Notion combines notes, databases, calendars, and project boards into one app. The flexibility is both its greatest strength and the reason my workspace is a mess. Its block-based editor lets you drag and drop anything anywhere, so a single page can hold a paragraph of text, a kanban board, a linked database, and an embedded video. I use it for class notes, project tracking, and keeping a running list of restaurants I want to try, all in the same workspace. Templates that other users share online are often more interesting than anything I'd build from scratch.
