Should you use Basecamp or Notion?
Both Basecamp and Notion are amazing apps. However, they do things quite differently, and if you're thinking between the two, I know what I would choose.
With today's rush for working remotely, we don't have the time to 'play' with tools and apps. We need to get a tool that works for us out of the box.
In today's episode, I do a quick walkthrough of what I think is the best choice.

so earlier today I spoke to my best
friend and she's been tasked to look for
a tool because they've had to close down
their office and work remotely and she
has two options one is notion and the
other one is Basecamp
now obviously you know I use Basecamp
and I'm kind of someone who forces
people to use Basecamp however there are
pros to notion notion isn't a bad app or
service but the way I explained it to
and I think she understood it is that
there's a difference between Mac and PCs
they both have their pros and cons I use
Mac's because they're really simple and
they just work out of the box you can
just make it work and a PC yes you can
make it work out of the box however you
might have to program certain things and
that's basically what notion is notion
is more like a database than a tool that
you can just open and start using now
some might be disagree with me on this
and I understand that because they're
experts in it and they use it the thing
is companies nowadays who are being
forced to go remote I don't know who
said this recently and I completely
agree with it they've been forced to go
remote they don't have the time to play
with tools they don't have you know I'm
a tech guy so I can get notion and fix
it and make it work for me I work on my
own but also I'm a tech guy because I
can do it but if you just want an app
that just works and you don't want to
program it
I think Basecamp is probably the better
thing you don't as I said you don't have
time nowadays because everyone's
distributed now you know with with
what's going on the companies don't have
the time to say oh let's program this
app to work the way we want it to work
what you need is an app that you can
just get off the shelf you still need to
do a couple of things on it as well but
you don't have to
grammar to do what what it what you need
it to do came out wrong so I would
suggest nowadays especially with what's
going on everyone's distributed and
you're kind of clambering to get at all
to work for you base camps probably the
way to go
not notion however good notion is I
don't think it's a quick off the shelf
start working type app whereas Basecamp
actually is notion you kind of need to
know what you're doing get someone in to
program it to do the things that you
need it to do again think Mac and PC
with a piece with a PC you kind of need
to worry about a few things and with a
Mac you can just pick it up and pretty
much start working and that's how I
would describe the two anyway that's the
episode today have a great day if you
have any questions about notion or
Basecamp mainly Basecamp let me know in
the comments below or send me a message
through my website which is MEC jung-hee
comm anyway keep it simple use Basecamp
wash your hands we'll get through this
together and I'll see you tomorrow
have a good day ciao bye bye
