T.O.M. consist of two members, Janco Krale (28) & Theo Mulder (28). The duo comes from a little town called Staphorst in the north of Holland near Zwolle. They have always been good friends and had this love for Music since they can remember.

In 2005 they seriously started with DJ-ing and producing their own tracks. Specializing in trance and progressive. Despite of their love for vinyl, they had to give up the fight because it being outmoded and at the end of 2009 they started using cd players.

Since then T.O.M. has been DJ-ing in and around Holland aswell as in Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia with highlights such as: New Year's Eve Prague (CZ), Free Summer Festival, Kosice (SK), Sound Of The Netherlands (CZ), Language Of Trance (CZ), Feel Trance On Tour (CZ), Feel Trance (DE), Fusion Of Dance Festival Winter & Summer Editions (NL), Queen Dance Festival (NL) & Dance 4 Freedom (NL).

T.O.M. has played together with some big names in the industry like Marcel Woods, Ron van den Beuken, Sequenta, Dazzle, Daniel Wanrooy, Amex just to name a few.

T.O.M.'s fresh sounds and rhythms quickly made them a favourite within the crowd. In 2009 T.O.M. chose to invest more time in producing. Nowadays Theo is the dj / producer and the face of T.O.M. while Janco is co-producing, doing the management and keeping the website, contacts and social networks up to date.

For T.O.M. it has been an uphill battle to get into the trance scene. Living in Holland being a producing duo they have to bring something new to the market, because there is a lot of great dj's and the bar is set very high. Since 2009 they had releases on Black Hole Recordings, In Trance We Trust, Fektive, Musical Madness, Spinnin and made remixes for the likes of: Ron van den Beuken, P.H.A.T.T., Virtual Vault, Julian Vincent, Amex and others.

Others also have taken notice of their production skills, including ATB who have licensed their track Monsoon (Jason van Wyk Remix) for his cd "The DJ6 In The Mix" and Bobina also chosen Monsoon (Original) on the new "In Trance We Trust" compilation. Nowadays the productions from T.O.M. got support from Tiesto, Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten, Paul van Dyk, W&W, Markus Schulz, Alex Morph & Paul Oakenfold and many many more

On a monthly basis T.O.M. is featured on their own radio show called: Colours by T.O.M. on Puresound.FM.

To top it all T.O.M. had one of their big spotlight moments in Tiesto's show called: 15 Minutes of Fame @ Tiesto's Clublife on Radio 538.

All the T.O.M. releases are available on: Beatport, Itunes, Dance Tunes, Trackitdown, Audiojelly & Juno.

Watch out for these talented guys in the near future, because 2012 looks really promising with a lot of new projects coming up.

I put my whole video project system into a Notion template that you can duplicate and use for free: https://thomasjfrank.com/templates/notion-video-project-tracker/

I've also created templates for note-taking, task management, and more: https://thomasjfrank.com/templates/

Decades of relational databases and the people behind notion seem to be some of the first people to actually give it to a user directly in such a way that non-techies can use it just as easily as people spending their whole lives working with SQL databases

“... and that really reflects one of my core philosophies: when it comes to tools and learning, I’m always looking for a way to do things because even if the way I’m doing something now seems to work, there’s probably some kind of improvement that I could make that would bring an unforeseen benefit. And the exact same thing goes for just reading widely and constantly exposing myself to new ideas and trying to learn new things on a daily basis. When you do this, you tend to combine ideas in your head and find solutions that you would not have otherwise came across."

This paragraph is a masterpiece. I put it in my iPhone reminders and reminder myself on a daily basis.

John Laing

At around 10 minutes (10:04) you say, "I don't use Notion as a note-taker. I tend to write my videos in Evernote." That is interesting. You apparently find it better to switch to Evernote from Notion, at least for some writing tasks. Could you please elaborate a bit? The reason I am asking is that it would seem most productive to stay in one App, and you seem to really like Notion.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial on Notion.

