What this looks like in Tjati
Begin with the intention.
An example to bring to the conversation
“I want to learn Spanish. Help me find a starting point I can keep up with.”
Learning Spanish might become a goal, a project to choose a course, and a short daily practice habit. Talk through what you want and review the structure Tjati prepares.
Keep useful phrases or lesson notes connected to the plan. You can add structure as it helps, rather than decide every field and view before you begin.

Making the choice
Choose how much you want to build.
Notion is a strong fit when shaping documents and databases is part of what you want from the tool. Tjati is worth considering when you want planning objects with a purpose already built in.
You do not have to move a whole workspace to evaluate a personal planner. Try one goal or routine and judge whether the way you maintain it feels useful.
Before you decide
A few things to know.
Is AI the main difference?
No. Notion can create databases with AI and offers MCP connections. The distinction here is the planning model: customizable pages and databases, or built-in personal planning objects you can discuss with Tjati.
Should I move everything over at once?
Start with one real goal or routine. Keep your existing setup while you evaluate Tjati, and check the current documentation for import and integration options before planning a move.
What about mail and calendar connections?
Availability has its own release status. Check the integrations page for the current Tjati connections before choosing around a provider.
