<aside> <img src="/icons/report_blue.svg" alt="/icons/report_blue.svg" width="40px" /> To be clear, there isn't a right way to use Notion. I like to use it this way, because it makes sense to me, but please feel free to pull and choose from what you want to do.

Sidebar (Favorites)

• I reserve the sidebar for the high level content
• Each of the pages serve as a pillar, for how I work and learn on a daily basis

Day To Day

• This is the page I use every day. It looks at the different tasks I have assigned for myself as well as upcoming demos and RFPs that are due

Deals

• All deals I’ve worked on. As their status changes, I make the change in their properties. This helps me have the most active deals top of mind

My Demos

• I separated out the demos from the deals because it then gives me the opportunity to look at past demos and pull knowledge from them
• Even though this information is in a separate database, I link back to the deal that it’s for in the Deals Database so that all relevant information will stay tied together

Internal Meetings, Presentations, etc.

• Another component of working in tech sales are all the internal meetings or presentations that we are forced to attend
• Since the largest commonality grouping these are the fact that they are internal meetings, I created a separate database for it

Education

• I’m constantly learning in this role and need to store my notes somewhere. That’s where this database came into play

WD Databases

• I am anal about organization and don’t like when my master databases are scattered across Notion. Rather, I want the master view to exist in a single area and then have views of the information exist across the platform

Foreword

• I feel like this way of thinking isn’t necessary anymore as Notion continues to upgrades
