This is hands down one of the most practical and entertaining breakdowns of Notion for writers I've seen! The ‘Notion as a digital Swiss Army knife’ analogy is spot on. I especially love the idea of using it as a feedback tracker. The struggle of keeping beta reader notes organized is real. Definitely going to try and implement some of these strategies.
I love Notion, I've used it for a few years now and it works brilliantly for my writing. I tried to utilise it when I undertook my masters but it didn't work the same way. I love the customisation and it keeps improving.
In my experience, it's important for every writer to find his own system to improve his productivity. Notion is certainly a tool that can help you do that. It depends on what you need. I tried it and it was too overloaded for me. To keep track of my tasks, I just need a simple to-do app.
100% Agree. Ironically one of Notion's biggest strength's (the template concept) that seems to have a made a fair number of people a lot of money is I think a source of great confusion. To really get the best out of Notion I think you have to create your own system and structure from scratch, adding in just enough to get you started and then building it up as you go. That's why although I'll be giving away links to some author templates in the future they'll all be simple enough (and with enough description) that people can recreate them themselves and truly understand what's going on behind the scenes (pun intended 😉)

I love the way it grows and morphs as my writing and editing process is growing and morphing.
