Most of what you upload to #NotebookLM won't make it into your final output. The trick is figuring out what matters without reading everything. That's where Mind Maps come in. Instead of scanning through every source, you generate one map and instantly see every topic and subtopic laid out visually, allowing you to cherry-pick what's relevant and skip the rest. Since my audience cares a LOT more about practical tips as opposed to technical stuff, I clicked "11 Practical Techniques" on the mind map and skipped "Agentic Toggles API Tips" entirely. This opens a focused chat where I could find the specific subtopics that my viewers would actually appreciate! 😁 Try this next time you're prepping a project with multiple sources. #AI #productivity
