You’re also able to use drag and drop or Force Touch to rearrange your content, which came in handy when I wanted to switch certain tasks around to different days. After tapping through and making yourself aware of all that there is to offer, you’ll eventually start to memorize the steps and will have a clear idea of what you want to add as soon as you open the app. Navigating the app can be a bit frustrating at first, since there are so many things you can customize and tap through, but I was able to get the hang of it after a while. For instance, under Weekly Agenda there’s a bright yellow notepad and the Work Agenda document has an adorable blue backpack. When you create specific documents, they’re all saved in a sidebar separated by emoji-like icons. The interface is also a refreshing change from some note-taking apps on the market that can look a bit bland and washed out. By the end of the week, I started to realize why it was so important to have these options - it makes those dreaded long lists a bit more enjoyable and soothing to look at when every minor detail is aesthetically pleasing. It was also fun to be able to customize it with different cover photos, or choose what kind of list (bulleted, toggle list, sub header, etc.) I wanted under each day. Under my “Weekly Agenda,” I listed all of the errands I wanted to get done before the end of the week, and under “Work To-do’s,” I wrote down the assignments I had on my plate. I specifically used Notion to keep track of all my to-do lists, both work and personal. They’re all separated into different categories: Notes & Docs, Knowledge Base (mainly for office teams), Tasks & Projects, and Database & Spreadsheets. Since I’m not the type to pay too much to detail when it comes to my notes, I chose to keep track of everything through templates. To start, you can either choose to fill in your own empty page or pick from one of the many templates Notion has to offer. As I explored all the layouts, color options, calendars, and spreadsheets, I couldn’t help but think back to those people in high school who would color code their planners with all the colors of the rainbow. While it does take you through a tutorial, it still took a bit of time to adjust to the all the different features. When I first downloaded it on Android, it felt intimidating. As with other note-taking apps like Evernote, Bear, and Onenote, I wouldn’t recommend Notion for casual notetakers.
