Starting with Notion can feel overwhelming, but these essential tips will help you get up to speed quickly and make the most of the platform:

1. Start Simple: Begin with basic pages and blocks before diving into complex databases. Focus on organizing your thoughts and tasks first.
2. Use Templates: Take advantage of Notion’s pre-made templates to learn the structure and gain inspiration for building your own systems.
3. Master Slash Commands: Familiarize yourself with slash commands (e.g., “/”) to quickly add different types of blocks and speed up your workflow.
4. Utilize Linked Databases: Learn how to display the same database in multiple places using Linked Databases, making it easier to maintain consistency.
5. Take Advantage of Notion Web Clipper: Save articles and links directly to your workspace for easy access and future reference.
