In this video, we cover every single thing Notion is surprisingly bad at - including what they're NOT telling you about their Mail and Calendar features - and our recommendation for the software you should use instead. πŸŽ₯ *What We Covered:* 0:00 - Notion Failed You 1:48 - The One Good Feature 2:55 - Failure #1 4:38 - Failure #2 8:57 - Failure #3 10:29 - Failure #4 13:06 - Failure #5 ✍️ *Full Reviews* ↳ Notion: https://efficient.link/notion ↳ Motion: https://efficient.link/motion ↳ Sunsama: https://efficient.link/sunsama ↳ BILL Spend & Expense: https://efficient.link/bill ↳ folk: https://efficient.link/folk ↳ Superhuman: https://efficient.link/superhuman ↳ Software Reviews: https://efficient.app πŸŽ₯ *Video Equipment Used* (Affiliate) - Camera: https://efficient.link/a/blackmagic-12k - Lens: https://efficient.link/a/canon-24-70mm - Microphone: https://efficient.link/a/shure-sm7db - Audio Mixer: https://efficient.link/a/roadcaster-duo - Primary Light: https://efficient.link/a/smallrig-rc120b - Primary Soft Box: https://efficient.link/a/smallrig-softbox - Secondary Light (2x): https://efficient.link/a/neewer-660 - Secondary Soft Box: https://efficient.link/a/neewer-660-softbox πŸ‘€ Responding to comments about Notion Failed You: https://youtu.be/_HuY2zgHSUQ *After being customers of Motion we asked them if we could invest, check out the full story here: https://youtu.be/YamC4Rx9NFo _*Affiliate/Investment Disclosure: This video is not sponsored and reflects our personal opinions and experiences.
