Big Idea
The argument in one line.
Every creator's best content ideas live in mundane daily moments they already dismiss as boring, and a four-step system of noticing, specifying, re-angling, and banking turns any one moment into several finished posts.
Who This Is For
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
You stare at a blank page before filming because you think your life isn't interesting enough to post about.
You're a new or early creator who keeps doom-scrolling for inspiration instead of building your own idea pipeline.
You've made one piece of content from an experience and never thought to make three more from the same moment.
SKIP IF…
You already run a documented idea-capture system and have a backlog you draw from every week.
TL;DR
The full version, fast.
Most creators think they need a more interesting life to have more content, but the video argues the opposite: ordinary moments, a grocery trip, a commute, already contain meaning, you just haven't learned to notice it. The four-step system is to notice a moment worth flagging, ask why it stuck to form one specific idea, then run that idea through four repurposing angles (memory, tension, usefulness, change) to get several distinct posts from the same event, and finally log everything in one centralized content bank, a notes app or a document, so ideas never get lost. Do this consistently and you start reading your own life for content in real time instead of staring at a blank page.

Jun opens with the core claim: the block isn't a boring life, it's not knowing how to read meaning out of it. He names the trap of over-researching other creators instead of acting, and lays out the four-step roadmap this video will walk through interactively.
02:22 – 07:39
02 · Step 1: Find something worth noticing
Using a weekly grocery run as the running example, Jun shows how to look inside a seemingly boring moment for a specific detail, like noticing you reached for your dad's favorite food, and contrasts that against his own early failed video ('Dope Outfit Color Combinations') to show why vague content never wins.
07:40 – 10:28
03 · Step 2: Turn the moment into a specific idea
He has viewers ask why the moment stuck with them, then narrows 'make a post about grocery shopping' down to a specific post concept: 'show the food you still buy because your dad always chose it.'
10:29 – 12:50
04 · Step 3 setup: why repurposing beats living a bigger life
Jun argues the same event can produce many different stories, the way four people retelling one memory each emphasize something different, and frames repurposing as saving the time and effort already spent, not padding output.
12:51 – 17:12
05 · The four angles: memory, tension, usefulness, change
He walks through four repurposing lenses applied to the same grocery-store moment, pulling a different post idea out of each one, and tells viewers to drop any angle that feels forced rather than force all four.
17:13 – 20:40
06 · Step 4: Build a one-place content bank
Jun pushes back on over-engineered systems in favor of one centralized, already-familiar place, like a notes app or a shared doc, as the single requirement for never losing an idea again.
20:41 – 24:12
07 · Chaining moments and reading patterns in real time
He explains that logging moments over time surfaces patterns in your own behavior that become new content on their own, draws the line against telling other people's stories (an ex after a breakup), and frames the untouched ideas in your bank as the ones most likely to surprise you.
24:13 – 26:02
08 · Close: your life already has meaning
Jun recaps the full four-step workflow and closes on the video's thesis: the work isn't living a more interesting life, it's learning to read the one you already have, framing content creation itself as a personal-development practice.
Atomic Insights
Lines worth screenshotting.
Saying 'I went grocery shopping' tells a viewer nothing, but 'I reached for my dad's favorite food without thinking' is a specific moment someone can connect to.
Extrapolating meaning from a mundane event is a higher form of intelligence than having an exciting life, because it proves introspection and self-awareness.
The worst creators wait for a vacation or big life event to make content; the best creators find meaning in moments they're already living.
One ordinary event can produce four separate posts by running it through four angles: memory, tension, usefulness, and change.
If an angle feels forced, skip it. Four categories are a checklist, not a quota every moment has to fill.
A content idea isn't finished until you've asked why it stuck with you. That 'why' is what turns a memory into something viewers care about.
An idea logged in one centralized place, a single notes app or document, beats an elaborate dashboard that's too complicated to actually use.
Repurposing exists to save time and energy on ideas you already put effort into developing, not just to pad your output.
The longer you document your own moments, the more you start noticing patterns in your own decisions and behavior, which becomes new content on its own.
Content about other people, like an ex after a breakup, belongs private. Content about how you evolved because of that experience is the shareable version.
Writer's block mostly comes from having nothing already logged. Creators with a running content bank never start from a blank page.
A piece of content performing worse than expected doesn't mean the idea was wrong. The ideas you're least confident about are sometimes the biggest unlocks.
