Definitely focusing on the persona of the reader and tailoring the content based on that

What great stuff Landon - really helpful.

I have a question:

if you read a post like this and you want to keep it as a reference guide, how do you keep track of it?

I find my self not being able to locate something I really liked later.

Or I end up with a ton of stuff and can't find what I'm looking for.

Thanks,

Michael

I don't claim to be the most organized here (ADHD) BUT...

I'd start by categorizing the 'why'. Is it something you want to read again? Then maybe bookmarking it on Substack is enough. If it is to use as a resource? Maybe creating a page in Notion for "Content Ideas" where you have a series of things to reference could work.

I have a habit of bookmarketing ALOT which is why I have like 100 tabs open. An old productivity mentor of mine used to have a running document to brain dump stuff in through the week and then on Friday's hed go through a categorize/store things or delete what was no longer relevant (after some time passes it gives you a fresh view on if you do in fact need it)

Hope that helps

I think the idea of reformatting the best long-form posts to short pieces and vice versa will be worth exploring

Really great ideas in here, thanks for sharing. I feel like it's all somewhat "common sense" -- but articulating it the way you did is impressive, and executing on it all is the hard part of course!

Most things aren't complicated. That doesn't make them easy.
