Bob Danley: Fight Decision Fatigue with Google Keep


Bob shared tips for overcoming decision paralysis, when you are "overwhelmed by too many actions needing to be done."

In particular you can use the Google Keep app to voice record lists and make notes from "whatever actions or thoughts come to your mind". Keep notes can be exported to Google Docs to "polish or expand on them."

Nina Trankova: Create Flashcards with NotebookLM


Nina demonstrated how to create flashcards to help learn from the source documents in your NotebookLM notebook.  She also shared that NotebookLM now supports more file types as sources, such as Google Sheets and PDFs from Google Drive. 

She notes, "It’s widely used now in universities by students and teachers but if you are on the go or on your computer digesting new information, a learning assistant is a great way to check your knowledge or understanding."
