Idea Capture Workflow

` When an idea strikes: 1. Add it to the database immediately (even from mobile , Notion app) 2. Set Platform and Topic 3. Write the Hook , if you can't write a compelling hook, the idea might not be strong enough 4. Rate Priority: Would your audience actually care about this? 5. Add Inspiration Source if it came from somewhere

Weekly planning (30 min): 1. Review Idea Backlog 2. Move 3 to 5 ideas to "Researching" or "Scripted" 3. Set Publish Dates for the week 4. Check Pipeline Board , is anything stuck? `
