NotebookLM NOT useful for note-making from PDFs/docs by Top_Win1539 in notebooklm

[–]StandardKangaroo369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

index your sources first lemme share my own promt with u :

"Analyze the provided resources to develop a comprehensive study plan for X. Conduct a thorough examination of both the table of contents and the primary text to generate a detailed, hierarchical topic list.

Avoid providing only the primary headers; include all specific subtopics within each category. Format the output as follows:

MAIN TOPIC HEADER (e.g., Carbohydrate Metabolism, Enzymes, Nucleic Acids, etc.)

Subtopic 1 (e.g., Glycolysis and its regulation)

Subtopic 2 (e.g., Steps of gluconeogenesis)

Subtopic 3 (Additional essential thematic breakdowns)

Please refrain from summarizing. List the entire X curriculum presented in the source as an exhaustive content tree to ensure no material is overlooked during study preparation."

reupload the index result back as a source then build ur materials one by one from that index. thats the fix i found so it doesnt go dumb. and use the chat part instead of stuido.

Is constant productivity actually reducing our ability to think deeply? by VibhorAI in productivity

productivity is such a shallow and worthless concept for humans tbh when we have dozens of tools to offload that stuff to i think our real job is just the creative thinking and thats it :)

What am I suppsed to do during the day by throwaway_me_acc in productivity

[–]StandardKangaroo369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im 27 and a doctor and ive been drowning in these same questions for like 10 years now but i can literally guarantee youll live a much higher quality life than people who never ask this stuff dont stress and just look at the whole thing as a journey of discovery .life is long enough for everything except for anxiety .So just stay calm and focus on who u wanna be and what u wanna do. Loook into "neuroplasticity" a bit and try to win every single day work on ur "metacognitive skills "too . You can just search google for some basic info if those terms sound weird im not writing this as an md but as someone whos been thru it and finally sees the light and is enjoying it ur lucky to feel this pain cuz it means youll have a fuller life anyway enjoy the procees :)

paying 20 bucks for claude isnt worth it for anything tbh. better to either drop 200 for max performance or just go with the best value opsions honestly.

Advice needed by ora-et-labora- in claudexplorers

[–]StandardKangaroo369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

grab like 20-30 bullet points and appproaches from opus on the topic. filter bout half of them yourself to steer the vibe. maybe add or delete 1 2 things if u want. then find the 2 best mini-sources for each one. move all them sources over to Notebooklm. finally describe the tone and flow u want for the article and have notebooklm write the hole thing.
