Master your life and business workflows with Notion

Unlock your productivity potential with the world’s best Notion training.

Progress through the core curriculum at your own pace, with community support and live events including office hours, training, and themed workshops.

You’ve gone down the Notion rabbit-hole but quickly got overwhelmed. You binge-watched how-to videos on YouTube for hours instead of writing those blog posts you had planned.

You see the potential of this powerful, all-in-one productivity tool, but don’t know how to fully harness it.

Maybe you tried loading some of the pre-made templates into your account, and got frustrated because they’re not useful enough on their own. They’re not part of a bigger more integrated system.

Templates ≠ A System

Any of these sound familiar?

You feel scattered across a ton of different tools and tech
Things often feel like they’re falling through the cracks
Your Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote or local files are a mess
You waste a ton of time trying to remember where you’ve saved your files

You feel overwhelmed, like you can’t keep up with your obligations
You don’t have a consistent system for saving files or tracking your tasks
You don’t have standard documentation or templates
You make lists of goals and ideas at the beginning of the year… that you never revisit again

If you find yourself feeling scattered and spread across different tools, platforms, apps, and paper planners…

We promise there is a better way.

Notion offers you a way to integrate all of your tasks, documents, activities, habits, ideas, and creativity in one place.

It’s the most versatile and customizable platform for personal and professional organization + productivity—one you can use to run every area of your life and business:

build a second brain
task management
client collaboration
strategic planning
daily journaling
documentation + SOPs
idea generation
research + exploration
content management

HOWEVER!!

If you don’t already have well-established systems, processes, and routines, you’ll simply recreate the same dysfunctional patterns from your old tools within Notion.

You’ve got to design your system in order for Notion to truly shine.

That's why I created Notion Mastery

Hi, I'm Marie Poulin, Notion Ambassador and Notion Certified Consultant.

When I tried Notion for the first time back in 2017, it didn’t quite “click.” I knew it had potential, but wasn’t sure how to harness it.

As a long-time Evernote + Asana + Dropbox + Google Drive user, I was frustrated that my planning, tasks, files, ideas, and resources felt messy and fragmented.

It wasn’t until I tried using Notion to help me manage my permaculture diploma that I began to see what was possible, and why this tool was so incredible.

I took a chance and moved everything over to Notion, and it was a complete game-changer. I was finally able to build a system that worked for my ADHD brain.

I could now visualize all my work and commitments in one place, and got better visibility into where my time and effort was going (compared to where I thought it was going).

But even with years of systems training and design experience, it was still a time-consuming challenge. Notion is wildly open-ended, and if you don’t already have well-established systems, processes, and routines, it’s easy to recreate the same dysfunctional patterns from your old tools within Notion.

Since 2019, I’ve taught thousands of people how to use Notion to design their life and business operating systems and workflows, and have built a team that specializes in workflow optimization with Notion.

We’ve condensed our best practices and workflows into a robust online course and community to support you through the process of going from scattered to streamlined with Notion.

Let us show you what is possible with this incredible tool!

"When Marie showed the Notion team what she was able to build with the product, it blew our minds. She’s both a world-class expert and an exceptional teacher who has helped hundreds of people unlock organization and productivity with Notion. She makes things possible with this product that are even beyond my imagination.”

The community element was huge!

Seeing how other people use Notion was one of the most interesting aspects of the course. I was able to see new ways of using Notion I hadn't thought of, and really appreciated hearing other people's questions. It's not the sort of course where you just pay once, do some work, and then disappear. It's a long-term investment. It changed how I think about Notion, workflow, community, and customer service!"
– Monica Lim

No need to take the majority of online course, just take the ones that rock. Part Time You Tube Academy by @AliAbdaal and Notion Mastery by @mariepoulin were my best investments in education this year. Worth.every.penny. I hear @fortelabs and @david_perell have 👍courses too. https://t.co/LiwGNDWxAc

Who this course is for

Notion is ideal for you if you want more granular control over your task management, goal setting, and personal knowledge management systems, and value integration.

