I love that you're a Notion power user. As an app junkie (and sometimes app developer) myself, I appreciate the deep dive to really learn and get use out of a app. When it comes to notes, I feel like I'm constantly switching apps. I'm currently really loving Craft (https://www.craft.do/) but I wouldn't be surprised in the least if this time next year I'm using something else. Ugh, why am I like this? 😩
Anyway, to your point, yeah we have enough crap going on with SMA without beating ourselves up about some perceived standard of productivity that we are not meeting. It's easy to know that intellectually, but difficult to follow it in practice. I feel that (although I'm a little easier on myself now then I used to be, I think).
I've tried everything from Evernote to Google Keep to Trello. It took me a couple of years to really settle into Notion, but now I can't imagine life without it! It can be really transformative if you look at it from a "life design" perspective.
Definitely agree that it's hard to internalize! It helps that more and more people are talking about the dark side of productivity and the importance of rest. I don't feel so alone anymore.
