## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Using every source in this notebook, which is all my own writing, help me plan new content. First, list my 7 biggest recurring themes and the 3 pieces that explain each one best. Then find 5 ideas I've mentioned only once or twice that deserve a full post. Next, show me 3 places where I've changed my mind or said things that seem to contradict each other, quoting both. Finally, suggest 10 new post titles for [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT, e.g. first-time managers] that build on my strongest themes, each with the source it comes from. Don't invent opinions I haven't written.
```

## Step by step

1. Export your posts, newsletters or course docs as PDFs or Google Docs.
2. Add them as sources in one Gemini Notebook and click Mind Map.
3. Click around the branches, then paste the prompt to turn the gaps into post ideas.

## What you'll get

A clickable map of your themes plus a list of underused ideas, contradictions to address and ten new post titles tied to your own work.
