EventTana Live Build: Compound JournalingMost journaling captures moments in isolation; useful in the present, but hard to return to, hard to build upon, and hard to turn into something cumulative. In this session, we’ll explore how to build a review workflow in Tana that turns daily writing into clarity over time; moving from raw notes to weekly reflections, to emerging themes, and into a structure that grows with you.
EventTana Live Build: Clarifying Complex ConnectionsMost people organize information the only way they’ve been taught: lists, folders, outlines, buckets. That works until reality stops being simple; when people play multiple roles, assignments and responsibilities overlap, and relationships aren’t neatly hierarchical. At that point, lists tangle, categories collide, and structure breaks down. This session will explore how to model that kind of relational complexity in Tana, using structure that adapts as connections shift, rather than collapsing when things become interconnected.
EventTana Live Build: Collector's EditionWe all collect things, not just objects, but experiences, ideas, and patterns. Maybe it’s the movies you’ve watched, the books that shaped you, or the recipes you keep rediscovering.
EventTana Live Build: A Node NovellaWhether you’re a book writer, blogger, filmmaker, or YouTuber, you need a place to riff freely without losing the plot. In this session, we’ll demo a workflow that turns fragments into structure and keeps threads alive. No contradicted world-building, no dropped subplots, no scattered docs.
EventTana Live Build: Conference ConnectorConferences, IRL events, and meetups generate a flood of ideas, insights, and connections. But what happens after you leave the room? Too often, notes get buried in a doc, new contacts vanish into LinkedIn, and the real value of the event is lost.
EventTana Live Build: The Focus DashboardThis session is about building a Focus Dashboard: a living system that ties together your areas, projects, actions, and reviews into one adaptable flow.
EventTana Live Build: Effective ExecutiveMake meetings meaningful. This session will focus on how executives can capture the flow of decisions from meetings, and connect them to the KPIs and outcomes that matter.
EventTana Live Build: Manager ModeWe’re back with another live build - this time focused on how teams keep track of shared assets and updates, and surface the right information to the right people.
