Welcome to the 32nd Episode of the Ark Digest™️.

Every week, I share the unfiltered reality of building Noah's Ark, the wins, the struggles, and the insights that emerge when building a profitable and purposeful creator business.

Inside each Digest, you'll see:

↱ Real progress updates on my current projects

↱ Raw thoughts and breakthrough moments

↱ Weekly inspiration fueling my journey

↱ Lessons you can steal for your own path

↱ Data from tracking my habits and productivity

Think of this as a direct line into my mind as I build my dream creator business, so you get inspired and motivated to progress on your own journey.

Let's begin:

🐺 Current Tasks & Projects

1) Noah's Ark:

1) From PARA folders to Obsidian Bases

The main project I've been working on this week is a complete redesign of my Obsidian vault architecture.
Basically rethinking the entire folder structure and how I navigate inside Obsidian, using Bases.

Obsidian recently implemented Bases, which are essentially databases built directly inside the app.
They're extremely fast, extremely efficient, and you can create dynamic views, link between them, and build a very powerful navigation layer.

The problem with PARA, the system I was using until now, is that the more you use it, the more folders accumulate.
You end up navigating through folders, subfolders, and more subfolders.
In a tool like Obsidian, where you can navigate with wikilinks, graph view, and quickly find connections between notes, that kind of hierarchical navigation is genuinely inefficient.

The idea is to replace folders with Bases.
When you need to find something, you open the corresponding Base, pick the right view, and it's right there.
A project Base, for example, would have one view for ongoing projects, one for archived projects, one for future projects.

I've already started the migration, and it's clearly more efficient.
I've been learning a lot: watching videos, reading, and also discussing this with a friend and mentor of mine, an entrepreneur on the French market who's working on his own version of this system.
The goal is something ultra simple, ultra intuitive, and ultra efficient: getting the maximum out of Obsidian's features without adding unnecessary complexity.

Once the final architecture is solid, I plan to present it on YouTube and integrate it into the course I'm building in parallel.
The idea is that you'll have a complete, plug & play system: easy to implement and powerful to use in your own vault.

2) Content is exploding

Right now, content growth is something I've honestly never experienced before.
Whether on YouTube or on Twitter, the results are unlike anything I've seen in years of content creation.
New subscribers are joining the list at a rate I've never seen before.
And btw, welcome to all the new people reading this.

Having concrete market feedback showing there's genuine interest in what I produce is incredibly motivating.
The more systems I build, the more content I create, and it feeds itself.

3) The creator trap: metrics vs. intellectual curiosity

The challenge now is not falling into dependency on these numbers.
The trap I see is getting boxed in under the label of "Obsidian and Claude Code guy" and preventing myself from creating content on other topics I'm genuinely curious about.
(And it's great to be known for one thing, don't get me wrong, but I don't want to feel obligated to always sticking to this one subject in my content, if I want to write or record videos about idk, spirituality, mindset, philosophy or anything I want to still feel free to do so)

As a creator, I know it's important to balance what serves the market with what serves your own intellectual curiosity.
Even if something performs less on social media, it still brings value to the people who follow you and are genuinely engaged with your work.
And for you as a creator, it's what keeps the flame alive and makes you feel in control of your business rather than a slave to stats.

4) 2 coaching spots still open

Quick note: There are still 2 individual coaching spots open at Noah's Ark for March.
I mainly work on these 3 verticals:

• Implementing second brain systems, AI workflows, and Claude Code to transform how you work and build your business...

• Building & growing your creator business from scratch (positioning, content strategy, offer definition, marketing)...

• Implementing personal growth systems like Zettelkasten, GTD, and OKRs to build a life that's aligned, meaningful, and harmonious...

If you want personalized help directly from me on these 3 verticals with 24/7 support and weekly coaching calls...
Just reply "1:1" to this email, and I'll send you the details.
(The coaching program and duration are entirely personalized and crafted depending on your goals, unique situations, values, and lifestyle)

2) Personal Update

This week was different from my usual routine: I spent the week in Bordeaux with friends.
It was my birthday last week ...
(I'm 25 already, I'm now officially an "unc"...)
So I went up for the weekend and stayed a few extra days to spend time with my people and enjoy the change of pace.
That kind of break is always welcome.
It was genuinely great.

3) This Week's Focus

This week the focus is simple: finalize the new vault architecture, ideally wrap it up completely.
In parallel, continue advancing on the course scripts.
And of course, hold the weekly content rhythm: daily email, three Twitter and Substack notes per day, weekly YouTube video.
If we hold this rhythm, the number of new people discovering the Ark week after week is going to be incredible over the coming weeks and months.
