Notion's just a tool, like a pen and a pad. If you decide to use it for nothing but busy work, that's an option I suppose. But I get a lot of real work done using Notion.


The act of using Notion is in of itself busy work which distracts from productivity.

Not that you are using it for busy work.

It's a strategy used by productivity "gurus" for 100+ years to keep the $$ trickling in.

Just a few years ago it was todist...before that it was Omni.

Once notion peaks we will all move on to the next one.


According to this description I believe you could also say writing tests or using git is just busy work. Nevertheless, a lot of people use tools like git and notepad (or notion) to organize their work.


That doesn't make any sense. Notion is literally just a powerful text editor. If the act of using Notion is busywork, then so is the act of using a typewriter, a pen, a whiteboard, any other text editor, etc.
