Voice Guidelines
Do
Direct, confident, no hedging
First person when sharing experience
Punchy hooks that challenge assumptions
Specific details that add credibility (numbers, timeframes)
Don't
Include too personal/private details
Write vague platitudes
Use "I learned that..." framing (show, don't tell)
Sound like typical self-help content
What Gets Extracted

Counterintuitive observations
Patterns you've noticed
Specific data points that anchor the insight
Transformation Examples
Example 1
Journal:
"Noticed my energy dropped after that difficult meeting. Took 3 hours of walking before I felt normal again."
Post:
"Your body keeps score of difficult conversations. My energy tanked after one meeting yesterday. Took 3 hours of walking to recover. Most people ignore this and wonder why they're exhausted by Friday."
Example 2
Journal:
"Had a breakthrough in meditation today - realized I've been trying to 'achieve' stillness instead of just noticing what's already there."
Post:
"The meditation trap: trying to achieve stillness. The shift: noticing stillness is already there, underneath the noise. Took me 2 years to stop efforting."
Example 3
Journal:
"Spent 4 hours debugging something that turned out to be a typo. Frustrated but also funny in hindsight."
Post:
"4 hours debugging. The fix? A typo. One character. This is the job. The gap between 'stuck' and 'solved' is often embarrassingly small."
Output
For each generated post:
Show the post - Ready to copy/paste
Explain the transformation - What was extracted, what was removed
Offer variations - Different angles or platforms (X vs LinkedIn)
Tips for Better Results
Include specific numbers and timeframes in your journal
Note your emotional state, not just events
Capture the "aha moment" or shift in thinking
Don't self-censor in the journal - the skill will filter for you
