- In this video, I'm gonna talk
about my top three use cases for Milanote, let's go.
Hi there, welcome back to my channel.
My name is Dan and I make videos
for part-time creators or lazy creators like myself,
to help them find the right tools
and motivation to get things done and keep going.
So if that's something for you,
I would love for you to subscribe
but let's jump into the video.
My first Milanote video recently crossed 1000 views.
(cheering)
I've never made that sound before.
Thank you to everyone who has watched it.
Since people seemed to enjoy that video,
I thought I can make a follow up and talk about my top three
tasks that I use Milanote for.
In case you don't know what Milanote is,
Milanote is a productivity app, specifically designed
for creative people and anyone who wants to do
visual planning and organization.
It's got a very clean interface and very simple
and powerful tools that help you get things done fast.
This sounds like a sponsorship message, doesn't it?
It's not sponsored.
My channel is way too small for that but maybe one day,
looking at you Milanote team, hit me up.
If you'd like a more in-depth view
of Milanote and how it works,
check out the video up here, where I do a proper run through
of my YouTube workflow in Milanote.
I also have to admit, I don't use Milanote
exclusively for my creative projects.
A couple of months ago
I started using Notion for some tasks
and I'm absolutely obsessed with it,
but there's still use cases
that I prefer using Milanote for.
So I'm kind of jumping in between apps
when I'm planning my projects.
Number one, planning YouTube videos.
Now this is the one that I talked at length about
in my first Milanote video,
so I'm not gonna go into much detail here.
When I started using Milanote,
I created a YouTube template that I use every time
I start planning a video and it's got different columns
for To Do's, shot list, title ideas and inspirations.
And I love how simple it is to get started
working on an idea and how organized everything looks.
In my first video, I talked about how I'm struggling
with writing a full video script in Milanote
and I actually moved that task over to Notion
because it's much easier in there,
but I still prefer using Milanote
for video projects that are more
than just a talking head video
and require a little bit more planning.
My second favorite use case is moodboards.
This is great if you wanna narrow down a style,
for example for a photo shoot.
Most people will probably used Pinterest for that,
and so do I, but in some cases I prefer using Milanote,
especially since you are able to customize your boards
and add notes or add media from different sources
and rearrange it in a way that you like to see it.
And that's really helpful.
You can also link moodboards to existing boards
and projects within Milanote,
So you have everything in one spot
for any particular project that you're working on.
Before we jump into the third and final use case,
make sure you hit the like button below
because it will really helped me out
with the YouTube algorithm.
Number three, planning photoshoots.
Now this is a use case that I've only used partially
at this stage but I saw other creators do this.
And I think Milanote is perfect for this.
This also ties in with the previous use case
because when you plan photoshoots in Milanote,
you can add moodboards into it.
Milanote has different photography templates.
And one specifically for planning photoshoots,
including checklists, locations, team members and moods.
I'm planning on changing a few things
in that Milanote template and create my own
that works best for me,
but that's what's great about Milanote,
they provide all these different templates
for you to use and get inspiration on how to use Milanote.
And then you can just adjust it and create your own.
One major drawback for me still,
is the absence of an iPad app.
Come on Milanote team.
This would make the experience
of using the app so much better.
All right, these are the three different ways
of using Milanote that I want to show you today.
Let me know in the comments below
what you're using Milanote or,
always keen to find out more ways of using it.
