The Evolution of Evernote and Notion as All-in-One Productivity Apps
Evernote has undergone changes with different CEOs and strategies, and is shifting from a community-focused company to a mainstream productivity software. Notion, on the other hand, has become a unicorn in the productivity app space due to its flexibility and ability to do many things reasonably well. However, some users find Notion overwhelming due to its vast capabilities and the sense of an empty canvas. Many people see Notion as a solution that can solve all their productivity challenges, but it may only do things 85% well, which can be paralyzing or difficult to adapt to consistently. As a result, some users may gravitate towards alternatives that cater more specifically to their needs, such as Acuflow for task management. The important factor when choosing a productivity app is to thoroughly research and spend time with the fundamentals to find the right fit for personal workflow and framework.
