Systems Thinking for Solo Creators

Creative work thrives on repeatable systems. Each article begins in a notes/ directory, graduates to a markdown draft, and lands in the production-ready posts/ folder once it feels useful.

I schedule publishing windows alongside portfolio updates so visitors always discover something new. When the system is healthy, launching a new page is a calm exercise instead of a frantic sprint.

The playbook is simple:

1. Capture ideas in small notes.
2. Review weekly and choose one to promote to a draft.
3. Polish, edit, and merge.

Once merged, the static build pipeline takes over and the post is live around the world within minutes.
