The killer feature that made me switch from OneNote is that when you add dates you can set it to remind you before they pass. Some ways I've used this:
- Implementing GTD, when I move a task to "waiting" I add a date when I want to be reminded to check on it.
- I create a new table quarterly with a row for each week with columns for goals (e.g. practice Spanish or get out running 3x), then embed date reminders for each one so I don't forget to keep it updated.
- I keep a table of annual subscriptions I pay for, with the date the payment occurs, and a reminder a few weeks earlier. This way I can decide whether I want to renew (this alone has paid for the cost of Notion).
