#Export notion database to csv windows

From that list note I then took each line and turned it into their own notes using the plugin 'Note Refactor', and made the hotkey Alt-Z for quick and easy repeated use. I took out all of the ideas listed out, as they were simply one liners that could be turned into a list note. So I took out the courses or books, which count as content, but don't need to be in there. Something I talk about in the next section is the idea of breaking it up, which I did in part in that one too. Containing blogs, podcasts, polyincontent episodes, videos, and more. A helpful post:Īt the moment of starting to write this post I have yet to move my biggest one of all, that being my content ecosystem pipeline. There is a tool called AutoRenamer, but again I couldn't get it to work the way I wanted. For one you can use plugins if you want to do Zettlekasten, that are better, and for two it will clean up your space more. In that process, over time, rename the files and folders to forego the UID system. Take note of what is still in Notion (don't delete your Notion either keep it as a backup too btw), and then move over manually whatever doesn't automatically translate. What I'd recommend, which is what I did, is to delete any files that didn't export properly. You have to go through each file and change the name.

Not only does it interfere with certain windows operations (as the file names become too long for certain tasks), but it looks clunky. When you export Notion however it leaves the UID numbers on the filenames, which is a real pain. This only really works on simple pages or tiny databases however. What I did that helped to move a large portion of my various docs is just export then import. Although for the most part had to do it manually. Some of them just needed to be ported over, which is simple enough to do. This includes some tiny databases, my workout routine, expense tracking, among various single pages and such. In any case this system is built to scale with you and your tool of choice. Based on where your mind is at in that moment you chose one of those three blocks. A deep work for productivity, play time, and then another block for habits. you block it out into chunks based on how you feel. Conversely, perhaps you are more neurodivergent and need a freeform system. Perhaps for example you want every hour planned, and so you need a robust timeblocking system to manage it. Now the inner templates, such as for timeblocking I actually try to leave vague because every tool is different, and each person is different.

An operating system that can take you from level 1 to level 100, and keep track of it along the way.įrom the Supra/Yearly down to the Pico/Hourly, you can keep track of it all. This system is meant to be the life blood of your productivity. Otherwise known as the PIOS, this is my organizational system I created for myself (and the world). I'm sharing this link twice just in case ! yet, perhaps this is the most capable of everything here. Perhaps someone can make a more efficient solution too. Here are the links, so at least you can try or look. While I couldn't get the python scripts to work (no matter how hard I tried), perhaps you are better at that sort of thing than me. In the end I realized oh yeah that Obsidian tool is like Logseq or Roam, maybe I can try that.

However after using it I thought it felt clunky and overwhelming (how many of these apps go at first (Notion felt stifling and Obsidian felt bland to me my first time trying them). I found that it seemed really interesting to me at the time, and it was partially because of the idea of using it with GPT-3.5 on my local machine. Logseq happened to come across my eyes only recently thanks to. Roam is locked for the most part to researchers, and is a tad expensive. Why I chose Obsidian over Roam or Logseq? With Obsidian however I can link things together, find new combinations, and use AI to communicate with my own data. All that data basically just sitting there with little interaction. I have 100's of links for polymathy and generalists, let alone my 1000 pieces of content as well. Notion had gone down a handful of times in my years of use, and it got in the way of my work.įinally, there isn't really an easy way to link pages together. Constantly online, with the 'offline' app not really working the way you'd think. While Notion may be a fantastic tool, and I fell in love with it when I first started really using it. From the various folders on my computer, to the extensive life operating system I put together in Notion.so, and even going through some high quality blogs to import their posts for later viewing. I mean I have been spending the last few days in particular (let alone the past week) moving everything from various sources. Perhaps you're here because you are making the jump as well, or maybe you just want to see what sort of advice I have (in case you are moving from another tool).
