Switching to Notion from Evernote has pretty much changed my life. I tried mind maps before but the scattered nature of how I dump ideas I think requires a little more of a structured framework for me to play in. With notion the key features that really help me is having nested pages, and being able to group select things and drag them into a nested page. From there I can keep nesting if I want. The general ease of being able to organize and group things, and also create overview pages that link to several other deep dive pages, allows me to move further with ideas than I ever did with evernote. With evernote, it felt more like a scattered dump, even if I grouped things into notebooks. There was no spacial distinction or grouping of concepts, just a bunch of small random thoughts thrown together in a loosely defined notebook. And once things got out of hand it felt pretty much impossible to wrangle it back together. Evernote for me was great if I knew there was a specific piece of information I had saved, that I needed to look up through search. But it never felt like I could map out and grow and abstract idea as I slowly created it overtime. It's hard to really explain over text the workflows I can create with notion to organize my thoughts, I'd definitely recommend watching youtube videos of different workspace layouts ppl have come up with like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_mh91IRLL8

The general point being that this tool has helped me in my goal of shifting from simply aggregating lots of thoughts and ideas, towards having the structure to make that next step and actually do something with them.
