If youāre in a busy season of life, or youāre trying to create content consistently again, or want to organically batch content, this episode is for you. Iām sharing how Iām embracing the āeverything is contentā mindset.
Tip 1: Schedule one content day a month (or every other week or once a week) whatever works for your schedule, put it on the calendar.
The biggest reason I say to schedule it is so you can plan around that day. If youāre a new parent like me, you can plan for childcare. I used to go to grad school, work full-time, and schedule photoshoots on the weekends. So planning content days on weekends was critical for me to continue to create content.
