Hello! I'm Rei, an official Notion Ambassador.
Do you know about "Notion"?
Many of you might be thinking, "I've been seeing it a lot recently and was curious about it" or "I know the name, but I'm not sure what kind of service it is."
Notion has so many features that it can often seem difficult to use. However, today I'd like to explain how to use Notion and what makes it so appealing, with an updated look for 2022.

What is Notion?
If I had to describe Notion in one word, it would be "the ultimate all-in-one note-taking app." Specifically, you can consolidate many tools into one Notion application, such as the following:
What you can do with Notion
・Notes
・Task management
・Schedule management
・Wiki
・Spreadsheets
・Chat, etc.
What tools do you currently use? With Notion, you can bring all of these together into one place. This is one of Notion's major features.
Why Notion is chosen.
Notion's explosive popularity peaked around 2020-2021, but why is Notion so popular?
I've been using it for about 4 years myself, and I believe there are five main reasons why I use Notion:
1. Easy-to-use, simple design
2. Usable on any device, including Windows, Mac, and iPhone
3. Lower price compared to other services
4. Many features are consolidated, reducing the number of apps needed
5. Databases and data embedding are available (Notion rabbit hole)
Wait. Isn't it amazing just with points 1-3?
Easy to use, works on all devices, and affordable. That's right. Compared to other apps, very few meet these three conditions.
And yet, its high functionality, rich use cases, and the ultimate "rabbit hole" of databases are why more and more users are saying, "I love Notion!!!"
From here, I'll introduce some ways to use Notion.
How Notion is used.
Notion can be used in many ways, but because it can do so much, it's often difficult to know how to start.
First, I'll introduce how it's used in the workplace, as featured on the official website.
📍Meeting Minutes
📍Task Management
📍Wiki
Recently, I was able to introduce Notion into my main job, and I think these three uses are exactly what we're doing.
Next, I'll introduce some personal Notion use cases from my private pages.
📍Diary
📍Household Budget
📍Restaurant List
How about that? Just looking at the examples makes me excited...
What I've written here are quite common uses, and there are many, many more ways to use it. It's really fun to look at other people's Notion examples and discover, "Oh, it can be used like that too!"
Welcome to the Notion Rabbit Hole.
Notion has a simple appearance, but it is actually a highly customizable application. You can change colors, add multiple rows, and more.
The "embedding" feature is particularly convenient, allowing you to display calendars, whiteboards, and spreadsheets from other services simultaneously.
There's so much you can do, and it's easy to lose track of time when you get engrossed, so I've started calling this phenomenon the "Notion Rabbit Hole." Lol.
Here are some tweets from people who've fallen into the Notion Rabbit Hole:
