Tana Outliner Live Build: compound journaling

Most 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 Outliner 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.

What we'll cover:

  • Capture and merge daily entries into unified weekly summaries
  • Extract entities like people, themes, tasks, questions, and insights
  • Build review nodes across time windows (weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual)
  • Surface long-term patterns using views, queries, and structural connections

By the end, you'll have a repeatable framework that turns experience into direction, and reflection into something you can actually use.
