minutes waiting for them to get to the point. I'll assume many people do not know you can select the playback speed + -. Don't slow down Gettr Done.

I would be happy to see an extended video that could probably help to understand how to deal with different PROJECTS at work and in personal life, and how to make the database really meaningful over the years (how to set the right foundation), how to STORE, TAG, SEARCH and USE information.
I would also be grateful if you could describe how your whole "LifeOS" works. I mean not just in Notion, but how it connects to other tools and techniques. E.g. what you store in Google Drive, how it's connected to Notion, how you avoid duplication of information, how you take notes, how you've developed a skill to track important segments in conversations/documents/concepts and a skill to ask the right questions.
P.S. Oh, and the organizational structure for all the prompts you use, or even the prompt collection? Sweet dreams! But I would be happy to pay for it!
That might be a little too advanced for my audience BUT I can say that I have an awesome Google Workspace toolkit coming up with the prompts I use 😁
Omg that would be epic! Great thoughts!
oh my gosh, definitely the best video I’ve watched on notion!
also please consider this an additional vote to see a video on your current command centre!
Woohooo thanks 😁
Thank you so much for creating and sharing this excellent tutorial! I am still overwhelmed by Notion but following this video I am beginning to understand it! Kudos, and thanks again for a job well done!
You're very welcome 😁
In the first minute I learned more than I learned after three hours of poking around trying to get it to do what I wanted. Thank you!
That's what I love to hear!
Thank you Jeff!
Because of your videos I have learned so much from better AI engagement to understanding Notion. I have heard so much about Notion but as a novice user I found it hard to understand but thanks to you and this video I can at least understand some basics.
Glad to hear it 😁
this was a great video - subscribed after this one video!! i actually understand how to use features in notion i didn't even know existed 🤯please do a video on your command centre - particularly on your button for "new day", as well as the areas & quick links!! 🙏🏽
Welcome!!! And yes, will do!
This is absolutely the most succinct intro to Notion I've seen, yet I still think it's going to take me hours to set up - but I'm going to anyway because I think it will be really powerful for uni.
Woohooo glad to hear it 😁
You are such a positive person. I'm curious why you say "Fortunately, unfortunately brought up in the US." I'm curious what you mean when you say that from time-to-time.
Just making a joke 😂. Although I love my time spent in the US, I really can't endorse or even get used to using Fahrenheit, miles, pounds etc.
@@JeffSu Got ya. Meaning we're stubborn and stick to bizarre "American" individualism even when it means we measure in 12s instead of 10s, and buck the rest of the world's systems. 😀
😂@@jonstrocity
Jefff!! You are amazing with the shortcuts. Thaaank you
You're welcome 😁
Amazing tutorial, I was working on my notion while watching. I definitely had to go back many times at various points to get it, but I learn best by doing. Would love to see the full command center/HQ! Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise and teach others!
Thanks for letting me know!!
This video is perfect, literally perfect. Exactly what I needed to start using Notion. Keep these coming!!!
Woohoo thank you 😁
Jeff! I cannot thank you enough for this Notion video. I needed a video that could showcase the useful capabilities of Notion that I might be underutilizing and this video did exactly that. I've been a fan of your videos for a couple years now so when I saw your name when I searched for Notion tutorials, I knew this video would be extremely helpful. Thanks again!! (Also I was cracking up when you were giving your task examples hah)
Woohoo thank you 😁
Hi Jeff! I am a big fan of your videos. Amid the multitude of productivity videos, the conciseness of your content makes it much easier to follow. Cannot wait for the more advanced videos!
Woohooo I'm happy to hear that!
Excellent. I dont usually comment in videos but this one deserves that. Straight forward and easy to understand how to make the best use of notion. Thanks, Jeff
Thank you Jessica 😁
This video is only 6 months old and either I am completely missing a step somewhere, or they have changed some of the workflows, because I am having one heck of a time figuring out where the "copy existing view" option is! Aside from that, and honestly it's probably me not you --- excellent video to get me started using Notion!
edit: Yup. Found it. Slightly different wording now, but there it is. Carry on with your day. Keep up with the great content.
😂
Where did you found "copy existing view"? How do I find this? because I am having a hard time finding this.
Another fantastic video Jeff! I echo others - other Notion tutorials seem to take you from 0 to 100, and while I paused here and there to follow along, it was really easy to replicate the steps! So yes, would love an additional HQ tutorial, and definitely advise similar pacing and explanations for that one as well! Have been recommending you to anyone who has been curious about Notion!
Woohooo glad to hear it 😁
You’re a great teacher, Jeff! Thanks for all your awesome presentations.
Thanks so much Brett 😁
Hey Jeff, great video! I’m a moderately experienced Notion user and your video helped reinforce some basic principles I’ve let slip from some of my recent designs.
