![]() If you want to take advantage of the Notion app’s best features, you’ll need to develop your own templates and pages that suit your specific needs. It was easy enough to sort and search, but lacked any refinement. I added a page for each note and nested them into monthly sub-pages. My first attempt at using Notion was a very linear notebook. ![]() Notion is suited more to creating tasks, wikis, and databases then helping you make sense of everything. Aesthetically, Notion will not pop like some other apps for taking notes, but that’s entirely because it’s so customizable.Īgain, if all you want is a nested digital notebook, Craft comes with a variety of nice features and customizations that require only the minimum setup time. Since Notion doesn’t have folders, everything lives as a page and can be nested within other pages. ![]() Because Notion is a pretty ‘raw’ tool, the look isn’t exactly exciting.Īt the highest level, Notion Workspaces define what kind of content you’ll store. For anyone who wants the most simple experience, you can use Notion in the same way as Craft: sorting pages into folders. The more information you have to manage, the more useful Notion gets.įortunately, if you’re a writer and you want a powerful system to organize your notes and plotting documents, Notion is amazing.

That can be pretty tedious as you need to make a folder or page for templates and duplicate then move them to the appropriate location. Most of us want (or need) to create pages for each character and location along with notes about plot, pacing, relationships, and more. If you use the Craft writing app to plan out a book, you may find it a little challenging to track down pages if they’re nested within another page.
