Welcome

This vault separates thinking from shipping. Use it when one blog post spans a week of research and three outline passes.

Suggested flow

1. Capture — Inbox or drafts/ with status: draft.
2. Support — Pull quotes and data into research/; link back to the draft’s working title.
3. Structure — Break chapters and long posts in outlines/ before you polish prose.
4. Ship — Move or duplicate the canonical version to published/ and record URL + metrics.

Naming

• Drafts: drafts/<slug>.md
• Published: published/YYYY-MM-<slug>.md (adjust to your archive style)

Quality bar

One clear thesis per piece, one primary CTA, and a style check against style-guide/voice-and-tone.md before you schedule.

Archive this note when the habit feels automatic.
