Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to capture information quickly in Notion using the web clipper with a page or database for storage. You learned how to organize the information stored in databases using properties, filters, sorts, and the master database concept to create a master tag database. Additionally, you learned some methods to make the process of sharing information easier for others who enter the workspace. This will help with clearing your mind of thoughts, as they can be easily captured in Notion for later use. Also, you can ensure that when you are looking for an old idea or note, you know where to find the information.

In the next chapter, we will look at how you can combine these note-taking tips with concepts such as contextual dashboards and master databases to create use case templates and entire workspace systems.
