The truth is, if something looks nice, it makes us want to use it more. Don’t argue with me, argue with the Aesthetic-Usability Effect UX principle. That’s how companies like Apple, Monzo etc have made their millions — they’ve taken the mundane and turned it into an experience through the magic of aesthetics and a little design-thinking.

What is Notion & why is everyone obsessed with it?

Notion is essentially digital LEGO, where you have access to the ‘blocks’ (checkboxes, databases, media embeds etc) to build your dream digital tool/dashboard. Because of this ‘DIY’ aspect, everyone, from parents and students to creatives and start-ups are obsessed with using it to build custom dashboards that grow with them and work for the way they think.
