Trying Notion

Well, I was scrolling through TikTok to find posts about farming, and then I stumbled upon a post from a user who shares his way to track his farm, fertilizing, and spraying activities and schedule, and even for the expense and profit tracker, all on one app.

When I checked on his bio, I learned that he sells his template from the Notion app, for those who also want to have the same tracking assistance. And my stingy nature take the best out of me. I mean, why would I spend the money for the template that I still need to tweak for my own needs? I also underestimate the skill needed to use the app. How hard can it be for an app to be used?

But my oh my, it is harder than I actually think. Completely new, and for sure a lot different from the app that I had used. Especially those from Microsoft or from Google.

In the end, it forced me to watch a YouTube tutorial on how to use the app, and hopefully I managed to make my own farming tools that will help me to track all the things that I need for my farm.

Does anyone have any experience in using this app called Notion?


I am a Balinese man, a father of a toddler son, a former worker in the hospitality industry, who has recently found a passion for macro photography and started a journey in farming. I want to share the photos that I've taken here on Hive. I appreciate any comments or feedback you leave on my posts, and kindly invite you to be part of my journey in this vast Hive Ocean. Thank you very much

I used notion when they first launched but I find Excel is a lot easier 😃 Notion works if you love the visuals and aesthetic. But if you just love data, excel/spreadsheet works.

That is what I thought as well Cem. Maybe all i need is to know the needed formula tips for a neat looking Spreadsheet. I mean, at least I have some basic excel, so it will be easier.

I do not. When I want to track a lot of data I use Obsidian.

I have never heard of that app. But notion already giving me a little headache.

Qué buen reto te has propuesto! Mezclar agricultura con herramientas digitales es el futuro. Si logras crear tu propio sistema en Notion, tendrás algo personalizado que ningún template comprado te daría. ¡Mucho ánimo con el aprendizaje

What a great challenge you've set for yourself! Mixing agriculture with digital tools is the future. If you manage to create your own system in Notion, you'll have something custom that no purchased template could give you. Good luck with the learning

Well, it is not as easy as I thought,
