ONENOTE SECOND BRAIN UPDATE
Notion may roll out an update in the future which would allow for true permissions to be set at the filtered-view level, which would fix this issue. OneNote has a very nice and easy to use tab system and within each tab you can create different pages, so it makes things very easy to organize and find. Upshot: Currently, using one copy of Ultimate Brain for personal + team uses means your team will be able to see your personal tasks/notes/etc.
ONENOTE SECOND BRAIN DRIVER
There is a symbiotic relationship between your two brains, and herein lives a key driver to the great transformational power of building a Second Brain. a view of the Tasks database only showing the Tasks that are associated with a specific Project (you’d see this in the Project’s page).īut since it uses these main databases, you’d have to give your team access to the whole database in order to let them work with it. You will see that you are totally in the driver’s seat of changing your system (Second Brain), then as you change your system, it will start changing you (First Brain). In most parts of the system you’ll actually use, you’ll see filtered views of these databases – e.g. Ultimate Brain uses central “main” databases: Tasks, Projects, Notes, etc. This would let them see every row (except those with individually-set restricted permissions). This means anyone with permission to see a database could simply make a new Linked View of that database, which would have no filters by default. You can set up a filtered view that only shows these rows, but you can’t actually prevent them from seeing other rows unless you edit the permission settings of individual pages.Ĭurrently, you must set permissions for people/groups at the database level, or the individual page level. This means you can’t set up a permission like, “Only let my editor see database rows assigned to them.” One of Notion’s main limitations at this point in time is that we can’t restrict access to a databases based on filter criteria.

You can use it with a team, however, it will be very difficult to use it for both team and personal purposes unless you’re ok with your team potentially seeing your personal tasks/notes. Ultimate Brain is primarily intended for personal productivity. That’s how I’m marketing it, and its design is entirely built around allowing you to create your own all-in-one second brain in Notion. The second brain concept relates to the idea of using external resources to unload and organize information, ideas, and tasks, such as note-taking systems. But if you search for Roam Research or Obsidian + second brain, you will find many search results. I once did a search for the terms OneNote and second brain and I didn't find many results. Perhaps a notebook and a pen might considered to be a second brain because it can hold information. Yes, but you should understand Notion’s limitations before doing so. The term 'second brain' seems to be nebulous.
