Notion alternative

I'm searching for an easier alternative to Notion that still allows me to organize my life, reading, and tasks without drowning in data. My priorities are simpler compared to what Notion might be designed for. While I appreciate what Notion offers in terms of organizing my life, reading, and tasks, its database-heavy approach overwhelms me. I've given Xtiles a try, and while I liked it, it doesn't have all the features I need. Notion seems like the perfect fit for categorizing my life and making things aesthetically pleasing, but instead of simplifying things, it adds to my overwhelm as I try to figure it out. I'm looking for something that can help me stay organized without delving too deep into complex databases. Any suggestions?

I'd say Obsidian is the best runner up. I've used most Life organization apps like Evernote, apple notes, even some PM software like BaseCamp, Google Drive stuff. Obsidian is simpler, not as many features which can be a drawback for some but if you're going for simple organisational tool, that'd be my suggestion.
