Why is Notion a great tool to boost productivity?
Notion is one of the relatively new rising stars of productivity focussed applications. The co-founder and CEO of the company, Ivan Zhao, describes Notion as “a customizable workspace that you can tailor to your brain and your needs”. The flexibility of the tool created excitement for many productivity-focused users from all around the world, making Notion one of the most popular tools in recent years.
Notion’s all-in-one productivity solution aims to bring many functional components together. You can use Notion for note-taking, documentation, creating relational databases, setting up a project management platform, and many other purposes.
Next level of visualization: Embedding Sketchboard to Notion workspace. As the notion community grows, the creativity of the use cases on Notion just exploded with many integrations, widgets, and templates. Here at Sketchboard, we decided to contribute to the Notion community with our two cents on how to boost up the collaboration experience with online whiteboards on Notion.
For at least more than a hundred years, it is very hard to imagine a learning or collaboration experience without some form of board or canvas. As technology and our needs evolved over the years, blackboards and chalkboards became whiteboards, and more recently, online whiteboards. The need for visualizing an idea in our minds has not changed. Although there are countless use cases for online whiteboards, some of the most common ones are creating mind maps, flowcharts, process maps, UML software diagrams, or product mockups.
Combining Sketchboard’s online whiteboard with a comprehensive productivity platform like Notion creates a big impact on the speed and efficiency of your team. Easily accessible diagrams and mind maps on Notion pages replace the frustration and burdensome conversations with efficient workflows. Using zoom-in and zoom-out functions helps you to focus on a particular part of an infinite canvas without losing perspective.