Takeaway
Ordinary moments already have the content in them
WHAT TO LEARN
A four-step system, notice a moment, specify why it stuck, run it through four angles, log it in one place, turns any ordinary experience into several distinct, usable content ideas.
01Your life is not boring
The real block isn't a boring life, it's not having a repeatable process for noticing meaning in the one you already live.
Endless research on other creators, saving posts, collecting inspiration, makes the freeze worse because it replaces an actual game plan.
02Step 1: Find something worth noticing
A vague statement like 'I went grocery shopping' gives a viewer nothing to grab onto; a specific detail like 'I reached for my dad's favorite food without thinking' gives them curiosity and a question to answer.
Content built only on a stylistic choice, an outfit, a trend, competes with every other creator doing the same thing; content built on the meaning behind that choice doesn't.
Look for a reaction, a choice, or something you didn't expect inside a moment, that's the detail that separates a post from a diary entry.
03Step 2: Turn the moment into a specific idea
Before you can post a moment, ask why it stuck with you. That answer is the actual content, not the moment itself.
A content idea gets specific when it moves from a category ('grocery shopping') to a concrete claim a viewer can relate to ('food I still buy because my dad always chose it').
04Step 3 setup: why repurposing beats living a bigger life
The same event can become multiple different stories, the way four people recounting one memory each remember something different; you can do this with your own experiences too.
Repurposing exists to get more value out of time you already spent developing an idea, not to inflate your output artificially.
05The four angles: memory, tension, usefulness, change
Run a specific idea through four lenses to multiply it: what it reminds you of (memory), what conflict it held (tension), what someone else could learn from it (usefulness), and what changed because of it (change).
Not every angle fits every moment. If one feels forced, skip it rather than inventing a conflict or change that isn't real.
An angle only counts if you can answer: am I doing something different here, can I support it with real detail, would a viewer get something from it?
06Step 4: Build a one-place content bank
A content bank is just one centralized, already-familiar place, a notes app, a shared doc, a sticky note, not a complex system you'll abandon.
If you can't name three stories you could tell right now, you haven't been logging moments in real time, and that's the actual skill to build.
07Chaining moments and reading patterns in real time
Documenting moments over time surfaces patterns in your own decisions, and recognizing those patterns becomes a new, higher-level layer of content.
Tell your own evolution from an experience, not another person's story; a breakup becomes content when it's about your growth, not your ex.
The ideas you're least confident will land are sometimes the ones that perform best, so publish from the full bank instead of pre-judging what you think will work.
08Close: your life already has meaning
Treat your content output as a portfolio: each post zooms into one moment, but the full bank becomes a reflection of who you are.
The goal isn't a more interesting life, it's reading the meaning already inside the life you're living.
Glossary
Terms worth knowing.
Content bank
One centralized place, like a notes app or document, where you log every content idea the moment you notice it so you never start from a blank page.
Angle
A different lens, memory, tension, usefulness, or change, applied to the same moment to generate a distinct, separate piece of content from it.

metaphor
Your life is not boring. The fundamental question that everyone asks is, June, what do I even post about? I would love to achieve X, Y, and Z.
I'd love to live this lifestyle, but in the same breath, I have no idea where to start. And then you have this imposter syndrome thinking, but June, I don't have an interesting enough life to then create content. But that's not how the best creators think.
It's actually figuring out in the most mundane experiences, how do we extrapolate meaning from it? If you can do that, you can start to learn how to read your life, then the entire world is now an opportunity for you. you start conveying new ideas.
And so I'm going to teach you how to do that in this video so that ultimately you will never, ever run out of ideas. And also I'm doing this in a way that you can follow along. So this is super interactive.
Make sure you have a notepad out so that you can fill out each step as we go. This is how to never run out of content ideas again. Right now, you might be sitting down to make content and suddenly you can't think of anything to say, especially when you get.
in front of the camera, you tend to freeze. All these great ideas are no longer there. And therefore, you're going to start looking at everyone else because that's what you were taught to do, right?
You were taught to research, aka doom scroll, but you were taught to now look at everything and everyone else. So you save more posts, you collect more inspiration, but all your ideas still feel unclear. Again, that freezing experience does not go away.
It actually becomes worse because I think the more you do research without having a real game plan of how you can take action, it starts to muddy up your entire purpose altogether. So in this, I am going to fix that for you entirely.
