I know the overwhelm of saved ideas that never see the light of day.
I use My Accountability Partner to turn captured thoughts into consistent output without overthinking. It keeps my creative process moving week after week.
How do you decide which idea deserves your focus first?
Good stuff. Make sure on all steps to consider what AI you choose for what specific workflow steps. It's very important to learn about context window lengths and recent "cross chat" capabilities. I follow a similar approach. One emerging capability. Announced April 10, 2025. Recently, announced by Anthropic. If anyone is curious on this feel free to reach out.
I have tons of good pointers. I've been very prolific on substack. I think solid stuff. But if you ever want to chat power user to power user Id love to chat. Have zoom and enjoy using. I started a book called "The Brain I Built" soon updated the "The Brain 'We' Built" coming later this week.
Well, you may know I started around 2022 at that time. I have no idea about any systems... I did what I had to do that day ...then around 2023 I found that creators actually have systems to create content.
Fantastic article Joel, thanks so much for sharing with us, so that we can benefit from your expertise. For me, the key thing here is AI collaboration not delegation. I also wonder how this tracks with people who are used to collaborating vs delegating away from their AI tools as well...

I agree!! For me it's a mix of research and gut feeling, educated intuition haha
Research… got that
Great stuff here! Thanks for sharing, Joel.
Thanks, Juan!

Love the clarity with which you have explained this system! The steps flow chart is a good way to drive home the idea.
Glad to hear that!

Great point, Brian! Context windows are the reason I use Claude instead of ChatGPT

let's chat sometime!
Definitely. East Coast here. Pretty flexible week. Except Wednesday.
Awesome framework. I especially love the thinking partnership with Ai. I also created a business strategist for myself. We talk everyday
Very cool, Dennis! It is really so useful
Excellent article, thanks Joel!
You clearly layout a practical roadmap to collecting, organizing and actioning our ideas with AI as a thinking partner.
I am excited to work on setting mine up in Claude.
Please reach out if you have any questions :)
Thanks Joel:-)
Brilliant share Joel ✨ Thanks for publishing. Super helpful for Natan & I
This system is brilliant, focusing on activation over accumulation is a pivotal mindset shift.
I love the idea of turning the second brain into a creative workshop.
Thanks, Sharyph! How long did it take you to develop your system?

Oh wow! I do love the idea of not waiting until you have a proven system to start, just go ahead and launch and iterate as you go
Love this article - fantastic framework :)
