I was first introduced to Notion and the 2nd brain concept by Thomas Frank when I watched his videos on his YouTube channel. When I saw that the Ultimate Brain for Notion workspace was for sale, I jumped on the opportunity and I didn't regret buying it.
First off I would like to cover the cost, which is quite steep and not for everyone, but if you are looking for structuring your life with extreme details and easy of use (for the casual user), then The Ultimate Brain for Notion is the best Notion workspace out there.
The main and most compelling feature of this product is the mind-boggling amount of details available for every function. Want to add a task? The properties you will fill up will set the your task precisely where you need and the advanced formulae will take care of the recurring procedure, which is not natively implemented in Notion and must be scripted. Want to add a note? The Ultimate Brain for Notion has your aspects covered.
Not only that, but the Ultimate Brain for Notion team and community are constantly adding and sharing new features. The Ultimate Brain for Notion team has recently added a tutorial on how to add a student hub and how to edit the templates to adjust them (or duplicate and make new ones) specifically for students - which was a big point for me, since I am a university student myself and I require to structure my education, semesters, courses and notebooks.
While I can keep on praising the Ultimate Brain for Notion, I want to say that if you are a beginner in Notion, this workspace can look VERY confusing. Don't fret! After purchasing the template, you get an invite to the Ultimate Brain for Notion community, which not only contains detailed tutorials to how to set up and use this workspace, but also contains a large and helpful community who are always ready to answer any questions. If you are more of a visual person and still want to find answers, then each tutorial contains links to Thomas Frank's detailed YouTube explanations videos.
Lastly, I want to talk about the Ultimate Brain for Notion AND the Creators Hub workspace, which Thomas Frank uses when working on his content creation projects. When buying the Ultimate Brain for Notion from GumRoad (as I experienced it), I only had the option to purchase the Ultimate Brain for Notion workspace, which did not include the Content Creation workspace addition. I would have liked the option to consider purchasing the ENTIRE workspace in one goal instead of being told about it in the welcome "thank you for purchasing our template" mail.
To sum it up, I am a big fan of the Ultimate Brain for Notion workspace. I believe that the steep price attached to this workspace is worth it, especially due to the multiple of complex scripts that manage various parts of the workspace such as recurring tasks.
I believe that the Ultimate Brain for Notion is a great option for beginner and intermediate users who are familiar with Notion and know what they want to do, but are not at the level of proficiency to implement the variety of advanced scripts akin to the ones running in this template.
I think that if you are an absolute beginner to Notion, then you should get familiar with how this tool works before buying this top-quality product, as it will feel more confusing and maybe overwhelming to use.
