Let’s start from Notion Growth. I’m so excited! Could you tell me a bit more about the product itself as I didn’t know anything about it?
To be honest, the tool started with my personal use of Notion. Working across many projects, I found that there were many tasks across several areas that can make use of powerful functionality in Notion.
Initially, I would use it to plan daily tasks, but this moved into more complex things like keeping a CRM, having a fully-fledged content calendar, and eventually building out databases and views in Notion for just about every aspect of the projects I was working…

How I chose the best Coworking space in Lisbon post-COVID
Premise:
This article is not an advertising post. I will refer to the criteria, choices, and decisions you can make if you have to choose coworkers and what to evaluate.
It’s the story and experience of how I made mistakes, discovered, and achieved goals through a simple (comfortable) chair and desk.
Don’t underestimate anything. Success comes from the human connections you manage to make and what you value the most.
