That’s the most straight-forward. There’s an article you like. You go over there and leave enlights on the blurbs that resonated with you the most.

You share your thoughts. You connect it to other pieces you enjoyed. You joke. You criticise. You put in perspective. You name it.

Then, you can ping your audience and tell them you’ve left a few enlights for them to read on that page.

You’ve written a blog article, shared it with your audience, concluded by:

“By the way, left you a few enlights with stuff i couldn’t write in the article. Check it out.”

And you will have indeed enlighted your own content, with digressions, anecdotes, and stuff that you really couldn’t say in the main piece. They were a little too “out-there”.

But still, they say a lot about who you are and how you think. They’re a chance to connect even more meaningfully with your readers.

As soon as you’ve enlighted a piece of content, you have de facto curated it. It was worth your time and effort (so much so, that you took time to write on top of it).

Thanks to the Notion sync feature, you could simply share (a part of) your synced database with your audience, as a curated list of pieces of content found online.

Hell, it’s what i did with the template i suggested you duplicate.

Still thanks to the Notion sync feature, you can easily reuse the annotations of your enlights in Notion.

If you have Notion AI, you can even ask it to surface patterns, themes, give you new content ideas, give you an outline.

It’s all in Notion, ready to be repurposed.