Could you do a video on digital note taking with pens? e-books, erasable notebooks (those you can put in a microwave), tablets, other forms of semi-digital notebooks and all of that stuff to get the benefits of better learning through writing and also having things stored digitally and using less paper, space and weight. I know it is a relatively new topic, so it would be interesting to see what you think about that!
Kind regards :)

Thank you for this. I've spent the past two days learning Notion. Years ago, when trying to wrangle personal information management, I had come up with the concept of being able to have differnt building blocks, like they have done, because not all data is the same and can't be handled by one construct. I opted to build something super simple, but they have taken that initial concept and stretched it way beyond what I imagined. As with a lot of these types of services, the docs are great for showing how to do things but fail to give a clear picture of the underlying *concepts*, which is especially important when it comes to being able to create hierarchy and relationships such as in Notion. I am using your video template (modified for my much smaller channel) and also created a todo template that has a todo as well as a budget database and a note area. I'm liking it! The one thing I don't get is half my "blocks" on the free version are already taken. Deleting almost everything I didn't go below 50%. If I continue to use it (i've been known to quit things like this because it doesn't become a habit), it's certainly worth the price to upgrade.

Mr H

I just loved the New Project templates and check marks. I've been thinking of using a similar template, but also need to add people to different parts of the tasks in the checklist. A project based system consisting of several separate tasks could work, but it starts to get really heavy to use when you just add simple tasks and have to add them all to those small to mid size projects every time. Anyone have a suggestion of how to do this better? Perhaps by adding a name column next to the task check lists and add people there if it differs from the main owner of the project?

Gianni Cremasco Ovens

can you make a video on how to use your Outlook more effectively and sorting out emails faster? in general more videos specifically on office productivity would be great, thanks

This is an outstanding video and incredible valuable.

But stuck with it, and this video today has changed my world lol. My brain is exploding with ideas on how to use it better, and actually fried my brain! Thanks Thomas!

Thanks for a great video and a template! I have been looking for something similar to handle my video work! I can't wait to watch more of your videos! Cheers 🤗

I really like how your videos are clear, concise, take an honest look at the pros and cons, and provide a lot of actionable, useful, information, etc. Thanks for not wasting our valuable time with "content filler"! I'm sure a large part of that is the work you do in the iterative process involved in combining, editing, etc.

I just want to make a broad comment on what I seem to be observing over the years. There seems to be some re-invention and rediscovery. The powerful things in Notion seem to be leveraging things which have been around a long time in SQL-based Relational Database Management Systems (RDMS). -table merging. -aggregation. I think applications and interfaces like Notion seem helpful in making the common work and maintenance in RDMS's a little easier. But it does seem to be the case that the manual aspects still haven't gone away. You still have to manually "maintain" your template (like a database schema you wish to instantiate). You still have to manually (via those toggle switches) create/set your views: the database fields you want to join on and see, etc. And I see that people STILL haven't been able to get around/past using csv to interface with other systems. Then, often, one ends up creating a somewhat monolithic structure which can be hard to change/modify for a new purpose. Simple note-taking apps/systems seem to have acknowledged that people don't, in practice, seem to want to take this time in maintenance (which, I would agree, ultimately pays off in other time savings). That seems to be why things like Keep or Evernote arose. Anyway, Notion seems to have a basis in an old tabular model, which is easy for people to understand, and is conducive to relational systems. Other apps (e.g. Roam Research, etc., like you made a video about?), seem to be using more of an object model (think NoSQL like MongoDB), more conducive to ad hoc web scaling, graph representation, and maybe things like GraphQL. But, for those, it can take time to create efficient/easy functions to systematically relate data. It seems like things which can, say, be serialized to json (vs csv) might give the best of both worlds: ad-hoc association, via key-value "objects", and "arrays" which contain things easy to iterate over (for aggregation, etc). Anyway, this comment has been a bit disorganized, and probably TMI. I've worked in neuroscience, data science, and always thought about what are the most effective ways people learn, organize, store, and transfer (share) information. So I guess your videos make me think about that. Thanks!

WOW this video was awesome! I've started my YouTube adventure about a month ago and my biggest pain point has been how to organize everything - THIS was priceless, thank youuuu!

It would be good to see a video on the calculation fields and cool use cases.
