+## 🧠 Part 1: Clarifying the Structure of Your Work
+
+Let’s reframe how you **mentally organize** your work first. Instead of rigid sprints or freeform brainstorming, use these flexible **layers**:
+
+### 1. **Projects**
+
+Your top-level initiatives. Examples:
+
+* “Notion Template Storefront”
+* “AI Prompt Pack for Writers”
+* “Home Automation Blueprint eBook”
+
+They have a clear end-point.
+
+---
+
+### 2. **Phases** (Milestones / Epics)
+
+Break each project into **phases or themes** like:
+
+* Planning / Research
+* Creation / Writing / Design
+* Development / Packaging
+* Testing / Proofing
+* Launch / Publish / Market
+* Post-launch Maintenance
+
+Each phase can span **multiple tasks** and even involve **CI/CD** if needed.
+
+---
+
+### 3. **Work Units (Tasks)**
+
+Actual pieces of work with:
+
+* Time estimate
+* Deadline
+* Priority tag (P1: Urgent, P2: Upcoming, etc.)
+* Optional dependencies or blockers
+
+Examples:
+
+* Write landing page copy
+* Design product logo
+* Publish blog post announcing product
+* Test checkout flow on mobile
+
+---
+
+### 4. **Workflows (Optional)**
+
+For repeatable patterns, like:
+
+* CI for product builds
+* Website publishing with Git
+* Template syncing to marketplaces
+
+These could be linked to automation but are mostly **background context** unless you're actively working on them.
+
+---
+
+## 📅 Part 2: Visualizing the Process
+
+You need visibility in a **dual-layered way**:
+
+### ✅ Focus View
+
+* What am I doing this week?
+* What’s due soon?
+* What’s blocked?
+
+### 📈 Timeline View
+
+* What’s the big picture?
+* When does this product hit launch?
+* Can we overlap writing from Project A while finishing marketing for Project B?
+
+This is where **Gantt charts + calendar + task board** together become powerful.
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Part 3: Better Tools for This Need
+
+Since you want:
+
+* **Calendar + Gantt + Boards**
+* Visual flow
+* Lightweight
+* Self-hosted
+
+You might want to seriously consider:
+
+### ⚙️ **[OpenProject](https://www.openproject.org/)** (best fit)
+
+* Full **Gantt**, Calendar, Task board, and Work Package view
+* Sprint/backlog support (Agile module)
+* Milestones and dependencies
+* Built-in time tracking, priorities, statuses
+* Markdown support, discussions per task
+* Visual and clean despite being powerful
+* Active community and **Docker support**
+
+---
+
+## 🧭 Part 4: Planning Toward Product Delivery
+
+You’re trying to juggle:
+
+* Task clarity
+* Time budgeting
+* Product outcome
+* CI/CD readiness
+
+Here’s a suggested **workflow template**:
+
+### Weekly Sprint Rhythm (for 2-person team)
+
+1. **Monday Planning**:
+
+   * Review calendar
+   * Choose 3–5 tasks each (est. total time \~20h max)
+   * Assign deadlines + priorities
+
+2. **Midweek Sync (or notes if async)**:
+
+   * Check for blockers
+   * Adjust priorities
+
+3. **Friday Review**:
+
+   * What shipped?
+   * What slipped? Why?
+   * What phase are we moving to?
+
+4. **Reflect Monthly**:
+
+   * What products did we finish?
+   * Were any steps missed or bloated?
+   * Is CI/CD helping or is it noise for this product?
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Optional Enhancements
+
+* Use **tags** or **custom fields** to denote:
+
+  * "Ready to Launch"
+  * "Blocked"
+  * "CI: Needed"
+  * "Static Product"
+
+* Use **OpenProject time tracking** or external tools like [Kimai](https://www.kimai.org/) to compare planned vs actual effort — great for long-term improvement.
