These days, I no longer try to find “The Best App No Matter What”. (This is also how I was able to discover that Trello and Monday would NOT work for us.) Once I saw it in action through case studies and workflow videos of other users, that’s when I knew it would work for us.
The thing that helped the most with our decision to use Notion was when I could see how other people were using it. While trying to decide on which PM tool we’d would switch to, I spent a lot of time testing and tinkering with some of the other options (such as Asana, Jira, Monday, Trello, Todoist, et al.) And, of course, it took us some time to decide on Notion. Notion is on the complete other side of the spectrum compared to Basecamp.
We were Basecamp for years, and we switched to Notion. Last fall my company switched project management tools. Sometimes, if you insist on using “The Best”, it can actually hold you back and slow you down.
