I saved the best for last. Notion is a favorite of mine, both on a personal level and a professional one.
If you have a smaller team or need something less linear than ClickUp, I highly recommend Notion. While it offers some of the same features, like the ability to play nicely with Google Docs and embedded media, you aren’t stuck with the rigid list structure of a project management tool like ClickUp.
Notion is best described as like building with Lego. It’s a blank slate, and you can create exactly what you need to suit your business and work style using their various “blocks.” It can be a little intimidating to get started with, but it’s always worth it.
I use Notion both personally and professionally. It’s as well suited to managing the minute details of nomad life (grocery shopping, reservations, and remembering regular tasks around the rig) as it is to planning complicated project plans for my business.
Notion is particularly well suited to people who identify as neuro-diverse as it’s less rigid than most available apps. It combines structured databases and templates with the ability to build, change, and grow as our plans do.
Notion works particularly well for building a company wiki and housing references for company systems and processes. I also find that it’s fantastic for sharing only specific things with clients and outside contractors.
Who should use this tool? Notion can work for teams small and large that want a more flexible platform to build to fit their needs. I do not recommend Notion for larger teams who rely heavily on automations or built-in time tracking.
