Jeff Su (YouTube channel)

What the channel covers

Jeff Su describes it as the channel he wishes he could have subscribed to when he first entered the workforce. He works full time as a product marketer and makes videos on practical career and productivity tips: how to organise files and email, how to run a calendar, how to use Google Workspace and Notion properly, and, more and more, how to use AI assistants for everyday office work.

The style is fast, scripted and dense. Videos usually promise a specific outcome ("learn 80% of a tool in under 20 minutes") and deliver a numbered list of techniques with on-screen demonstrations. Recent uploads cover AI note taking, AI presentations, NotebookLM, Claude and Gemini features, and a video on how he would learn AI from scratch in 2026.

Playlists to start with

• Increase Your Productivity at Work: the core of the channel, covering email, meetings, focus and task systems.
• Succeed in the Workplace: communication, working with managers and getting noticed for the right reasons.
• The AI Edge: Work Smarter, Not Harder: practical AI workflows for non specialist work.
• Notion for Productivity and Hidden Gems of Google Workspace: tool specific deep dives.
• LinkedIn Tips & Tricks: profile and posting basics, useful alongside your own positioning work.

Who it suits

Students heading into internships, fresh graduates in their first office job, and developers who feel their days disappear into email and meetings. It is not a coding channel. If you want technical depth, use it as a side channel for the non technical half of your job.

How to turn watching into action

Productivity content is easy to collect and hard to apply. Keep it practical:

1. Watch with the tool open. Pause and set up the shortcut, filter or template as he shows it.
2. Adopt one change per week. A new email filter this week, a calendar habit next week. Stacking ten changes at once rarely sticks.
3. Drop what does not fit. Not every tip suits a developer's day. Keep the ones that save you time and ignore the rest.
4. Measure something simple, such as how many hours of focused work you get in a week, before and after.

Pair it with on Sefism

• The Your first tech job roadmap and its cheat sheet cover what to do in your first months at work, where many of these habits matter most.
• The LinkedIn and personal branding roadmap and cheat sheet go further than LinkedIn tips, into positioning and writing posts in your own words.
• Tools he features that are in the library: Notion and Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM).
• If work and study feel like too much: How do I avoid burnout while learning to code alongside university or a job?

Best for: early career professionals who want quick, concrete habits for email, meetings, tools and AI at work.
