The cheat code for savvy teams looking to build scalable and fault-tolerant Notion workspaces from the start.
Over the five years of running Notion Mastery and consulting with teams as Notion-Certified Consultants, we’ve seen it all when it comes to complicated workspaces and complex workflows. By the time organizations come to our team to help fix their Notion-based systems and align their teams on “how to Notion”, their workspaces are a jumbled mess of databases and systems, inadequately designed permissions, and misalignment on internal goals.
While a lot of this discordance is expected when adopting new software, much of it comes down to one of two factors:
“You can do anything with Notion”, they say! And so maybe you tried to do everything.
Maybe you grabbed an all-in-one template that does a lot for you, but you don’t know how to customize it. You don’t know how permissions work in practice and so now you’ve got a workspace with a bunch of members who’re breaking things.
Maybe some team members really like Notion and so each of them builds their own independent systems that work for their team only (or maybe even just them!).
You are paralyzed by choice and by the myriad ways to set up this complicated software!
Sounding familiar yet?
Maybe *you—*as the architect, as the person responsible for Notion—maybe you know what you’re doing (hey, but maybe not?), but when it comes to getting folks to use your systems, they…
We get it. We’ve seen it (and much more, and much worse). The educational gap with Notion can be large and varied. And without the deeper fundamentals of workspace configuration, you’re at the mercy of 10s if not 100s of employees’ ways of working.
But what if there was a straightforward way to set up Notion with best practices in mind that alleviated many of these concerns?