You’re a good fit for this course if:

You’re ready to commit to Notion as a key part of your technical stack.
You are the owner of your workspace, and work either solo or with a team smaller than 5.
You generally feel overwhelmed or frustrated with your current workflow, and your task list is giving you major side-eye.
You’re looking for long-term shifts in your systems and workflows, not quick fixes.
You recognize that despite all the fanciest templates, you will still need to put in the work to customize your workspace to your own needs.
You’re willing to be patient with yourself as you learn both a new tool, and a new way of being. This may involve confronting feelings of frustration or perfectionism!

You’re NOT a good fit for this course if:

You’re still on the fence about Notion, and — OH LOOK A NEW SHINY!!
You’re rushed or panicked, and don’t have time to invest in developing a workspace that works for you.
You’re trying to get a large team onboarded onto Notion quickly.
You’re looking for a quick fix for years of disorganization and lack of good systems.
You expect/require your workspace to be perfect and aren’t interested in the work of customizing your space.
You're looking for Notion to behave exactly like all the other tools you're used to.
You're concerned you might be joining a cult.

LUISA NINO

Artist

This course is the Holy Grail of NOTION! Everything and anything any Notion user could ever conceive of having access to!

It’s like competing in the 100 meter yard dash for the gold, and I get to start at yard 90. One of the top three no-nonsense online courses I have invested in, resulting in massive measurable progress."

EDGAR STELLA-TURNER

Her natural curiosity and generosity is a rare asset, and her patience makes it easy to ask the simple questions of a novice learner. Her course is excellent and I'd recommend it for anyone looking to quickly adopt and leverage notion as a productivity tool, even if just exploring what's out there."

ANN KOVALCHICK

"Your entire team is amazing. It’s a great example of a very well run community and one that is incredibly helpful to be a part of."

I’m learning so much, and I am very impressed by the detail you are including. You have a real gift for teaching – the only way to be this effective is that helping people comes from your heart."

SARA DRISCOLL

Broker Associate, Pacific Sotheby's INT'L Realty

She is fearless in the way she teaches which inspires. She gave me so much permission to play and iterate to learn Notion by simply doing. She always leads by example and refines her modules over time.”

SONJA LEIX

Digital Strategist

The training and resources you provide can be directly attributed to how far I’ve come with Notion and catapulted my ability to use and leverage Notion for a host of purposes.

I find that I resonate a lot with the thought processes and ideas that have driven your setup and the changes it has gone through as well over time, which has monumentally expanded my initial foresight of use cases and has been greatly shaking up how I manage my digital information."

CHRIS DAVIS

I had been using Notion for 6 months without taking the time to set up an actual system beyond a basic note-taking database, whereas now I have built up the foundation of the system that you taught for daily use.
I sooo appreciate your generous teachings in this course, your down-to-earth personality, and the personal touch that you put into it by giving us a glimpse of your own personal and business life in the background. "

GEENA CHEN

Now I am nearly through the course content and I AM OBSESSED. I can't create new databases, dashboards, and workflows fast enough!

This is my first week working in my "week" page--planning out tasks, setting up meetings, etc. -- and I haven't felt this on top of my work in a long time. It's one simple screen and I already have such a strong foundation from which I can get more of what I want to done!

CHRISTINA CIGANIK

Notion has become a pivotal part of my productivity in the last few years... but before Notion Mastery, I was only dabbling in its capabilities. By going through Notion Mastery and implementing just a handful of the templates within it, I've completely reworked how I organize and put to work my actions, ideas, and more.

Marie has created an epic resource here -- one I've turned to when I wanted to revamp an entire planning system or when I'm just looking to make a quick fix to a template.

If you're even thinking about using Notion, you'll go further, faster, with Notion Mastery in your back pocket."

SARA FRANDINA

Notion is the only tool I’ve found that has truly enabled me to bridge the gap between bigger long-term goals and day-to-day actions, all in one beautiful and functional space.

Let me show you how to get the most out of it!

FAQ

How long will it take to go through the course?

It depends!

There is such a diverse group of people in Notion Mastery, and there’s a wide range of experience with regards to Notion, organizational skills, and technical abilities. Some people “click” with Notion right away, while others take more time.

