A Reddit user shared a three-step NotebookLM workflow for condensing 80 pages of course material into 20 pages of structured notes:
- Split by module: use a PDF splitter to upload one chapter at a time, since large chunks degrade output quality.
- Generate notes: apply a fixed prompt asking for comprehensive, well-structured notes covering key terms, concepts, principles and examples; also mentions the Norra Chrome extension that bakes in this workflow.
- Study: turn the notes into video overviews, flash cards, quizzes and reports, starting with the video overview for the big picture.
The full reusable prompt is included.
