I stopped drowning in research after building this 5-step NotebookLM starter-kit workflow

Sometimes, research is procrastination with another name. I have been (and still am) guilty of hoarding bookmarks and never reading them, reading books, and watching umpteen YouTube videos instead of taking action. Could there be a way to start new topics, instead of just hoarding links and feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information? I had a breakthrough with a simple five-step NotebookLM workflow that turns any chaotic pile of links into a clean, structured topic primer. This starter kit clearly shows what’s important, what to learn first, and what to ignore for now. It completely changed how I learn.