Some students binge consume the content and set their workspace up over the course of a few weeks; others chip away at it over the course of months.

Everyone’s needs are so unique, and not all course content will apply to your use cases. The course has foundational content alongside “resource library”-style content that gets updated frequently, and you can revisit anytime.

This is why I offer the course as a semi-guided self study; many students come back to the material again and again; the office hours give you the chance to come and get clarity and support at your own pace.

What format is the content?

The content is a mix of text, images, gifs, video screen-sharing, and database components provided. This gives a range of options for different learning preferences. There are also transcripts of all video calls, which are also tagged in case you want to dive in to a specific category of discussion. All curriculum videos have closed captioning available.

How often is the course updated?

We love solving interesting use cases with Notion, so when we notice participants having the same questions and curiosities, we create new templates and videos to explore niche use cases. We typically make small course updates weekly, and more substantial updates (new videos and templates) monthly. Have a use case you want to see us cover? Post your suggestion or request in the community forum.

How long will I have access to the course?

You’ll have 12 months access to the course curriculum, templates, live calls and community.

Does this course cover an introduction to Notion?

Yes! While this course assumes you are familiar with Notion (you’ve downloaded the app and checked it out), the basics are all covered to make sure you have everything you need to understand the core features of Notion quickly.

If you’re interested in getting a larger team or organization familiar with Notion quickly, you might be interested in our Notion at Work training as well.

Is Notion the right tool for me?

Notion is excellent if you find your existing tool stack limited and fragmented, and are seeking more control over how you visualize your planning and day to day execution. Think of Notion as a giant box of Lego pieces where you get to decide how you want it to look and function, vs a pre-made Lego “kit.”

If you want something that just “works” out of the box without any effort, or you aren’t sure that Notion is the tool for you, this course may not be a good fit for you.

Notion is ideal for you if customization of your workflow is a top priority, and you want more granular control over your systems.

Is Notion and the course the right fit for my team?

Transitioning a team to Notion is not like transitioning to other tools.

Aiming for 3-6 months to fully implement Notion is a grounded expectation and good place to start.

Most tools and applications start with a framework that users need to adopt to one degree or another. With Notion, you have complete flexibility to build it however you like.

While there are plenty of Notion Consultants that will design and build your Notion Workspace for you, we take a different approach.

In order to leverage Notion to its greatest potential, we believe your team will want to understand the technical mechanics of Notion and then develop your own best practices creating a dynamic and collaborative workspace.

We recommend you nominate at least one person on your team to learn Notion, really well.

Notion’s flexibility comes with the need to learn both how to use the tool, and how to create the systems and structure that make your business function smoothly from day-to-day, inside your Notion workspace.

In order to transition to Notion you will need to identify your team’s Notion architect. They will learn the tool deeply, guide your system setup and support your team during the transition to Notion.

If you are looking for “out of the box” project management, Notion might not be the best tool for you.

Training your whole team?

Notion Mastery is suited for individuals and small teams. If you’re looking to get a large team (10s, 100s of Notioners) up to speed on how to use Notion, our Notion at Work program might be a good better fit for you.

When are the live calls held?

Live calls typically take place between 9AM and 6PM Pacific Time. Recordings are shared within 3 business days of the live call.

What if I don't want to participate in the community or attend calls?

In our experience, students that rely entirely on the curriculum without taking advantage of the live calls (office hours, workshops, etc.) and the community forum (where you have access to our instructors to answer your questions quickly) do not experience the full value of the course.

If time zone differences make attending live calls tricky we strongly encourage you to utilize the community forum to ask questions and make use of the call recordings!

Do you offer Payment Plans?

We offer a variety of payment plans for each of our products. Visit the links to the cart above to see your options. Please note that payment plans are not a subscription or monthly membership fee that can be cancelled at any time. They are a contractual obligation to pay the full price of the course, over time.

We understand that not everyone earns a US salary which is why we offer discounts based on location, to enable parity pricing of our course.

Visit this page to see if your country of residence is eligible for a parity discount.

Discounts range between 20-70% depending on location.