So you are going to learn how to take one ordinary experience, turn it into specific content ideas, then save a bank of videos that you can actually make. So we're going to take the ordinary, things that you're already living. You don't have to wait to be somebody.
You already are someone. I'm going to help you craft meaning out of these experiences so that you can make a bunch of content from it. So this is the roadmap.
And again, this is fully interactive. So I encourage you to have your notepads out and follow along each step. Because if you do that, the top 1 % of people will do that.
The 99 % of people are just going to watch this, consume it, think that it's great inspiration. But the 1 % are going to recognize this system and follow it step by step. So we're all beginning here, and I'm going to have us find something worth noticing.
So I'm going to have you take that notepad of yours and write down something you did in this last week. It could be anything, whatever comes up to mind, even if you think it's quite boring. mundane, just list it out for me on that notepad.
Every time that I'm giving that direction, feel free to pause the screen, write down the thing, and then actually replay it so that ultimately you can make the most out of this entire system. So we're going to go ahead and uncover step one together. So think of your weekly grocery shop.
Potentially you've gone grocery shopping this week, or maybe you've gone in the last two weeks. We all have experienced that type of circumstance. So now if you think about your grocery shopping experience, you might think it's too normal.
It's too much. day and I don't really do anything there. Why the heck would I make content about it?
It's too boring, June. Why would anyone care? So that's how you naturally think about your weekly grocery shops, but it could be about your daily commutes.
It could be about anything that you find to be repetitive, things that no one would care about. If you just said, I went shopping. Yeah, you're right that this can't be a content post because it tells your viewer very little.
What happened while you were there though, is now a question that we can start asking ourselves. And this is going to then have us look inside the moment. Being able to extrapolate meaning out of events and experiences is like the highest form of intelligence.
It's going to prove that you have one, introspection, two, that you have enough awareness to then make meaning and convey a message from it. So we're going to take something quote unquote boring or mundane and look inside the moment in and of itself. Maybe you check the price of something you used to buy without thinking.
Does that mean that you're becoming a little bit more money conscious? A song reminding you of someone important to you. You're going through the aisles, you're hearing the song and you're like, oh yeah, that reminds me of my first date or that reminds me of that one party that I went to or that reminds me of X, Y, and Z.
You picked up your father's favorite food without even realizing you did. And you're looking at you like, oh, I do choose this bread even though it's like $3 more expensive because it reminds me more of my childhood. It's something that I really gravitate towards.
It's something that I'm not going to have as a negotiable. You felt proud that you could finally pay for the whole basket. Maybe it's like you look at this shopping cart and you're like, You don't, what?
I'm so proud of the fact that I can cover this. I can actually make a living for myself. And maybe that's the thing that you're looking at inside the moment.
So the event, the surface level, you being at the grocery shop didn't change, but you asked yourself enough questions to understand meaning, or at least you're starting to actually understand that ordinary can turn into something, a noticeable moment that we could now start to explore with our content. The meaning is what makes it worth sharing though.
So I see a lot of people make the mistake where they'll say, okay, June, I'm gonna start content because this summer I'm going to go to Hawaii or I'm going to go to this awesome different travel destination and then I'm going to start making some awesome fun fantastic really cool marvelous looking content and I'm like no you got it completely wrong because you're not going to be traveling your whole life so what are you going to do after those two weeks are over and I would actually suggest that the worst creators rely on how great their experience is to then make content the best creators could take the boring the mundane and then make it meaningful because they find that meaning inside of that moment so notice what makes you pause.
It could be a reaction, a choice, something you didn't expect, something you had to figure out. So the more that you get to do this, you start to train your eyes for this, right? So meaning that as you go through your regular life, you just start to read these moments in real time.
Right now, we're doing this more retrospectively as in like now, okay, we're sitting down with a notepad trying to figure out what happened this past week. But the best creators are able to read moments in real time and say, yes, all right, this is something I care to share. Now look at the difference.
I went grocery shopping. Yes, it's boring. It's ordinary.
It's mundane. You can't make a piece of content that people are going to care about. That's too vague.
But you saying I reached for my dad's favorite food without thinking, all right, there's specificity, there's curiosity developing. It's like, what is that favorite food? And why is that meaningful to you?
I want to show you one of my old videos. This says dope outfits. And it's me doing these little cool poses in my basement.
So that was my first ever piece of content. This took me like nine, 10 hours to make. And I was wearing my brother's clothing.
