(How I leverage my Second Brain with Smart Connections-AI to get inspired for my posts)

Ever struggled to express your thoughts or find inspiration for your post? I was in the same boat until I discovered the power of combining AI with my Second Brain in Obsidian. 🧠💡

✪ I’ve been working with the Obsidian plugin Smart Connections by Brian Petro. This tool allows me to collaborate with various AI LLMs directly on my local notes in Obsidian. The result? A treasure trove of insights and ideas and a new level of serendipity. 🙌

✪ To kick things off, I used my list of 12 running problems as the context for Smart Connections. (Curious about what they are? I’ve linked them in the comments! 🔗)

📝 Prompt in Smart Connections: What are my main topics I would like to focus on based on my notes [My running list of 12 favorite problems]

✪ Next, I asked for content inspiration based on my main topics of interest. What I got in return was a list of 50 fascinating topics for future posts. Talk about a gold mine of inspiration! 🌟

📝Prompt: Based on the overview of topics I’m dedicating my time for I’m sharing next with you, please based on all my notes, what would you suggest as short form articles I could create. I would like you to derive 50 article headlines and a rough article skeloton.

Here is a an overview on my topics:
…list of topics…

✪ Let’s take a closer look at one of these topics: “Automate Your Life: Freeing Time for What Matters Most”. I asked for specific ideas based on my notes, and the AI delivered. The result was my previous post, fueled by insights discovered through Smart Connections - https://lnkd.in/eYQ7VP6a. 🚀

I’ve become a supporter of Smart Connections! This means I can now work directly with a GPT on my notes. I can’t wait to share more about my experiences with this fantastic extension. Stay tuned! 🎉

Now to zoom in on a topic I drilled down via: Based on my notes - What could I write about “Automate Your Life: Freeing Time for What Matters Most”. Please also provide a note reference like title or link for each note you suggest something from.

And this provided me great input for my previous post. Based on that input and fine-tuning my thoughts I got inspired for the post and was able to leverage my Second Brain with discoveries that were made through creating Smart Connections.

BTW. I today also became a support for Smart Connections and will be able to work with a GPT directly on my notes. I’ll provide updates soon on my experiences with this great extension.
