- Notion's Greatest Flaw
When I very fist started using Notion back in 2016, two things stood out to me:
I love markdown, I’ll never click another thing in my life
Oh cool, I can nest folders
It was so easy to just start writing! I viewed Notion entirely as a note taking tool, and quickly ditched Evernote.
I didn’t put in my to do list, calendar, invite coworkers, nothing! The writing experience was top notch, so when i wanted to take a new note, I clicked + New and started typing.

Back in 2016, Notion didn’t have any of the fancy databases or tools it has now, it was just a glorified text editor. Kanban boards were literally just 3 columns with headers
Every time you opened Notion, you were met with a blank page to fill to your hearts content. I never thought about where something should go, I just started typing!
Now that I have a database for notes, tasks, recipes, projects, habits, inbox, clients, client notes, client tasks, passwords, partners, docs, out of office, and workouts (just to name a few), I feel like I’ve broken what I loved most about Notion.
Notion’s greatest flaw is it’s flexibility
