✨how I use Notion as a grad student ✨
Notion is a powerful productivity and note-taking app that, when utilised to its potential (and alongside good old-fashioned self-discipline) has the ability to really help you manage your workload as a student. Grad school often comes with projects upon projects and it can be overwhelming trying to manage them all. While many "college Notion" tutorials focus on aesthetics (no hate, I'm a sucker for a color scheme as much as the next person), I hope to show you a couple ways to prioritise tasks and projects as a grad student when using this wonderful app!
Hope y'all are well. Hugs from Dublin, as always ❤️❤️❤️
