✨ The Notion Blueprint: Coming Soon ✨

For the past year, I have been fine tuning my presentation/process/course building skills, to the point where I feel confident leading a group of you to Notion victory!

I call my methodology for building Notion workspaces 'The Notion Blueprint' - I've been trialling it on my 1:1 clients and can confirm it works - really well.

Expect some more details in the next coming weeks. Current plan is a series of interactive workshops practicing core Notion 'thinking skills' and functionality, before guiding the group into architecting your workspaces. Stay tuned!

✨ Teach $wag✨

Notion is becoming a force in the education scene. I think back to when I was a student a few years ago, when I legitimately ran my entire course-load on Google Docs. If you step into any university/learning environment, you’re slowly finding that Notion is becoming the tool of choice.

If you can’t beat them, join them, right? As an educator, you can get ahead of the curve and start to incorporate Notion into your classroom resources - better yet, it’s free for you!

✨Notion… Lotion?✨

I’m not sure why hand cream isn’t standard tech swag, because this idea is genius! What do you use to get your job done (typically)? Your hands. So what do you need to take care of? Your hands.

I personally always have lotion at my desk (can’t catch me ashy xo) but had never considered a branded approach. I know this was just a joke, but if Notion releases a lotion (thinking a little shea butter-infused blend), *I’ll take 12*.

What other Notion merch would you use?
