NOTION FOR LAWYERS?
I’m a 3rd year corporate transactional associate with a private practice firm. Does anyone regularly use Notion to manage client matters, projects, notes, etc.? If so, have you enjoyed the experience and do you have any tips/templates to share?

I used to - but it ended up being a bit over complicated for me for client and task management, and I ended up falling back to OneNote and Airtable. I’m also a 3rd year, and keeping my Notion updated in addition to the firms internal checklist and docs just ended up being too much process.

I do however still use it as a knowledge base for all the trainings I’ve done and resources I’ve gathered over the past 3 years, which is super helpful.

I do a variation of these things daily (1) take research/call notes (2) add to my checklist or to-do list and (3) create new client and project folders. Is this similar to the types of thing you do on a regular basis? If so, are the apps you use good for all of these?

I have thought about it but now currently use a mix of Outlook, paper planning and an Etsy automated task tracker
