"It's mind blowing how much I learned. There are so many things I didn't even know I needed. It all builds on each other, and Nat lays out a really robust system for integrating everything. 10/10 would recommend.

- Joshua Mitchell

"Firstly Roam Research is the most amazing software, for student or business, or simply personal. I took Nat’s first course because I wanted to use it really efficiently and fully understand the power of it. Nat did a perfect job of taking me step by step, and most of the time when I was ready to ask a question, the next module answered it - sign of a well designed course. Thoroughly recommend it."

- Ian Traynar

"Nat's course is more than a tutorial, it is the foundation of a methodology upon which you can build your thoughts and process. As a tool, Roam is powerful - but without a strategy it is useless. This course helps you hit the ground running."

- Benjamin Von Wong

"Nat’s course has not only helped get my head around the beauty of Roam – it’s simplicity and complexity, it’s also re-introduced frameworks of exploration that I’d never fully embraced in the past. That’s two for the price of one."

- Dominic Edmunds

"Before Nat’s course I had just started using Roam as a journaling and note taking tool, I loved its flexibility and I was sure I could do more with it but didn’t know how. Nat’s course was an eye opener and it really helped me expand my Roam usage in ways I wasn’t expecting like the task management, goal setting and CRM functionalities."

- Alan Silvestri

"The course made me a confident user of Roam, and I have started writing a lot in Roam along with personal knowledge management and project management. Your insights on using Roam are really helpful. Thank you for this wonderful course, looking forward to learning more from you."

"I was lost with Roam at first, but Effortless Output made me really appreciate Roam and how it can help organize my tasks and knowledge. Especially your weekly projects and long term goals makes this the best Todo and reminder System in my opinion."

- Mario Thiel

"Practices I’ve tried to implement for years (Morning Journal, Personal CRM, Etc.) along with Daily/Weekly/Yearly planning became enjoyable with the mix of the tooling Roam offers and the action insights Nat provides. I recommend this course to both people that have heard Roam tossed around online and are curious along with seasoned vets on personal knowledge management as there will be something for both."

- Grant Horejsi

"Instead of trying to learn everything for myself, I signed up for Nat's Roam course. It was a worthy investment. He explains things in a clear way, and includes all the little, helpful shortcuts. Not only that, he shares his own workflows and techniques, which I've adopted as needed for myself. I'm so glad that I took it, making my transition over to Roam much smoother and with less time commitment."

- Erik Newhard

"The Roam course really opened my eyes to all the different ways that Roam can be used. Before taking the course, I was using Roam as just a note taking app. Now, I'm doing habit tracking, productivity, project management, and even basic calculated tables."

- Brandon Brown

"What was extremely beneficial in the course was illustrating all the various shortcuts, menus and use of the side bar, which drastically improved my productivity within Roam. I adopted the templates and attributes which provided a solid starting point. I got inspired and excited watching your various workflows within Roam, particularly on writing articles."

- James Whelton

"I made the switch from Notion to Roam after watching Nat’s course. Roam can be intimidating in the beginning, but Nat does a fantastic job explaining how to easily use Roam to unlock its greatest potential. Every morning when i begin working, I copy and paste my pre-programmed template into the automatic “Daily Notes” page and I’m off to the races. I’ve seen a huge uptick in productivity since making the switch.”

- Austin Gray

Got questions?
We've got answers.

Do I need to know how to use Roam to take the course?
I'm not an entrepreneur, writer, or freelancer. Is this course still right for me?
Why take this course vs. figure out Roam myself?
What if I'm not happy with the course?
I already have thousands of notes in Notion or Evernote, should I take this course?
How much time will this take?
What about future updates to the course? Should I take it now or wait?
I'm already taking Building a Second Brain, should I take this course too?

"I figured myself to be a savvy productivity nerd. But Nat's methodical and well-thought-out workflow was extremely helpful in jump-starting my own journey into crafting my own customized Roam Research workflow. Saved me a tonne of time and I still find myself going back to Nat's video to check on specific items every now and then."

- Enoch Chhabra

"I took Nat's Roam Course and found it invaluable in giving me ideas on how to structure my own Roam. I like the use of metadata to create structure on the fly, and have tested a number of Nat's project templates while developing my own! The flexibility of the bi-directional linking, plus the initial framing and ideas I received from Nat's course have created a note-taking system that is genuinely delightful to use.

- Shiyan Koh

"I got in pretty early, but when I tried Roam on my own in December, it didn’t stick. Nat’s videos explained things so clearly and introduced me to new features that I didn’t know about. They gave me the foundation I needed to make Roam work for me. I’ve now integrated Roam into my workflow so much that it’s the first app I go to every day (Morning Pages are great!)."

- Kevin McMurphy
