Damn. We use Notion too, but this seems like a lot of setup and maintenance for such a small org.
I’ve found that the less process and overhead for internal documentation the better. No one at my company has time to groom and upkeep something like Notion to the degree described. That’s not to say it isn’t valuable, it’s just not something that brings value to us.
Personally speaking, not for company use, Notion requires too much unnecessary structure. It’s very difficult to just start writing. I first have to figure out where the thing goes, and how the thing is connected to these things, and how I won’t lose it if I move it, etc.

I first have to figure out where the thing goes, and how the thing is connected to these things, and how I won’t lose it if I move it, etc. The problem is if you don't do this then nobody else will be able to find it once you've written it. You might as well just write markdown in a loose git repo at that point.
- ryanSrich 5y agoI haven’t found this to be the case with tools like Roam. I have a Roam graph with 10,000+ pages, and it’s easier to find random thoughts and notes there than it is in a highly structured Notion workspace.
