Notion is one of the most flexible tools ever built — a blank canvas for docs, wikis, and databases. But that flexibility is also its cost: you build the system before you do the work, and nothing ever nudges you. 1plann takes the opposite stance — an opinionated workspace that plans with you and reminds you before deadlines slip.
