I laughed out loud when you circled the edge of the square while talking about Microsoft Edge

Along these lines, would you make a video about how you would use the Microsoft system with a team? I’m also in pharma on the clinical research side and I’m desperately trying to create a simple productivity system for my team that’s relying on manually updating dozens of excel spreadsheets and my brain is soup. 💀 Trying to smash together SharePoint sites, teams and channels, outlook, lists, planner and loop is such a nightmare. I’m sure I’m not the only one! I really wish I could just use Notion, but I can’t- I have to leverage existing tools, just like you’re saying.

Thanks for sharing. It's Very interesting. I agree that with the huge tool variety these days, it is best to think about the needs and later look for the tool, but most of us are impressed by the tool and later think about how shell I use it. Many apps "sell" us the dream that our problems will be over if we use a certain app, but it is the opposite, creating more work.

I’m curious could Microsoft Access be used as a PKM single source of truth?

Extremely good use case to review carefully. Thanks.

But let me suggest you, as a content consumer, to insert short/quick images/diagrams within your speech. Otherwise the dynamics of the shared content fit for a Podcast rather than a Youtube.

But it just a minor feedback.

Thanks for sharing!

Hey! I would like to kindly ask you to upload the video with the active subtitles option, it helps with understanding, since my English is not the best. I love your videos, Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
