Creator Leverage: Master AI. Build Systems. Grow Your Business

I have a problem. 22 coding and content projects are scattered across my Mac. They were in different repos, stages, and purposes. Last week, I spent 30 minutes trying to find which project contained my options-trading code. Here's the system I built to fix this: The Two-System Rule: Zettelkasten = Thinking and learning • Permanent notes about what I learned • Frameworks and insights • NO project files or PRDs ~/cursor/ = Building and shipping • One folder per project • All code, docs, and...

Claude just became my secret weapon for content creation. I fed it my entire library of notes—thousands of markdown files—and built four custom scripts that now run my content planning on autopilot. Here's what these scripts actually do: Deep Pattern Analyzer: Runs weekly to audit how I spent my time, spots contradictions in my work, identifies cross-domain patterns, and even suggests reflection questions for journaling. It's like having an AI accountability coach that actually reads my...

I wrote a private little manifesto about the merits of writing in plain text and markdown file a few years ago. Since then, I’ve collected nearly 7000 notes inside my private knowledgebase. It’s the engine behind all my content, coding and business ideas. It also just paid off in a way I never expected thanks to Claude Code. First, here’s the gist: No vendor lock-inIf you use plain text and Markdown, your writing isn’t trapped in fancy-pants database or a proprietary format. I’ve tried all...

I built a Telegram bot in 15 minutes with Clawdbot. Then, I deleted everything. Clawdbot (now rebranded as Moltbot after legal issues with a certain AI vendor) is the latest rage in AI automation. It's aersonal AI assistant. You can use it to send emails, manage calendar, interact with online services. All from the command line. I built an interactive Telegram bot that gave me updates on my calendar, email and coding projects. 15 minutes from zero to working bot. But I uninstalled it after a...

I spent last week rebuilding my entire note-taking workflow around Claude Code. Not because I’m an AI fanboy. Because I got tired of my note-taking system breaking down. I was capturing daily notes in Apple Notes (for mobile), storing permanent notes in Zettelkasten (for thinking), and trying to connect them manually every week. Then I took a Claude course and realized something obvious: AI doesn’t need pretty interfaces. It needs raw data. So I moved everything to plain text or MD files. Now...

When I want to learn a new topic (say coding)... I don't just Google it or ask ChatGPT I "prime" Gemini or Claude to become my personal mentor. The secret isn't just asking AI for generic info. If I tell AI to be a "Prompt Engineer," it gives me boring facts. If I tell AI to be a "World-class prompt engineer or coder," it gives me insights I can use. Here is the workflow: 𝟭. 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 (𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲) Don't just ask the question. Assign the persona. You need to demand clarity and analogies to...