But if we actually look at this piece of content, it says dope outfit color combinations. Unless you like fashion, why would you care? And it's not even just too vague.
It's not even that I'm just competing with all the other videos that are doing the same thing. It's like... I am not giving my chance to win with this piece of content at all.
If people don't like my stylistic choices, again, there's no reason for them to care. If people don't care about these specific outfit choices, or if they don't even care about like dope as in like that's the stylistic choice, it's like I'm competing with way too many things here. Instead, I should have learned to actually take meaning out of that outfit.
I should try to figure out, all right, what is it about this? Is this outfit something that could contextually fit? Is it that I'm like getting ready for a date?
Is it that I'm getting ready for a party? Is it that I'm getting ready to go back to school? the context associated with that?
And then can I craft meaning from that even further? That's the whole idea. So if you're going to make boring generic content, it'll never win, especially with how many people are doing that same thing.
Nowadays, you have to take something that's, again, ordinary, but then fight or extrapolate meaning from it. Now, I want you to go back to that notepad and wherever you had listed out that event, underneath it, I want you to start listing out some of those details that you might have otherwise overlooked. So whether it was a reaction, a choice, a decision, you want to go ahead and start to describe that.
And this is going to be a really good practice for introspection. You're going to force yourself to go into the mind of when you were in that specific circumstance and try to see if we can cultivate some meaning from it. So now that you've completed step one, We had found something worth noticing, and it wasn't necessarily like we were just choosing the most exciting parts of our lives.
We're just choosing something and then trying to figure out details underneath it. Now it's time for us to form specific ideas. How do we start to turn, again, something that we might recall in some details into something that people would actually care about?
So we're gonna tackle this step two, and we're gonna form specific ideas for your post. Now that we have a moment worth noticing, it could be I reached for my dad's favorite food without thinking, we have to now turn this into something that people care about, right?
So a good question to ask yourself is, why would that moment stay with you? What did it make you realize? When I told you to list out an event, you chose that event for a reason.
As much as you're like, no, it's just random, I want you to dig through and ask yourself these questions. So again, what did it make you realize? What might someone recognize in it?
What could it help them understand about you or about the world around them? And so you're taking that moment and now we're trying to ask yourself respective questions to understand a little bit more about the why. Why has that stuck with you?
you. So again, if the moment was, I reached for my dad's favorite food without thinking, something that you might be able to detail from it could be some of your everyday habits come from people close to you. Or a viewer thinks, wait, I do that too.
I never thought about that. So what we're trying to do now is to start differentiating this specific moment and the details that we recall into reason as to why people would actually care. We're giving it even more significance and turning that into a piece of content.
Now the idea is starting to get more specific. So instead of thinking, I make a post about grocery shopping, now you're thinking, show the food you still buy because your dad always chose it. A lot of service providers or musicians, a lot of painters have these problems where they think about just the output of their work.
They think about, well, if I'm a painter, I'm going to show the final painting, but you know, how the heck am I going to make more contents? Because I only have a new painting every three weeks.
It's like, you're missing the point. It's not about the final output. It's about the meaning that you cultivate.
Every decision could actually be a piece of content in and of itself. And so the more intricate, the more zoomed in you get, you then have to derive relevance, right? It's like, all right, cool.
I got, I got some details that are call. Then how can I start to make meaning out of these experiences so that someone can gain value from it? Now, let's say that you're watching this and you're in business person or working professional think about why you've even chosen that career path were you forced into it did you enjoy it do you not enjoy it start to ask the question why and start to get some meaning out of that and that's where you can start to take something normal and then start to turn it into some content ideas so what we just did is we took an ordinary event we turned it into a specific idea saw how people might care and then now we know what to post about If we skip any one of these steps, right?
If we just took an ordinary moment and then we actually try to make a piece of content from it and we skip steps two and three, it wouldn't work. It's not going to work as a piece of content. No one's going to care.
We have to take that ordinary event, then turn it into a specific idea. Then start to ask ourselves the question, why to build relevance for other people, like meaning out of it, value from it. And now we actually have something to post.
So now that we've completed step two, we are now moving on to finding angles. And I think finding angles is probably the most underrated component to becoming a great creator because it allows you to take a specific moment. And after you've crafted meaning from it, repurpose it into many different posts.
And there's a systematic way of looking at this. And I think it's completely changed your way of thinking about content. So now that we have one clear post idea, I want you to think about the following.
