1:38
different options as you can see right here. You can even choose and select the applications that
1:43
have already been embedded with Notion such as Google Drive, Twitter, GitHub, Maps, Figma and many
1:51
many more. As you can see you have different types of text as you can see columns headings
1:57
tables of content as well. So you can just simply go ahead and select text and over here I'll just
2:02
write create a video on Notion and this is the task and if I just simply highlight it I can go
2:09
ahead and select all these different options that I have such as the text option right here. I can
2:14
go ahead and change it to whatever I want as you can see right here. I can even add a link to it
2:20
if I want to. You can comment it you can make it bold or italicize it underline it you can strike
2:26
through as well you can mark as a code create an equation as well and you can text the color
2:32
by using these different options that you can see right here. So yellow background with a black text
2:38
or default or you can select the different background colors right here. So if I click on red
2:43
text as you can see and I can choose the background however I want to. As you can see this is how it
2:49
looks like it looks really cool and it looks really really nice and you can even mention other
2:53
persons if you have added them over here. Now this was a general overview right over of Notion and
3:01
now on the left hand side you have all the other options as well. So as you can see you have quick
3:06
notes personal home task list journals reading list you can add different pages over here and
3:12
you can even select different templates and import different templates as well and you can create a
3:16
team space for teams if you have selected that option in the beginning when you were creating an
3:22
account. Now this was a general overview of Notion so now let's get into it and see how you can use
3:29
Notion to get more productive. So as you can see over here on the left hand side you have a bunch
3:34
of different options. So this is getting started of course you can delete this once you've you know
3:39
done with it you've seen it how it looks and all of that you can go ahead and delete it but the main
3:43
focus is going to be on the other pages as you can see you can create different pages by clicking
3:47
on the add a page button. Now we already have some quick notes over here some personal home we have
3:53
task list over here journal reading list and all of that so you can go ahead and use this template
3:59
that is already made or you can just simply click on the template option and select what you want
4:04
So over here you can see you have projects and tasks this is a template that you can use as well
4:09
so over here and over here this is how it's going to look like you're going to have your tasks
4:13
over here project names their dates and their project and the people that are working over here
4:19
project tasks and sprints so sprints are going to be basically quick tests that you have to do it
4:25
immediately there's meetings as well there's wiki docs there's also about life so they're all the
4:30
templates are characterized into different categories like student life product management design engineering marketing human resources sales support all of that so you can go ahead and use
4:43
that or you can just simply you know create one yourself for me I really think that since you're
4:50
getting started with it the to-do list is actually really important and project and tasks are going
4:56
to be really important and if you have some meetings and documentations that you can go ahead
5:00
and use that as well but it depends on you but you can also use the pre-made ones as well like
5:06
for example in personal home right you want to add different goals like yearly goals travel plans or
5:13
movie lists right you can go ahead and just simply click on one of this list and you can go ahead and
5:19
add a movie so this is a movie that's already been added I haven't actually watched this so
5:25
we'll just simply go ahead and delete them and over here you can just simply add a movie and you
5:30
can put a link as well and you can create a bookmark if that is what you want but I already
5:36
have a bunch of lists that I can use so you could go ahead and select a list as well so over here
5:44
you can just simply add movie links and you should be good to go but I think we should move on next
5:49
we have also have yearly goals as well so you know you can go ahead and add yearly goals so this could
5:55
be like earning a hundred thousand dollars over here I'm not quite there yes I think I might have
6:00
crossed the 50 percent mark or maybe even 60 but I'm not really sure but you can create that these
6:07
types of goals as well it depends on you so this is going to be like your motivation right next is
6:12
very important right we can let me actually add a page right here so over here this is going to be
6:18
