Managing idea emergence across multiple Obsidian vaults and Ghost websites.

I spend some time this morning thinking about how I manage my LYT ARC workflow across the Idea Emergence stages: Add - Relate - Communicates.

Previously, I described this as my LYT Pipeline, and it deserves more attention now that I have am actively thinking, linking, and sharing on WarrenWeb pages, posts, and newsletter via my new Ghost website, as well as WarrenWeb Notes as my new Obsidian Publish website for Plus subscribers.

Ideaverse

My knowledge and notes evolve within my main PKM Obsidian vault (Ideaverse) from initial sparks, mature as they are developed further, linked with related notes, and organized via maps.

I use efforts that include actions for my various interests such as PKM, technology, music, photography, travel, health, writing, genealogy, etc.

WarrenWeb

As I identify content that I want to share and publish via WarrenWeb, I select notes to move to the medium in my WarrenWeb vault where I can still leverage all the inherent Obsidian features such as linking.

This allows me to focus my writing on the content as I want it to appear initially in WarrenWeb Notes digital garden via Obsidian Publish, and eventually in WarrenWeb on the Ghost publishing platform.

Shortcuts

I have started developing shortcuts to help me manage this workflow, and I'm able to move notes between Ideaverse and WarrenWeb.

Also, I'm exploring how I want to use Obsidian properties, tags, and fields as metadata about my notes to help with my workflow and WarrenWeb maintenance.

I'm creating shortcuts that help manage WarrenWeb content between Obsidian and Ghost platforms. And I'm developing a Swift app that will help further with additional integration.

Car Maintenance

I had intended to write about my initial experiences with Obsidian Publish this afternoon. However, I forgot that had an appointment to service my car, so I spent several hours in their waiting room. I guess we need to do car maintenance, as well as vault maintenance (and self-care).

So now, I will write about Obsidian Publish over the weekend. I also thought some more about Obsidian Canvas vs MindNode mind maps, and I will write about that too.
