# Turning Tutorial Notes Into Workflows I Could Use

A personal reflection on watching videos, reading blogs and working through tutorials, then turning useful notes into workflows for freelance work.

I have watched what feels like millions of YouTube videos, read blogs and worked through tutorials. I kept notes and summaries, then started turning the useful parts into workflows for my freelance work.

## The hard part came after learning

For me, the challenge was putting what I learned to use in my own business. Notes and summaries were a way to keep the useful parts; turning them into workflows gave those ideas a place in my freelance work.

## Why I started sharing the resources

That habit is part of why I created OpsSolo. The shop gives me a place to share the notes, summaries and practical resources I have made for work I do myself. Each product is something I have used, though the exact format and purpose differs from one product to another.

I share the parts that proved useful in my own work. The products vary in format because the material does not always call for the same kind of resource.

## A distinction I keep coming back to

Learning something and applying it are separate parts of the process. A clear tutorial can help with the first. A workflow or working document can make it easier to carry the idea into day-to-day work.

This post is a reflection on my own experience, not a step-by-step method. For walkthroughs with a defined task and sequence, browse the [OpsSolo tutorial guides](/guides).
