“This course is the Holy Grail of NOTION”
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.
If you find yourself feeling scattered and spread across different tools, platforms, apps, and paper planners…
I promise, there is a better way.
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.
Since 2018 I’ve been consulting with individuals and business owners, helping them use Notion to create their life and business operating systems and workflows.
I’ve seen the most common challenges, hiccups, and missing pieces that most entrepreneurs and teams struggle with when trying to streamline their operations.
I’ve condensed my 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 me show you what is possible with this incredible tool!
Start with a complete walk-through of Notion’s most powerful features (and wildly time-saving quirks!).
Create practical planning and review processes for your daily, weekly, and monthly tasks + goals.
Design your workflow to reduce friction and make prioritization and decision-making quicker and easier.
Learn how to design custom dashboards that are tailor made for you and your style.
Get everyone on the same page with stellar documentation, custom dashboards, and workflows that work.
Improve your resource management, note-taking, and idea management.
Know where everything lives and minimize your decision fatigue and context switching.
Share beautiful and practical collaborative dashboards with clients.
Get a sneak peek into a variety of workflows, examples, SOPs, and templates from community members and in our monthly office hours and workshops.
Inside Notion Mastery you can kickstart your workspace with my favorite go-to advanced business + life workspaces, or you can layer the templates in one at a time while you build your system.
I’ve done the heavy lifting for you, and have included a ton of variations and views (because our brains all work differently!).
Whether you are just getting started or you’re an advanced user, you’ll save a boatload of time and get ideas for new ways to streamline your workflow.
The curriculum and templates are delivered via member invite into the Notion Mastery Notion workspace. Yes, the course is delivered entirely through Notion!
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 think about Notion, workflow, community, and customer service!"

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

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.

“I LOVE your templates and examples, so helpful and enlightening!” – Jenny Blake
“This course has completely transformed how I use the tool, to say the least. Marie is easily the best teacher on the Notion platform I’ve come across” – Michael Kilcoyne
@mariepoulin - Every time I watch a video of yours...My brain falls out of its head... A people database... so damn good. *runs and creates*

There is no one out there that is more equipped to upgrade your Notion experience in no time like @mariepoulin. All of her videos, including the official Notion Office Hours are absolutely fantastic!

@mariepoulin's @NotionHQ set up is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
— Ben Ford (@boothead) July 30, 2019
Mind. Blown!
I watched @mariepoulin's webinar on @NotionHQ and it was full galaxy brain. Pages for focus areas, boards for projects, linked databases of tasks with custom views per context... 🤯 https://t.co/SinpkKWLGR

Got started with @mariepoulin's Notion Mastery (https://t.co/5BYfbjK5Qj) yesterday to level up my @NotionHQ skills.

Before even getting into the advanced bits, just templating + buttons to create new a new thing based on a template has been a gamechanger.
I think @mariepoulin has such a dedicated following not because she teaches you how to use yet another productivity tool, but because she teaches you how to infuse calm and order into your life. Especially in a time of chaos.

Marie's setup has helped me to get started on my Notion database, and forms the core of what my system looks like until now.
— Celz Alejandro (@celzalejandro) April 16, 2020
Aside from her YT channel definitely check-out the @NotionHQ office hours, helped me with prompts and designing a system that works for me 🙌
Have you tried Notion but it didn't stick? @mariepoulin is who you need to be following. The Notion Jedi!
— Jed Lehmann (@UnknownGuest) April 21, 2020
My favorite example is @mariepoulin. If you want to learn @NotionHQ, she’s the best person to follow.https://t.co/OOSG02fHGC

I can’t recommend enough @mariepoulin ‘s class. It has changed the way I think about Notion, workflow, community, and customer service. All of that for the price of one course! It’s priceless!
— Monica Lim (@monicalimco) September 1, 2020
Thinking of everything as a database first instead of a page in @NotionHQ is like unlocking the Matrix

Thanks @mariepoulin for being my Morpheus making me choose the red 💊 ... #thetruth pic.twitter.com/8QLRMCTVWZ
“Marie’s course has totally changed the way that I think and work and the way that I organize my projects. Notion is so limitless, and when you get into it without guidance, it’s hard to figure out how to make it all flow. The course allowed me to speed up the process of creating my systems, and I probably would have given up if I hadn’t had the course!
Definitely sign up for this course—get into Notion, it will make your life better.”

Back in 2017 I tried Notion for the first time, and it didn’t quite “click”. I knew it had potential, but wasn’t sure how to harness it.
It wasn’t until I decided to try using Notion to help me plan my Permaculture diploma (a messy, long-term project requiring lots of documentation, resources, imagery, notes, and both short + long-term planning) that I began to see what was possible, and why this tool was so incredible.
As a die-hard (paid) Evernote + Asana + Dropbox + Google Drive user, I was frustrated that my planning, tasks, files, and resources felt disconnected and fragmented.
I knew Asana wasn’t great for high-level thinking and ideation, and Evernote wasn’t great for task management…
I took a chance and moved all of my processes, tasks, resources, and documentation over to Notion, and it was a complete game-changer. I was finally able to build a system that worked for my brain.
I could finally visualize all my work and commitments and got a grip on where my time and effort was going (compared to where I thought it was going).
I was so smitten with the tool, I started sharing it with everyone I knew… and the rest is history.
"I always appreciate how thorough and thoughtful you are in what you share. I’ve learned so much from you that has nothing to do with Notion!" – Krysta Williams
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-watch the content and set their workspace up in a weekend; 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 self study; many students come back to the material again and again.
The content is a mix of text, images, video screen-sharing, and templates. 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.
Yes! While this course assumes you are familiar with Notion, the basics are covered to make sure you have everything you need to understand the core features of Notion quickly.
I love solving interesting use cases with Notion, so when I notice participants having the same questions and curiosities, I create new templates and videos to explore niche use cases. I typically make small course updates weekly, and more substantial updates (new videos and templates) monthly. Have a use case you want to see me cover? Post your suggestion or request in the community forum.
You’ll have lifetime access to the course material and future updates. If you purchase the Office Hours or VIP packages, you’ll have 12 months access to the live calls.
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.
This course is a digital educational product that gives you access to all of my templates as soon as you get access to the course, and as such is non-refundable
