Summarise a Long Online Course Into the Twelve Things Worth Keeping
The course was twelve hours and you retained a satisfying amount and are not sure what any of it was. This distils it: six insights or frameworks that would change how you approach the topic, three techniques to apply in the next 30 days, and three areas covered by the course that do not apply to your specific situation and can be deprioritised. Paste notes or transcripts.
