Hey — it's Rames

Sun is back, and so are hikes. We discovered another wonderful part of the natural parc next to our home.

Also re-discovered the pleasure of taking an ice-cold dip in a river — what a boost it gives. Whenever your mood is down, remember that cold water makes it go up again.

And before we begin... This week's sponsor...

3 Tips

1/ Filter & Sort through comments

I’m gonna use Notion’s own line bcs I really liked it:

Remember, you can access comments on any page by clicking the "chat" icon to the right of the "Share" button at the top right of your Notion page.

2/ Cmd + A got an upgrade

After enabling us to move our tabs in the Notion app, Notion decided to address another bothersome feature. When you type cmd + A (or ctrl + A on Windows) to select all your text on a Notion page, it no longer selects the page title.

Tiny fix, happy customers.

3/ Build databases with Notion AI

Did you know you can quickly build a database filled with data using Notion AI? It’s super simple:

1. Summon Notion AI (space bar).

2. Prompt it to create a table and specify the columns and data that you need (e.g., create a table of the five biggest private space companies and add as columns their founder(s), country of origin, founding year, and market cap).

3. Notion will create a simple table with all this data.

4. Select the first row (the one with the column names) and enable “Header row”.

5. Select the entire table and click “Turn into database”.

This is super useful for quickly creating databases already filled with data. Don't forget to transform your properties into the corresponding format (all properties are created as text by default).

2 Resources

1/ How to hire people from a Notion page

Did you know that Notion could help you streamline your hiring process? Instead of paying for an expensive ATS, you can simply do it all in Notion.

In this blog, you'll learn how to:

1. Create a nice-looking "Careers" page in Notion and turn it into a website.

2. Automatically receive applications for your open jobs in your Notion database.

2/ You’re using Notion wrong

It's rare that I share podcasts in this newsletter, but Frances Odera Matthews is a Notion OG (she's the person behind the "thenotionbar" brand), and this interview for The Digital Project Manager was a real gem.

If you want more insights into using Notion for project management, give it a listen!
