📋 Essential database fields

| Field         | Example                          |
|---------------|----------------------------------|
| Date captured | 2026-03-02                       |
| Leak text     | "Do a video on vintage cameras"  |
| Source        | @photofan (Instagram comment)    |
| Category      | Tutorial / Product / Story       |
| Status        | New / In progress / Done         |
| Content link  | https://youtu.be/...              |
| Credit given? | ✅ / ❌                           |

🏷️ Categorization that scales

Use tags that reflect your content pillars:

  • By format: video, blog, short, product
  • By topic: tech, lifestyle, education
  • By urgency: trending, evergreen, seasonal
  • By source: comment, DM, email, poll

Good tags make filtering instant.

⚡ Weekly leak review ritual

  1. Every Monday, review new leaks (15 min)
  2. Tag and categorize each
  3. Pick top 3 for this week's content
  4. Move "used" leaks to archive with credit status

This turns chaos into a predictable content pipeline.