Wow I'm glad even you found value from this!!
Awesome notion structure. Would love a video of the entire command center and maybe see what you can come up with using AI in databases. This is now an onboarding video for my team!
Woohooo glad to hear it Mike!
Thanks Jeff for this video. Feel like a notion pro already. 😉
Sweeeet
That was a really nice video! Thanks for sharing. This was exactly what I needed :D
No problem 😁
Hi Jeff! Love your energy and sense of humour! 😂
I'm learning a lot with you! Thanks so much from Portugal. Keep going 😉
Thank you!! 😁
Do I use notion? Nope. Do I get so many tips and pointers for my own “life os”? Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Also, thank you for putting this lightning quick video out. I’m just comparing the run time to the literal months of effort it would take me to get to this level if I ever use notion.
Yayyyyy glad to hear it 😁
I never understood Notion, so the way you explained seems very very easy to follow along. Even tho for now I'll keep using tasks on my google calendar 😅
The best system is the one that works for you 😁
That was an awesome tutorial! I'm a new subscriber, and I'm excited to see more of your content. Congratulations on gaining a new follower!😂🎉
Thank you and welcome 😁
Other creators notion videos looks very overwhelming but this one looks hella simple. And yeah would love to see more videos on this. Also please create a separate playlist for notion. ♥
Woohooo glad to hear it 😁
This was incredibly helpful!
Can you do a video showing your FULL notion setup, like start to finish, where is the first place you go to everyday, and how the hierarchical structure works (personal, teamspaces, etc...)?
Love the content.
Also insane you respond to most or all comments. Props to you and the team
I might do one in the future!
I don't have a team :(
@@JeffSu Wow - even crazier. Props to you, the hustle is inspiring. Cheers mate
@@JeffSu Any direction on a video of yours that would get me the closest to that idea? For example, I see you have your HQ / command center space, would you say that’s your launch point for everything else? Or is there a Home page or dashboard that’s higher level than that?
Thanks,
Wow! Yes finally I got a starting point to use Notion from scratch and all credit goes to you, thanks you @Jeff Su
Yayyy happy to hear that haha
Thanks for this fantastic tutorial, Jeff! I'm adding on to what others have said - you laid the basics out clearly in a way that makes sense when other tutorials left me confused or overwhelmed.
Wooohooo thank you Rachel 😁
I have been using notion for a while now, mostly as a note taking app. This tutorial was super helpful to understand databases. I have a monthly process for my bookkeeping business that will definitely become more efficient by implementing databases. I will be on the lookout for relational databases set up next! It will be awesome to link different clients to the same processes! I am full of ideas. Thank you! And as others have said, this was super clear and easy to follow!
You're welcome! 😁
Hi Jeff, Keep up the good stuff man. This is a great place to start with Notion, just enough setup to make it useful but I don't feel like I'm drowning with relational databases. I have gone from full-time tradesman to working full-time at a desk and really had no idea what I was doing regarding how to structure my workflow. You have given me some great foundational frameworks that I have applied. I reckon it would be an interesting video to do a zero>hero framework for people like myself who go from trades and tools to designing a simple productive digital workflow. Almost like a zoomed-out architectural view. With all these tools to learn these days, it gets overwhelming. Anyways you're helping me design my most productive workflow! Thanks! ps this was not written with gpt.
Woohoo that's great to hear, and LOL thanks for letting me know you didn't use GPT to write this
Thanks for another great video, Jeff! I appreciate how detailed and clear you are with each step (including the keyboard shortcuts), and I just added an "upcoming" view to my own task list using your tips! Keep up the amazing work :)
That's awesome May! Glad this was helpful!!!
Thanks for the tutorial. I can actually start using Notion now. Not sure if it's just me but this is your first video I had to watch at 0.75x!
😂 sorry I'll try to slow down next time
Ahhh, This tutorial! I will be very helpfull to you for this tutorial. It is the best..... i have spent more than 5h in youtube for notion temps. They are quite complex and feels hard to use. But now i understood the basics of notion as well as built the first life os for myself. Thanks a lot Jeff.
No problem! 😁
This was really nice because it showed me what Notion can do in a very short amount of time. This is valuable because it Easily
gives me an idea if I want to use it or another product.
That's what I love to hear! 😁
TYSM! I've been struggling with productivity recently and this video 100% helps!!
Glad to hear it!!
you are the benchmark for tutorial editing and presentation
Haha thank you!!!😁
Best tutorial I’ve seen but I would recommend making different section such as classes and still have task view that shows what due for all your classes
Woohooo happy to see this!
Love the energy! Thanks for the video. Super informative and fun. Definitely keen for more 🤩
Sweeeet!
This is the best video I have seen. I nearly gave up on Notion
Thank you! 😁
by far the best notion tutorial..
Thank you 😁
