My First Month of Content Creation: Digital Products and AI Tools

I never thought I would write monthly reports in my free time. But this time is different because I'm writing about my projects, and it's a way to track my growth and share what I've been doing.

The first month of building myself online was full of learning, experimenting, and starting projects that interested me.

Printable Password Keeper

Here's an easy digital product that I would use. I've always had my login information written on scraps of paper lying around, so I designed a printable password keeper.
A snippet of my password keeper.

It's still a draft. I don't have a printer nearby, so I sent it to family to try, but I didn't set a deadline for feedback... so I might let this fade into the background for now. 

If I clean it up, I might offer it as a freebie download, though I'm not sure it's worth the time since digital managers are more common.

Bumper Stickers

This was my favorite project! My new path in life has given me a reason to be creative and artistic again since I now have a goal attached to it. 

I decided to design a bumper sticker for myself and others who dislike car dependency.

My first bumper sticker design in Canva.
I recreated my design in Inkscape for more flexibility and to feel more my own.
The bumper sticker in different stages.
I started a second bumper sticker, still keeping with the transportation theme.
Preliminary train car design for my other sticker.
Both are still drafts, but I ordered a sample of the car sticker through Printify and will revise it.

AI Tools

In Relevance.ai, I built small AI tools to expedite content creation.

My tools in Relevance.ai.
The tools don't do a lot yet, but they help with idea generation and organization.
Blog thought organizer purpose.
Blog thought organizer input.
I say the purpose of the blog thought organizer is to make a blog article draft, but it really just summarizes my notes and suggests titles.
My blog thought organizer prompt.

The prompt is good enough for now.

Verification Email Deletion Workflow

My inbox has been flooded with verification emails from creating new accounts. 
I want to spend less time organizing my emails, so my personal project in n8n is to make a workflow that removes expired verification emails for me.
Incomplete "Trash Those Verification Emails" workflow.

What will my first workflow do?
  1. Automatically delete a verification email 10 minutes after I open and read the email.
  2. Send me a report of which emails were deleted in a day.
This was the most challenging project this month, but it will help control clutter when it's done.

Closing

And that's month one. Here is the plan for September:
  • Post a blog post each week
  • Sell my first bumper sticker
  • Make my first YouTube video
  • Complete my first n8n workflow
  • Just keep learning
How did I do?

What interests you?

Also, I'll take suggestions for making more visually pleasing posts in Blogger.

A Life Worth Living: Taking Action

Opportunities pass you by left and right. You wonder what your life would look like if you had acted sooner. You regret so much of your life not lived . You feel like a failure. You feel like death is the only cure. But you've had enough . You want to move, but you're stuck . You know what you don't want in life .  You have a vision of the life you do . But you don't know where to start. "Am I too old?" "Is it too late?" "Is it worth it?" "Am I worth it?" You wonder how you've made it this far. You don't want to feel sad anymore. You want a different life or no life at all... "Just be happy." You wonder why you were given this life. You see everyone else moving ahead, but you're living each day on repeat. "Why was I born?" You wish you never existed. You don't know why your family says they're proud of you.  You haven't done anything with your life, just the same thing as everyone else....

My Third Month of Content Creation: Documenting My AI Project

It's been two months since my last progress report. Here's what I have for September and October of 2025. I'm still trying to take a picture of my face every day to keep myself accountable. I'm not sure what I'll eventually do with those photos. Maybe one of those "I took a picture of myself every day for my first year of content creation" videos. September (Weeks 5-9) In September, I divided my energy over learning AI automation, starting my Etsy store, writing an ebook, creating my first n8n workflow, publishing my first YouTube video, and finding a niche AI automation project. In my free time, I worked on songs on onlinesequencer.net, where my username is also Thoughtra. I received a sample of my "End Car Dependency" bumper sticker I made in Printify. I listed the sticker on Etsy and decided to make revisions to the design. I named my Etsy store "TrafficCalmingCo." My Etsy store banner. I then made a "Paint isn't Infrastruct...
