Andy Walker / Android Authority
I’m all about productivity, trying to get as much done in the least amount of time. As an Editor here at Android Authority and someone who is involved in all sorts of projects outside of work, I have a lot of tasks to handle on a daily basis, and I need help getting organized.
While I use all sorts of apps and services, two of them stand out. I use both Notion and Todoist regularly to stay on top of my professional and personal life, and honestly, I don’t think I could live without them.
I want to share exactly how I use each one, whether there’s a chance to ditch one for the other, and which other apps also help keep me from going crazy.

How I use Notion

Out of the two, I use Notion the most. It’s my main work app, and it comes in handy in more areas than I can count. This very post you’re reading was written in Notion first before being published on our website. I used to use Google Docs for this but switched to Notion since I can more easily organize all of my writing.
Notion is also where I keep all the ideas for topics I want to tackle. I set up a table, making it easy to add and see all my ideas on one page, along with details that matter to me — date added, difficulty level, and more. I also use it to keep track of all the meetings I have with the team here at Android Authority. I downloaded a template for this, which I modified to fit my wants and needs. I use it to prepare talking points, write down all the important parts of each meeting, and a lot more.
I also use Notion to keep track of all the work projects I’m handling — like new product launches we cover — making sure I never forget to handle anything important, make work-related notes, and so on. It’s hard for me to imagine doing my job without it, since it’s the first app I open when I start my shift. I like how the vast majority of things I need to keep track of is right in front of me, in one app.
