* You might think - should I use a plural; remember - no one can see this except you.  Little "deviations from the standard" give it character.

* I should use Vacation Planning as the example.  From a bulleted list to Headings and multiple lists, to multiple pages
** First list
*** Vacation Planning Checklist
*** Sample Trip Plan
*** Upcoming Trips
*** Journals From Past Trips
*** Vacation Photography
** Then the single outline grows and is divided by headers - I use the rule an outline can be max of one page length.  I never want to have to scroll through an outline.  If it can't fit on one page, then segment it by headers or into multiple pages.  And like most rules, I have allowed exceptions from time to time... but no one will ever see this but me, so I can break my own rules whenever I want.
** Guideline:
*** Don't make a header for just one bulleted list
*** Every bulleted list should have a paragraph above it describing the scope of the list - it could be one short, but complete sentence.
*** Every item in a bulleted list should use consistent sentence structure and punctuation
*** Make them MESE
*** If an item in the list "feels like it doesn't belong", it probably doesn't - make a new list or write a paragraph about it.
*** I wonder if we can integrate with Grammarly so that "Scratch Notes" get limited spell check
* Show my browser with 5 different tabs open of different wiki pages (at least two being edited), three ChatGPT sessions
* After using it for a few years, I now find myself much more likely to create a new page instead of a new header on an existing page.  If I have enough to write about it to necessitate a header, then it won't be too long before it will need its own page.  And you do have to manually create all of the inter-page links, and that can be a bit tedious, but with each one I create, I feel a sense of accomplishment because I know each new link will help me navigate my web more easily.
* In the video, choose an example page, click history and look at the edits.  Review my pages with the most edits.  Show a screenshot from history of a page on this date and next and next and flip throught them 1 second each in the video.
