    Exactly, you can use the tool anyway you like & apply learning methods to any tool. "Study" is about methods; Notion is a tool. So the answer is to reject the question notion for studying. These YT'ers confuse their viewers/customers more than help them.

It supports now him with audio-text capture and GPT summaries, and reciew/reinforcement workflow, Ask. AI front ends it, and he created his own Flash-cards generator in Notion. Also of great value to him, since he is busy with simultaneous work and other things- it saves him almost 10 hours a week on studies. I went to and graduated from a few top-5 Universities and have been a researcher for decades, and all I can say is that it is obvious why you didn’t provide any “better” alternative- it is easy to critique anything, but you obviously have no “better” recommendation to offer,

It has almost all the tools that a note taking app needs to have and it gets the job done. Thats it! Also state your reasons clearly and use simple words. You're using difficult words to prove your point.

    @@stefi_2774 I don't know, it definitely takes less effort than Notion. I think OneNote has a great organization system itself (the notebooks, sections and pages). It's very easy to use. If you want to use it for studying I suggest to create a notebook "year 23/24" for example. Then you add your courses as sections. Let's say "chemistry", "physics" and "literature". I then made pages for each topic. For "physics" it might me "atomic models", "quantum physics" and "radioactivity". For every lesson or headline I then added subpages, e.g. "protons and neutrons", "Rutherfords" experiment" and "quarks" for atomic models. If you want to use one notebook forseveral school years you easily can change the name to something like "highschool" and group the sections of each year together. A great thing I learned was that notes itself don't have to be beautiful, instead they should be practical. I knew many people who put hours into stlying their notes but in the end didn't know the contents of it. But still, some memorized it making their notes insta-worthy. I hope I could help you a little bit. I might have to add that I use a Microsoft Surface (Tablet and Notebook as 1 device). The pen is great for taking hand written notes. It has so many functions!

    When saying stuff like that it‘s important to say why you got to this conclusions. Notion on its own is all or nothing, you make it work. It also depends on what you need as a person. I need Notion to process my mental processes and you maybe don‘t such external support systems. I just think it’s important to put emphasis, that it’s personal and it can be overrated for you, but an absolute necessity for someone else. It can give you illusion of doing being busy/working, but it‘s has mental health benefits and it‘s not a waste of time.

While this method may work for some, it proved to be a time-consuming ordeal for me, especially when dealing with subjects like mathematics, chemistry, physics, and computer science. Notion seemed ill-suited for equation-heavy courses, although it may be more suitable for content-based ones. In my quest for a more effective solution, I contemplated returning to Word, primarily for easy printing and user-friendly layout capabilities. After making the switch, I couldn't be happier with the decision.

    the thing with notion is once you are set , everything is easy for you.Later on , you won't even rely on it , because you program your brain by using notion for your daily to-dos.

    a guy i watch ‘fromsergio’ said it perfectly. i work in notion & i think in obsidian. i can’t agree more with that. i recently switched my two business plus my personal stuff from clickup & todoist to notion, and it works incredibly well. however i do not have any journals or notes other than to jot down a sentence or two. i’d rather use obsidian to take extensive notes/journals

    In my personal opinion: OneNote and Anki. Of course, both have to be used properly, but both are really great. OneNote is great for notetaking if you can do that effectively during the semester. The program is very flexible and you can even import an entire pdf to edit into it (its a little wonky since it imports as an image, but I was still able to highlight a digital textbook). Anki is great for memorizing flashcards better. The reason I'd go with Anki over something like Quizlet is because Quizlet doesn't really take into account how easily you answered the flashcards, whereas Anki takes that into account (though, I'm new to both Anki and Quizlet). Also, I've heard that Anki allows you to put media on the flashcards for free, which is insane. Anyhow, OneNote and Anki seem to do wonders when used right :)! Definitely experiment and see what works for you.

    ALSO: in the midst of this short, I've actually downloaded my OneNote notes as a pdf (or at least one section of them). I was going to upload them to Notion but the file size was too large for the free plan (there is a 5 MB limit for the free plan). So, Instead, what I did was share the notebook with an alternative email I have, and then I opened the notebook from that email that I sent to myself. I took the link, and placed it into Notion. Yes, It's quite over the top, don't know if I will stick to it, but the idea is that since the separate sections of OneNote have different links for the webpage version, I can have a table in Notion that says 'Chapter 1 Notes' and then the link leads to the Chapter 1 section. It is overkill, but the organization of it is something I really like the idea of. Again, no clue if it will benefit me so I will only find out with time lol. Here's to great semesters, trimesters, and years!

    I’m not agree, Notion is incredible for studying in the way you can create links between different courses with relations and roll-ups for example. Moreover, you can categorize, store information in an intelligent way with databases and link with different platforms to visualize your data’s differently. It’s very intuitive and seems to work well with the human brain with the way it works. I would say, it’s better than Word, PowerPoint or Excel.