The same starting point may have more than one thing worth saying. Even if you think about like... in a very odd, different way.
If you think when someone is telling the same story and it could be like four different people within the same experience, they'll all have different counts of it, right? They'll be like, oh, this happened and this happened. And someone else will say like, no, no, but that happened first and then this happened.
Even in that experience, we're taking one specific event and four different people might have four completely different stories. But that's exactly how you actually experience your own life too. Your brain might have one specific story that it goes to, but I guarantee there's other differentiating points that you can then make more content about.
So it's not about living a more interesting life or doing more things. It's about recounting in different ways the things that you've already undergone. So if we go ahead and look at finding your angles in step three, I am going to break this down in a very systematic way so that every time you have a clear idea, you can ask yourself these respective questions and be like, Oh, cool.
Here's another derived post. Here's another derived post. For those folks that are watching this that already have some experience, wonderful.
You can look at your existing posts and think, all right, this probably answered this one question, but here are the other questions that I can ask from it and start to repurpose that. And if you are very new to content, why do we repurpose in the first place? I keep using that word, but it saves you time.
It saves you energy. It saves you effort. If you've already poured this time and energy into developing a piece of content, you might as well make new lines from it, right?
You want to give it... second, third, fourth, fifth chances of it performing well on the platform. So now if we're talking about finding your angles, what else can you honestly say about the moment you picked?
So let's use our example again. You picked up your dad's favorite food without thinking. Wonderful.
That's one clear idea. How can we now make new lives from it? One is to think about a memory, a memory that you can recall from it.
Tension. usefulness, and then change. These four categories are going to help you repurpose every single idea that you may have not developed.
And you can do this with me in real time, you can be able to take that experience, put it into these categories and realize there's completely different outputs from it. So let's start off with memory. What did that specific food remind you of exactly?
So what did that specific event that you had now just recalled, what does that help you remember? Like what did you do in that experience and what new memories or new thoughts were actually appearing in your mind as you had undergone it? Maybe it's a memory in this case of a meal you used to share with your dad.
Maybe it is. Maybe as you think about the fact that you go throughout this grocery shop aisles and you're like, cool, this is the thing that reminds me of my dad. And then if I think about the memory, it's because me and my dad used to have the same meal together every single morning when I was in high school, right?
So there's a memory attached to that experience. This is now a completely new post from the exact same moment. So the original idea was, all right, I'm going to make a post about grocery shopping.
And now the new ideas could be, right, I'm showing the food you still buy because your dad always chose it. But then another completely new idea is foods that remind me of my childhood. So this can actually happen in a bunch of different ways, but maybe I had like 12 different memories.
It's not just that I had this experience with my dad at one time, but it also reminds me of that time when my brother was also sitting there and we had this one conversation. Oh, but then... I also remember when, yeah, my best friend was over and we had a sleepover and there's these chains where we're connecting different memories together.
And this could then recall into many different ideas. But for this sake, I'm just showing you that one of those new ideas can turn into another by asking yourself that question of like, what do I remember in that experience? That second one was tension.
Was there a conflict in this moment? Did you feel torn about something? Did the moment challenge what you thought about something?
As in like, did you have a preconceived notion, but then that moment actually made you feel like, wait. Actually, I may be wrong, or I should change my course of thought.
If the answer is no, you can just leave that angle alone. So this grocery shopping example doesn't really give us a conflict, so we don't need to invent one to get another post out of this moment. So what I want you to realize is that you don't have to keep recycling if it doesn't make sense for you, right?
We have a bunch of different things that we can talk about, so don't feel limited to this practice. If one of the angles don't work, great, don't force it. Let's look at this third one called usefulness.
What could someone gain from this experience? Could they start to notice similar things in their life? So if you do this correctly, you get another post idea.
So again, it was the show the food you still buy because your dad always chose it. Foods that remind me of my childhood. And now this third one, what's one small thing you do because someone you love does it?
So now you're taking that event and that experience, you're recalling your own perspective. Now you're mirroring it and you're saying, Do my viewers experience the same thing?
You can ask that question to them and then that's a completely different post. It's a completely different value as well, right? So now people are not just listening to your story.
They're trying to extrapolate that story for themselves. That fourth one was called change. What became different after this moment?
So after you've made that decision, was it then a fork in the road where you chose one path and now your life is now bled into something different? It doesn't even have to be that ginormous of a change, but what was that one transformation that you might've experienced? Did noticing this change what you did next?
