A Journey Through 601 Days with Tana

Ever wondered how a single tool could transform your productivity and personal knowledge management? Over the past 601 days, I've embarked on an incredible journey with Tana, a revolutionary app that has redefined how I organize and manage information. In my latest X (Twitter) article, I share a detailed behind the scenes look into my experiences, offering insights, tips, and strategies that have made a significant impact on my daily workflows.

But why should you care about Tana?

Here are a few highlights from my journey:

  • Early Testing and YouTube Planning: Back in October 2022, I began exploring Tana for various uses, including planning YouTube videos and tracking my LSAT prep. This early testing phase was crucial for me in understanding Tana's capabilities.
  • Law School Application Tracking: Throughout late 2022, Tana became my go-to tool for managing the intricate details of my law school applications, from tracking letters of recommendation to organizing the entire application process.
  • Daily Experimentation and LSAT Success: In early 2023, I experimented with Tana’s "Day" page, and it played a pivotal role in my LSAT study routine, ultimately helping me achieve a higher score.
  • Note-Taking and Quick Capture: By mid-2023, Tana had transformed how I take notes during virtual events and quickly capture ideas. Whether preparing for law school or tracking team retreat notes, Tana proved invaluable.
  • Dashboard Creations and Workspace Cleanup: Creating specialized dashboards, like my Law School Dashboard, and maintaining an organized workspace in Tana became essential practices for me during the summer of 2023.
  • Class Notes and Time-Blocking: From taking detailed class notes to experimenting with time-blocking techniques, Tana continued to support my academic endeavors through the latter part of 2023.
  • Supertags and Course Design: As I moved into 2024, I leveraged Tana’s supertags to streamline my law school tracking and even turned live workshops into self-paced courses using Tana’s robust features and my instructional design experience.
