Notion is a versatile tool that can be used as a word processor, database, Kanban board, and even a second brain, but it's not ideal for creating a to-do list. The author, who has tried to use Notion as their sole project management tool, acknowledges its limitations in this area. However, they have found ways to work around these limitations by creating a custom task manager dashboard with views, relations, and an "inbox" feature for quick-adding tasks. They also recommend using Zapier to automate the process of sending tasks from Notion to other to-do list apps like Todoist or Google Calendar. The author suggests that while Notion is not the best fit for everyone's needs as a task manager, it can be a great tool for those who are willing to put in the effort to customize it and make up for its drawbacks.
