Getting it Done: Using Notion to get productive at work.

Published by Layla

A rainy hello from me to you! We’re having another typhoon over here so it’s raining steadily for the past three days now. I hope that wherever you are, you are well and safe.  I know that it’s been a year on since the outbreak of the pandemic, and some are still working from home. Add the stress of attending (graduate) school online, and we have chaos. And we are in chaos.

Sure, I pay for a subscription, but it’s a perk of said subscription, so it’s all good.
