I created an "Everything" notebook in NotebookLM, and it's one of the smartest moves I've made

A personal account of creating an 'Everything' notebook in Google's NotebookLM — a single notebook loaded with diverse personal sources like writing ideas, course schedules, hobby lists, and work samples. The approach, inspired by writer Steven Johnson, turns NotebookLM into a personalized AI that surfaces connections across scattered notes, helps with decision-making, and acts as an external memory. The author shares specific use cases including book recommendations from a personal list and retrieving course information without hunting through documents.
