Your workspace is ready, Maya.

Fieldnote is where your team’s interviews, observations and loose ideas stop getting lost. It works best when it is a little boring: one place, used every day.

Here is what I would do in your first week. None of it takes more than ten minutes.

Write one note, badly

Paste the last thing a customer told you. Rough is fine — you can tidy it later, and the habit matters more than the prose.

Invite the person who takes the most calls

Usually support or sales. They hear the most and write the least; Fieldnote is built to make that easy for them.

Tag three notes with the same word

That is a theme. Themes are the whole point: they turn a pile of quotes into something you can bring to a planning meeting.

What you can ignore for now

Integrations, templates and permissions. They are useful in month two. In week one they are a way to feel busy without writing anything down.

If anything is confusing, reply to this email. It comes to me, and I read every one.
