Have I mentioned Tana?

I signed up to get on the waiting list for Tana a while ago. I didn't hear anything. And then Tana started being mentioned more and more on Twitter and I felt a bit left out! Then I discovered a shortcut to get an access code - join the Slack group and post in the introduction channel. So, I did. Not long afterwards, I got my invite.

Tana can do so much. I made the mistake of jumping into more complex setup stuff. Then decided I was making it hard for myself so deleted my workspace and started over. I customised my day tag and created a simple template for my daily note. Over the past week, I've added to it and tweaked it. I've learned about other functionality. I'm sure there is a whole lot more I could be doing but one step at a time!

Tana could be the Everything OS. But I'm concentrating on making it my Writing OS. It lends itself to logging notes that spark ideas. I have a content hub dashboard (thanks to Ev Chapman's Tana Academy). I add a bit more to it everyday.

This was a funny one. The Tana Capture app lets you record voice memos which can then be transcribed in Tana. All my transcripts were in Welsh. Apparently these glitches can be a thing in Open AI. I asked for help and was referred to a video that gave me some ideas. One gripe I have about video tutorials - they often forget steps. Or they click the keys so fast that you don't know what they did. Or they don't explain some of the subtleties. I had to hunt around for some basic key strokes which I did eventually find, and was able to set up an appropriate command to transcribe my voice memos in English. It's a function I want to use a lot.
