Notion - notes, docs, tasks
How do I create a simple to-do list in Notion without it looking like a spreadsheet?
Start by creating a new page and typing '/' to open the command menu, then select 'To-do list' from the list of blocks. You can also use a template like 'Task List' from the template gallery to get a clean, pre-formatted layout without manual setup.
Why does the Notion mobile app freeze or crash when switching between pages?
This is a known issue on Android devices like the OnePlus 11, often caused by the app's heavy resource usage. Try clearing the app cache in your phone settings, restarting the app, and reducing the number of images on a single page to improve performance.
What should I do if Notion loses my text while I'm typing on mobile?
To prevent losing work, enable auto-save by ensuring you have a stable internet connection, and consider typing longer notes in a separate notes app first, then pasting them into Notion. If text is lost, check the page history (if you have a paid plan) or use the undo button immediately.
How does Notion compare to Google Keep for organizing personal notes and tasks?
Notion offers far more flexibility with databases, templates, and kanban boards, but it has a steep learning curve and a slower mobile app compared to Google Keep's simplicity and speed. If you need quick, lightweight note-taking on the go, Keep is better; for complex project tracking and organization, Notion wins once you learn it.
Is the free plan of Notion enough for everyday note-taking, or do I need to pay?
The free plan is good for basic notes and tasks, but it limits file uploads to 5 MB per file and only 7 days of version history. If you add many images or screenshots, you'll hit the upload cap quickly, so the $10/month Plus plan is worth it for unlimited storage and longer version history.
