First of all, thank you @Joe Apfelbaum for your incredibly helpful and generous post about tools and resources! There’s truly a whole world of amazing options out there. I have a question about creative structure and organization: If someone wants to: • Gather a large amount of existing material – documents, notes, reflections, images, and ideas – into one shared “collection space” • Then organize and shape it into something usable — like a guide, workbook, or system framework → Which tools or combinations of tools would you recommend for this collecting and structuring phase, ideally in a smooth flow where large volumes don’t become a barrier? Right now, I mainly use ChatGPT and Gemini, and I’m looking for the next step to move from “many scattered notes” to “one clear, structured body of work.” I’ve been considering Obsidian, but I’d love to hear what’s actually working for those of you who’ve tested different setups in practice. Would really appreciate hearing about your experiences 🙏

Here's some notes from Day 1 if anyone is interested.

The importance of having a clear vision and studying patterns not only in the world around me, but also within myself. Right now, I want to build the energy and trust in the process so that my drive has the right foundation. And I don’t need to have all the tools to move forward 😉

I find myself in a somewhat confused in-between space. Somewhere inside, I understand that the way forward is through simplicity, small gestures, one step at a time, and with a sparring partner by my side. I had my moment with Sabrina yesterday! With brilliant simplicity, a whiteboard, and a pen, she created eye-opening clarity and showed incredible possibilities. But most of all, what a world she has built, entirely on her own! Right now, it feels like I’m standing in front of a door that’s slightly open. I know my direction lies behind it but I can’t quite reach it yet. My deep thirst for knowledge in this new world, combined with a mind that wants to run in every possible direction, is tripping me up a bit at the moment. And then came the clone program, bringing a flood of new thought - is it really what I need? It stirred up a lot of question marks ones I hope to find more clarity on today. Because what incredible days these are!I’m exactly where I’m meant to be right now. And one thing I know for sure. I’m on my way.
