Drafting Your Content Workflow Iteratively

My current content footprint is narrow by design. The Polymath Career blog is the only active writing track. YouTube and X for Systematic Poker and Polymath Career are deferred to Q3 — too many platforms too early spreads effort without building anything. Temerity Holdings X is active and scheduled through Typefully.

On the publishing side, I run a PowerShell script that syncs my Obsidian vault to the GitHub repos for each site. Quartz converts the markdown to pages and deploys to GitHub Pages. The workflow is: write in Obsidian, run the script, done. I use Claudian for drafting. The whole thing takes a few minutes.

The decisions that got me here — which platforms to cut, which tools to use — weren’t made by planning. They were made by doing the work and hitting friction. I picked Typefully because I tried scheduling tweets manually. I deferred YouTube because I looked at what I actually had capacity for after committing to the blog. Every decision came from contact with the real problem, not from theorizing about it in advance.

The draft workflow is better than no workflow. It changes as I learn more, and that’s the point.
