📬 Issue #57: Why people quit their jobs on the first day

Have you ever had one of those 'nope' moments in work? We found a thread this week where people share the thing that made them quit a job on the very first day. There's also a genius life hack for supermarket trolleys and a video that should (hopefully) encourage you to go easy on yourself.

The 5 Best Notion Templates for Students

Notion has a steep learning curve. When I was a student, discovering Notion in the middle of a semester, I was hard-pressed to immediately implement it into my life. I saw the potential that Notion had to transform how I managed my work and organized my life but just did not have the time to build the systems I saw.

Notioneer of the Week: Frances Odera Matthews

Hi! I'm your average gen-z/millenial, based in the UK, and founder of thenotionbar.com. I love digging into popular culture, innovation & information management - but I am not a 'productivity guru'. Like most 'Notioneers' I do a little consulting and also make templates, however, I come at it from a more socially conscious angle.
