#IsaacsOpenNotes ## Welcome to My Open Notes Project *My Place To Think In the Open* --- https://publish.obsidian.md/isaacsnotes (here) [Videos](https://youtube.com/@theisaaclester?si=UxJhwb47RQL91E4K) are returning soon, with a different flavor. My long form articles live on my [blog](https://www.theisaaclester.com/), and weekly progress updates are on my [newsletter](https://lestersletters.substack.com/). ----- This is my living, public knowledge base where I think, learn, and build in the open. An Ideaverse, Digital Garden, and 5th Brain all in one. **What you'll find here:** Everything I'm reading, writing, creating, and exploring. From book notes and business experiments to daily reflections and published content across all my platforms. It's organized chaos made navigable. **How it's organized:** This system uses **Maps of Content (MOCs)** - think of them as curated indices for different areas of my work and life. Each MOC (numbered 1-9) contains related notes and sub-sections: **How to navigate:** Think of this as **Isaacpedia** - a wiki of my mind. Click any link to dive deeper into that topic. Each note connects to related ideas, creating pathways through my thinking. Use the back button to return where you came from, or follow the breadcrumb trail at the top of each page. You can also use the graph view to see how everything connects, or search for specific topics you're curious about. 📚 1) **[[1.0 - Evergreen Notes]]** - Systems, frameworks, and insights I'm developing 📖 2) **[[2.0 - Reading Library]]** - Books in progress, completed notes, and reading pipeline 🎯 3) **[[3.0 - Active Projects]]** - Current ventures and experiments 💡 4) **[[4.0 - Content Ideas & Pipeline]]** - Ideas from inbox to development ✍️ 5) **[[5.0 - Content Drafts]]** - Works in progress across all formats 🔄 6) **[[6.0 - Daily Practice]]** - Journal entries and reflection 🚀 7) **[[7.0 - Publishing Hub]]** - Everything I've published, organized multiple ways 📊 8) **[[8.0 - Analytics & Learning]]** - What's working and what I'm learning ⚙️ 9) **[[9.0 - System Maintenance]]** - Templates, workflows, and how this all works **What's in it for you:** - **Learn alongside me** - See my actual thinking process, not just polished final products - **Steal my systems** - All my templates, workflows, and frameworks are here - **Find useful ideas** - Use the search or browse by topic to discover actionable insights - **Watch in real-time** - This updates regularly as I add new notes and publish new content Start anywhere that interests you, or jump into either my running [[1.1 - TaskList LaunchBay|Running TaskList]] or the [[7.2 - By Date|Publishing Hub by Date]] to see my most recent work. ## Please Enjoy The Archives 📚 [[1.0 - Evergreen Notes]] ├── [[1.1 - TaskList LaunchBay]] ├── [[1.2 - Note-Taking Systems]] ├── [[1.3 - Goal Architecture & Project Management]] ├── [[1.4 - Passion-to-Business Frameworks]] ├── [[1.5 - Mental Models & Concepts]] ├── [[1.6 - Personal Insights & Observations]] ├── [[1.7 - Questions & Curiosities]] └── [[1.8 - Principles & Values (my evolving worldview)]] 📖 [[2.0 - Reading Library]] ├── [[2.1 - Books in Progress]] ├─── [[2.1.1 - The Daily Stoic - Ryan Holiday]] ├─── [[2.1.2 - 100M Money Models - Alex Hormozi]] ├─── [[2.1.3 - 12 Rules For Life - Jordan Peterson]] ├─── [[2.1.4 - Red Rising - Pierce Brown]] ├── [[2.2 - Completed Book Notes]] ├── [[2.3 - Book Breakdown Drafts]] ├── [[2.4 - Articles & Essays (longer-form reading)]] ├── [[2.5 - Quotes & Highlights Database]] └── [[2.6 - Reading Pipeline (what's queued up)]] 🎯 [[3.0 - Active Projects]] ├── [[3.1 - Current Business Ventures]] ├─── [[3.1.1 - My Digital Empire]] ├─── [[3.1.2 - Website]] ├─── [[3.1.3 - Community]] ├─── [[3.1.4 - YouTube]] ├─── [[3.1.5 - Social]] ├─── [[3.1.6 - Newsletter]] ├── [[3.3 - Personal Experiments]] ├─── [[3.3.1 - People and Conversations]] ├─── [[3.3.2 - Learning in Public Log]] ├─── [[3.3.3 - YouTube Video Useful Information Capture]] ├─── [[3.3.4 - Lester's Lexicon]] ├─── [[3.3.5 - Isaac's Isms]] ├─── [[3.3.6 - Lester's Latin]] ├── [[3.4 - Pending & On Hold (and why)]] ├─── [[3.4.1 - How to Launch a Substack Newsletter 1,000 hr Field Guide]] ├─── [[3.4.2 - How to Launch a Wix Website 1,000 hr Field Guide]] ├─── [[3.4.3 - How to Launch a YT Channel 1,000 hr Field Guide]] ├─── [[3.4.4 - How to Make Money on Twitter 1,000 hr Field Guide]] ├─── [[3.4.5 - How to Make Money on Snapchat 1,000 hr Field Guide]] └── [[3.5 - Project Retrospectives]] 💡 [[4.0 - Content Ideas & Pipeline]] ├── [[4.1 - Raw Ideas Inbox]] ├── [[4.2 - In Development]] └── [[4.3 - Editorial Calendar]] ✍️ [[5.0 - Content Drafts]] ├── [[5.1 - Blog Articles (all stages)]] ├── [[5.2 - Newsletter Issues]] ├── [[5.3 - Video Scripts]] ├── [[5.4 - Social Media Concepts]] └── [[5.5 - Long-form Essays]] 🔄 [[6.0 - Daily Practice]] ├── [[6.1 - Journal Entries (with prompt library)]] ├── [[6.2 - Reflection & Reviews]] ├── [[6.3 - Morning Pages & Free Writing]] └── [[6.4 - Energy & Focus Tracking]] 🚀 [[7.0 - Publishing Hub]] ├── [[7.1 - Published Archive]] ├── [[7.2 - By Date]] ├── [[7.3 - By Topic]] ├── [[7.4 - By Format]] ├── [[7.5 - By Platform]] ├─── [[7.5.1 - Skool (Lester's Legion)]] ├─── [[7.5.2 - Blog (Isaac's Ideas)]] ├─── [[7.5.3 - Newsletter (Lester's Letters)]] ├─── [[7.5.4 - YouTube (TheIsaacLester)]] ├─── [[7.5.5 - X (TheIsaacLester)]] ├─── [[7.5.6 - Instagram (TheIsaacLester)]] ├─── [[7.5.7 - Facebook (TheIsaacLester)]] └── [[7.6 - Cross-Platform Distribution Tracker]] 📊 [[8.0 - Analytics & Learning]] ├── [[8.1 - What's Working (metrics)]] ├── [[8.2 - Audience Insights]] ├── [[8.3 - Strategic Adjustments]] ├── [[8.4 - Failed Experiments and Lessons]] └── [[8.5 - Feedback Collection]] ⚙️ [[9.0 - System Maintenance]] ├── [[9.1 - Content Templates]] ├── [[9.2 - SOPs & Workflows]] ├── [[9.3 - Technical Setup Docs]] ├── [[9.4 - Version History & System Evolution]] └── [[9.5 - Tool Stack and Integration]]
