    A very good introduction to what I think will become a favorite product. Lisa is well spoken and knowledgeable about this topic. Notion will help me eliminate lots of paper notes. I will use it first for genealogy and also for other things. \n\nAlways learn new tools from Lisa\n\nAnother new toy! Thanks, Lisa.\n\nBeen enjoy Geoff's webinar's for years. Keep up the good work. \n\nExcellent \n\nExcellent presentation and knowledge about the subject matter. Pace of presentation and slides were great. I'm going to try Notion!!\n\nExcellent presenter. I always learn from Lisa.\n\nExcellent! Can't wait to try it!\n\nExcellent!!! I'm definitely going to try out Notion. I'd never heard of it before. Thanks a bunch Lisa!\n\nFantastic. I simply can not wait to really dive into this program and possibly eliminate the need for multiple programs! I'll be keeping an eye out for the ability to join the Facebook group, as well!\n\nGeneral about the program, not as much for how to implement for genealogy. Good overall.\n\ngood info need to try it thank you\n\nGood info. I've committed to Evernote but will explore Notion as another option.\n\nGreat as always. Really informative.\n\ngreat info\n\nGreat information that was well presented. Thanks!\n\nGreat information. I think this will be an app I will use because I was finding that I had too many different apps to use. It will be nice to have them all combined into one.\n\nGreat topic. Always looking for efficient ways to organize and take advantage of new functionality. Excellent presenter \n\nGreat webinar giving some very interesting evaluations of the noted apps.\n\nHad to leave due to the arrival of the gentleman whose is fixing my dryer. I do plan to watch the recorded webinar.\n\nI am not as familiar as I need to be to use this app. It looks like it would be a great option for those who are adept at using these technological organizing tools. I'm just not there. Through my eyes, the talk was full of into, but a little too fast for my ilk. But thank you for introducing this to me. It makes me more knowledgeable about it when suggesting apps.\n\nI did not feel that it suited my needs.\n\nI like her webinars.....always\n\nI love hearing about new products - I am getting bogged down and perhaps this is the time to get stuff in one spot!\n\nI think this sounds like something that might help me get organized over several platforms I have. Thanks so much. I always appreciate what you have to say, Lisa.\n\nI'll give it a try!\n\nI'm anxious to delve into these sites. They are new to me. Very good . Thank you.\n\nInspiring webinar. It generated a lot of possibilities, both with genealogy and volunteering and professionally and personally and hobbies. You get the idea. Of course each person will figure out if it really is a benefit as we try it.\n\ninteresting comparisons between various tools. I will review her webinar on evernote and trello (which I use)\n\nInteresting concept program worth trying it out but it would be nice to see how it works step by step with a case study or research question\n\nInteresting to learn about another program and method for organizing though I'm not sure that I'll try. I currently use Excel and Word stored on the computer and like the 'security' of that and I do have backup copies of everything.\n\nInteresting topic as was brand new to me as I never heard of it before\n\nIt was a lot of info in one webinar. \n\nLisa always does a great job, regardless of the topic. I wanted to hear this, but I'm not convinced I have the energy to tackle the learning curve necessary to master this.\n\nLisa Alzo is a great speaker, and she puts a lot of effort into her webinars and in person events. I will definitely try a free account on Notion and see how it goes. Thank you.\n\nLisa introduces us to new ideas for sure! Now, to join FB group, too. \n\nLisa is great at coming up with these genealogy tools for us.\n\nLisa used some terms I'm not familiar with, like "kanban." Would be nice to have definitions.\n\nLisa was great. I can't wait to sign up for NOTION. \n\nMooooving right along . . . Sounds like a good app! Lisa explained it very well - easy to understand, especially the comparisons.