So now that you had awareness around that, Did that influence how you thought about a future decision too? In this one, we don't have that part of the story yet.
So if nothing changed, good, skip it. If something did change, then you have an authentic before and after video concept. So another way that I'm showing you that you don't have to force it.
If those four angles don't always work, just choose the ones that do work and we can keep repurposing those concepts. And here I'm saying, no, there wasn't really much of a big transformation that occurred. Maybe not yet.
Maybe there is one yet to come, but I don't know one yet to make a piece of content on. Before confirming your new angle, just ask yourself, am I doing something different here?
Can I support it with real detail? Would my viewer get something from it? Now, I want you to go back to your notepad and try the four points.
Keep the useful ideas and cross out the ones you'd have to force. So meaning that you're going to take that one specific event and the details that you recalled and now you've made meaning from it. Once you've done that, you're now thinking about those four different categories and you're saying, could I see my piece of content being repurposed in those four different categories?
And the ones that feel very forced, just remove them. Just say, all right, I'm not going to make a piece of content on it and that's more than enough. You might find one or two different ways, but that's wonderful.
Now you're giving your effort, your sweat equity, whatever you want to call it, new lives. You're saying, all right, now that I have this one, I can then display it in this one and then this one as well. Now that you've completed step three, you've been able to, let's recall.
From start, you were able to find something worth noticing, find and form specific ideas. Then we started to think about angles. We went over those four categories.
Now I want to talk about building your content bank. I want to make those ideas easily accessible for you. And so to do that, we have to build a content bank.
What do I mean by bank? It could be a library, a repository, whatever you want to call it, but it's basically one centralized location where you never lose them before you actually go ahead and start making content. So what I mean by that.
is a lot of the times we have these really great ideas in real time but we don't know when we actually have to make it because our minds go completely blank. So if you have a place where you can go to and you're like, yeah, that's where it is, you'll never lose it.
You never have to start completely from scratch. And one place is more than enough. I think a lot of people tend to overcomplicate these and have these like incredibly difficult notion systems or dashboards.
And it's great if you want that complexity, but you don't need it. I think one place is more than enough. And I think using your notes app or a document you already checked is the perfect place to do it.
I physically have done this in notebooks before because I used to be a big note taker on a physical journal. Great. Now I use my Apple Notes.
Now when we're talking about it throughout the team, we use Asana. It's just something that works for us. Figure out wherever you have your centralized information already and start to displace it there too.
My best friends will have little sticky notes on their actual desktops. They'll go ahead and have that so that every single day they're looking at the different ideas that they potentially can make content about. I think a really great test for this is if I asked you right now, now, what are stories that you can tell?
If you are completely frozen and blank, you actually haven't done this practice well enough, because you should be registering these in real time, and you should have a place where you're actually collecting them. And then when you collect your notes, something beautiful starts to happen, you recognize patterns. This is like the crazy part.
So what happens is that this whole content creation journey, the best creatives, the ones that actually last are the ones that are the most introspective because they are the ones that actually have new meaningful experiences that they want to present to other people. Again, not because they live the coolest lives, but because they know how to extrapolate meaning from it.
But what happens is that if you document this long enough, you start to recognize patterns of behavior. You start to recognize how you are evolving as well. And then there becomes more stories to tell.
You're like, I used to make these decisions. Now I make these decisions. Or maybe this is a common decision that I've always made and this is the reason why I am here where I am today.
Having this ability to have something there and have a bird's eye view and objectively look at your repeated behaviors and patterns is the next step as a creative and the next way and evolution of your stories too. This is going to help you make it more elaborate later. If you have a starting place and maybe you're recognizing these patterns, then you have something to build off on.
The hardest part as a creator is to actually start from a blank canvas. If you have nothing to work off on, it's really difficult. Even empty page, people call it the writer's block.
a crater, you can have a crater spot, you're not going to know what to do next. But if you have something to build off on, that's when something magical happens. So your new workflow will look like this, you're going to write down something you've done in real time, you're going to write down what's inside that moment, you're going to write four different angles of what you noticed.
And now you have four video ideas from one moment in your life. You can take a little screenshot of this and save it in your album because it's really important that you get this flow correct. And the better you get at this, the more you're doing this actually instantaneously without even thinking about it.
So you might be going through maybe a next experience and you're thinking, yeah, wow, this was an important moment for me. And in your brain immediately, you're like, cool, I know how I'm going to capture this in a meaningful way. Not in a way where you're going to dox anyone or talk about anyone, but these stories are about you.
