Hi! Initially I had the same impression and my team had a hard time convincing me to give it a try. Since then I really started enjoying Notion though.
So, what is notion? I'd call it a flexible on-line data organizer. Notion gives you a concept of pages (which then can have subpages) and blocks. A block can be a text, a table, a todo list, a calendar, an embedded Tweet etc.
I think a good way to see what you can do with it is to use the templates - they are example pages that allow you to see what are Notion's capabilities.
A few examples of what I've used Notion for:
* tracking my job applications when I was looking for a new position
* notes on resources I'm using for an online course I'm working on (I have a plan for lessons, each lesson has attached resources)
* planning my holidays trip - it was a combination of todo list, map with our stops, list of hotels I booked etc.
* todo list when moving to another country
I've also seen it used as a team handbook, here's a public example by Blendle: https://www.notion.so/Blendle-s-Employee-Handbook-7692ffe24f07450785f093b94bbe1a09 https://www.notion.so/Blendle-s-Employee-Handbook-7692ffe24f...
