Tana is mind-blowing! And, occasionally, mind-bending.

If you see the potential in Tana but don't know where to start, Tana Jump Start is exactly what you need.

I'm R.J. Nestor, Tana Ambassador (and Productivity Coach). Give me seven hours on one weekend. I'll drill Tana's fundamentals with you and we'll set up your workspace to get you off on the right foot.

What Tana skills will you learn?

Fundamentals first

Nodes • References • Fields • Supertags • Live Searches (Queries) • Views

Then the next level for extra power & control

Field types • Extending supertags • Reliably Capturing & Surfacing tasks and information • Setting up your day node and working with it • Grouping and Sorting searches, and modifying what you Display • Setting up Dashboards with Searches grouped in a tab view • How Commands work • How to link Commands to supertags or nodes

We'll answer common questions

How do you translate your thinking from Roam or Notion to Tana? • How do you organize tasks and projects in Tana—and get work done? • How do you capture notes and ideas in Tana? • How do you build dashboards for everything you need to track? • How does Tana fit into your app ecosystem?

And we'll answer your questions

How does Tana meet my specific needs?

How does Tana Jump Start work?

All sessions are LIVE

Content is always up-to-date • It's tailored to YOUR specific needs • Sessions are recorded if you need to miss one and watch it later

Workshops are EXCLUSIVE

The first, on August 19 & 20, will be capped at ONLY 12 • You get individualized attention • You'll have time to ask your burning Tana questions

Practice, not lecture

I'll show you how a feature works—how to think about it, how to use it—and then you'll use it with feedback and guidance from me

Shared Tana Workspace

Tana Jump Start work will be done in a shared workspace • We will learn from each other • You can duplicate what you build into your personal workspace

7 hours of intensive training

Two 2-hour sessions on Saturday

Highly structured • Practice the Tana skills that make the biggest impact

Two 90-minute sessions on Sunday

Expand your Tana skills • Explore your specific Tana needs and requirements

Ongoing help in community

Tana Jump Start is hosted on the Action-Powered Productivity community on Circle. You'll have ongoing access, so you can ask questions and get help even after the sessions are done!
