Roughly speaking
- Notion is finally on the platform.
- Create your own Notion with NotionEverything, which allows you to search for templates, and Notion Icons.
- A Japanese instruction manual is now available on Kindle Unlimited. First, let's learn how to use it.
Notion has become popular in Japan
Notion has finally become a life hack tool in Japan.
It's nostalgic for the time when both Asana and Notion were featured in Lifehackers, but it feels like they're becoming quite popular in Japan. I often get asked to teach you Notion, so I've given online lectures.
Notion's growth is similar to slack. This is because managers are focused on development, and they have thoroughly improved their products and worked closely with API integration with all kinds of services.
When I participated, there was a campaign where people could run a free 3-month campaign when they migrated from Evernote, and when I tried to run import, the API was executed with an incredible system, and I remember that I was able to move smoothly.
When Slack was released, slack linkages on Twitter were popular, and I remember connecting services to my liking. For engineers, it is a dream to boost convenience through development and achieve M&A and listing.
Notion has also grown steadily, and the surrounding ecosystem has been fully integrated. This time, I'll introduce you to a template search tool, an icon collection, and a Japanese explanation book (Kindle).
Template Search
First, we'll introduce you to Notion Everything, a site where you can search for a wide variety of templates.
You can literally find a variety of templates and find ones that are easy to use for you.
Some are official Notion, and you can also search for paid/free templates sold by the general public. You can also sell your own templates by publishing them.
What personally was interesting was the template My Study Hub, which was a member of a university student who spent his Notion. I enjoy creating my own original notebook, and when I actually download it, it's well done. I hope students give it a try.
Icon collection for Notion
When using Notion as your own notebook, sometimes you want to create a uniform icon when distinguishing each page. Notion Icons is the perfect place to do this.
It supports light mode and dark mode, allowing you to unify icons in a common atmosphere. You can apply it by pressing COPY and pasting the icon from "Add Icon" on the page.
Japanese explanation
North Sand Co., Ltd., the official Notion ambassador in Japan, offers a Kindle that explains everything in detail on Amazon.
You can read it for free on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited, so if you've joined the service, I highly recommend reading it. It carefully captures the hurdles of Notion, which many people are disappointed with, and provides best practices.
Personally, I sympathize with the author's trial and error points about how to create a page hierarchy, and I couldn't help but tweet.

I hope you will get into Notion and try to accelerate your life.
