TLDR:

  • Problem solving skills are more important than the tool. A tool like Notion is only a leverage to solve your problem.
  • Learning how to leverage tools will be a big deal.
  • Knowing the limits of leveraging a tool for an idea is important.
  • Having a plan of action for getting off the testing stack is important after the experiment is run.
