1. Simplified Meal Planning and Shopping Lists

The first method that saves me hours is effortless meal planning and creating grocery lists. While I enjoy good food, I despise the hassle of organizing meals and compiling shopping lists.

The entire process of planning meals and researching recipes can be incredibly tedious. However, with Notion AI, I can generate a meal plan and shopping list in no time—just by typing a few keywords and clicking a button. It produces a comprehensive meal plan, including calorie counts for each meal throughout the week. When I head to the grocery store, I simply pull up my shopping list, which contains all the items needed for my meal plan. It’s truly remarkable.

2. Effortless Project Planning

Another time-saving tactic is creating project roadmaps. For entrepreneurs and creatives, having a detailed project plan is essential for staying organized and focused. However, the traditional process of research and planning can be overwhelming and time-consuming.

With Notion AI, I simply inform it of the type of project I’m working on, and it generates a comprehensive project plan for me. For instance, I’m currently developing a Skillshare course on mastering Notion. By asking Notion AI to create a project roadmap, I receive a step-by-step guide that I can follow. Additionally, I can opt for action items, allowing it to generate a to-do list for each phase of my project.

3. Accelerated Learning with AI Guidance

My next application of Notion AI is to boost my learning efficiency. Even though I’ve announced my goal of creating a Skillshare course, I still have much to learn about course design.

Notion AI can assist me here. I position it as an expert in online course design and ask for guidance tailored to beginners like myself. I request detailed information to ensure I receive comprehensive answers. If I want to delve deeper into a specific topic, I can highlight the text and select “explain” for further insights. This way, I can gather knowledge without spending hours sifting through articles and videos, and I can keep my notes organized in my workspace for easy access.

4. Streamlined Content Repurposing

As a content creator, repurposing my work for different platforms is vital for broadening my reach. Unfortunately, the manual process of extracting main ideas from my scripts and rewriting them into smaller, digestible pieces was labor-intensive.

Now, with Notion AI, the process has become infinitely more manageable. I instruct it to “Create a social media post from my YouTube video on [topic], including an engaging hook and numbering each key point.”

By inputting my key points, I can generate scenarios for each idea, providing me with a fantastic starting point for a Twitter thread that’s nearly complete—leaving only minor adjustments before posting.

5. Your Personal Research Assistant

Lastly, I leverage Notion AI as my personal research assistant. While I acknowledge its limitations—sometimes offering inaccurate or incomplete information—using it wisely can save a significant amount of time.

As I delve into copywriting, I ask the AI for recommendations on the best copywriters to study and notable books to read in the field. It can even summarize key points from those books, allowing me to gain insights without needing to read them cover to cover.

Although I still need to conduct thorough research and study the material, utilizing Notion AI greatly reduces the time spent on superficial examinations.
