🧠 AI Secrets - The Day I Realized My Notes App Was a Graveyard—
AI becomes massively more valuable when you learn how to ask the right questions.
— And How I Resurrected Ideas with Prompting Power
I had a moment…
Scrolling through my Notes app — idea after idea, headline after headline, half a script here, maybe a killer hook there…
And then it hit me: This wasn’t a Notes app. It was a digital cemetery.
Each entry?
A half-buried dream.
A brilliant spark I swore I’d come back to.
A one-liner I thought might go viral.
A half-done project that could’ve fed me for a year.
None of them ever made it.
And I realized it wasn’t because they weren’t good.
It was because I had no system to bring them back to life.
Until I found the resurrection tool:
🧠 Prompting Power.
Here’s the Strategy: Prompt-Led Idea Resurrection
Start With the Bones.
Pick any old note. Doesn’t matter how random, vague, or incomplete. That’s your “skeleton.”Feed It to the AI.
Use a prompt like:
“Take this rough idea and expand it into a [social post / blog intro / video script]. Make it punchy, and add a CTA.”
Let AI Ask the Right Questions.
Prompt the prompt:
“What are 5 ways to make this idea more relevant to [my audience]?”
“What’s the emotional hook hiding in this idea?”
Breathe Life Into the Core.
Prompt:
“Turn this forgotten idea into a fresh offer / lead magnet / newsletter issue.”
Bonus Prompt 💡
“Here's a random idea I jotted down. I think it has potential, but I’m stuck. Help me explore different ways to turn this into something my audience would value, engage with, or even buy.”
The truth is:
Your notes aren’t trash.
They’re seeds.
You just stopped watering them.
Let prompting be your shovel, your water, your sunlight.
There’s gold buried in that graveyard.
You just need to dig smarter.