That's a really important point to make here. double down on it. You never want to tell stories about someone else.
You want to talk about your own personal evolution as a result of that experience or moment. So let's say that you've gone through a breakup, right? You should never be bad mouthing your ex online.
That's not the place to do it. Keep those informations private. But what you can do is the following.
You can think about how did I evolve from this experience spiritually, mentally, emotionally. How have I developed in a way that maybe I didn't experience before the relationship? And once you can start to craft meaning, maybe it's this idea of like, yeah, you actually missed out on a lot of red flags, but it's because you were more afraid of being alone than being with the wrong person.
Like that's meaning. And you can do that without doxing someone else. And so remember that these experiences as we craft meaning, I mean, meaning from your own life.
I don't mean that you're telling someone else's story. That's not the time and place for it. And that's so you can get into some icky situations where then people are upset at you and you feel.
bad because you don't want to be vulnerable in that capacity. So you don't have to do that. The thing is, the process can be infinite.
So the deeper you go into each moment of your life, the more angles you can find and the more fun this can become. So this is another practice that I think is going to be wonderful. So now that you have this little notepad where you have the moment that you have been able to describe, you then looked at the details, then you figure it out meaning, then you figure out the different angles, take whichever angle and create a chain and keep asking yourself questions of why and be like, all right, why is this meaningful?
Why do I recall this? All right, make another moment, make another moment, make another moment, and try to piece together chains. So the reason why I practice this all the time is because you don't actually recognize that a lot of these decisions that you've made in your life have these domino effects where one, it influences future behavior, but it also turns you into the person that you are today.
And everything can be traced back. So the more practicing you get at this, now you're like, wait, I have so many ideas. You're now no longer asking the question of like, I have nothing to post.
Like, what do I do first? Another thing that I think would be a very big unlock is to remember that your content should be treated like a portfolio where you're zooming into a moment in time in each of your posts. But it's this idea that all of your contents, this library becomes this true reflection of you.
The reason why I state this is because if you have that many chains of ideas, your next question is going to be, which one do I start with? Or, you know, if I tell this story, I feel like it actually subdues the meaning of something else, but it doesn't. matter.
You're trying to zoom into these respective parts of your chain. So that when someone looks at your content, they look at this bird's eye view and say like, Oh, I fully get this person. I love the stories that they have to tell.
And that's someone that I want to gravitate toward. So that's the very big difference that I want you to really, really, really understand for yourselves. The goal is to have your content bank continuously grow.
And then when you have contents like this grow, you have to give yourself the freedom from expectation to then just explore those ideas. Because what What will happen is that when you see them, you can start to make these judgments and say, oh, I think these are going to be better than these, and I don't want to make these because...
No, no. When you have those lists, it's okay just to try them. If a video flops, who cares?
But the things that you're probably least expecting to perform the best might actually be your biggest unlocks. So as your content bank keeps growing, yes, have some preferences on where you want to start, but don't ignore the other ideas. We have this great ability to make content for a long period of time now.
Let's use it and start to explore some ideas too that might challenge us in different ways. Now that you've completed this final step, you have done the entire workflow. So we have gone from the very beginning where we thought we have nothing to post about.
Then we had found something worth noticing. We formed specific ideas. Then we figured out our angles and we chose to ask ourselves those questions.
around the categories. Then we started building our content bank in a centralized location. What I want you to take out of this experience is this one fundamental truth.
Your life is not boring, no matter how much you think that's the case. You are living an incredibly beautiful life that already has meaning. You're just now starting to read it.
If for so long you've been subduing your inner voice, subduing this inner dialogue of yours, or maybe you've been told to be quiet anytime that you had stood up for yourself or tried to raise your hand in a classroom that you weren't picked on or someone called you dumb for doing so. What happens is that for so long, you don't realize that there's so many layers to you and you muddy that experience.
But the more you can peel back it, I think the more you connect to your real inner voice. The thing that you need to bring out to the world is what I think content is all about. Content is just a vehicle for self -improvement.
And I've always said this, personal branding is the greatest personal development journey that I've ever been a part of. And this type of experience is a part of that. More self -awareness, more introspection is a great thing.
You're going to find meaning in your regular experiences and now you're going to serve other people. You're going to make an impact on them too. Ladies and gents, now you never have to run out of ideas again.
