Create is the execution layer. Research might give you fifty ideas; Create is where a small number become scheduled work with outlines, owners, and deadlines. Learn the navigation once so you are not rebuilding mental context every session.
Overview first
Start from the Create overview to see active series and standalone items. Glance at status counts: how many drafts stalled, what is ready for record, what shipped recently. If the overview feels noisy, archive or merge projects.
Series workflow
Open a series to see ordered videos and settings. Use series-level notes for the promise, tone, and recurring segments. Video-level notes should be specific to that episode—do not duplicate the whole bible each time.
Pick the next episode by viewer value, not filming convenience—unless schedule forces otherwise.
Update cross-episode references when you change order.
Link to research briefs by title so collaborators find the same doc.
Standalone workflow
Standalone long or short entries suit experiments, news reactions, or collaborations outside a numbered arc. Still attach presets and rules so AI behaves consistently—you are not exempt from voice control because it is a one-off.
Aligning Create with Research
When a research insight becomes a video, copy the one-line brief into the video’s idea field and note the source channel or video. Later, you can judge whether the insight predicted performance.
Collaboration
In shared workspaces, agree where comments live: app notes, external docs, or task tools. The worst failure mode is two outlines—pick one source of truth.
