It’s simple. It’s easy. But is it safe? — As soon as I started using Notion, it quickly became one of my absolute favorite productivity apps of all time. It’s simple and yet powerful. I fell in love with the fact that Notion’s powerful toolset makes life easy for everyone from the casual note taker to the hardcore, life-planning…

Or, lessons in the importance of owning your own platform. — While — according to YouTube — it doesn’t happen often, Google reserves the right to demonetize or even delete a channel even if the videos therein don’t violate YouTube’s community guidelines.
