Are you open to try something new together?

🗓️ For this series, I’ll walk through NotebookLM one small step at a time—each one you can digest in under 3 minutes.

Not a masterclass.

Not a firehose.

Just one bite-sized step each day that builds on the next.

NotebookLM is one of those tools that once you understand how to use it, it can turn documents, notes, transcripts, and messy information into something useful.

That’s the goal here.

By the end of the 10 days, you should understand the basics well enough to start using NotebookLM for your own work, learning, or projects.

🗓️ Day 1 — Get Set Up

For today, just get signed in.

If you already have an account, great — you’re one step ahead.

✅ Step 1: Go to NotebookLM and create your account

Go to: https://notebooklm.google.com
Click “Try NotebookLM”
Sign in with your Google account

If you already use Gmail, this takes about 10 seconds.

That’s it for today.

Most people don’t get stuck because something is hard.

They get stuck because they haven’t started.

This step removes friction.

Today is just about getting started. 🚀

Tomorrow, we’ll create your first notebook and add source information.

What is NotebookLM?

📒 NotebookLM is an AI tool from Google that works with your documents. Instead of pulling from the internet, it helps you organize, summarize, and generate insights from the information you provide — notes, PDFs, transcripts, and more.
