Itโs so easy to feel like a hamster in the never-ending social media newsfeed, never feeling like you are ahead. And frankly, some of that may just come with the territory. However, after years of burnout and trial and error, I have developed a fairly concise system to help safeguard my mental health while creating content.

It can be easy to sit down to research content, and then end up mindlessly doom-scrolling hours later, obviously negative for our fragile mental health. To prevent this from happening, I limit this stage and set an amount of time that I will use to brainstorm.

If you donโt plan time for content creation, the chances of it turning into fruition are low. I schedule recurring time on my calendar for content creation, ensuring I have time to spend on social media each month. Itโs much easier to make time in a month to create content than to be anxiously scrambling every day to create content.

Itโs essential to be specific with your goal, but realistic about your expectations. I find that we often put pressure on ourselves to have a certain number of followers, or make a post go โviral.โ When a success could mean gaining a relatively small audience, but just attracting the right people.

The backbone of an effective social is most often a solid organizational process. Although there are a variety of different ways to keep everything together, I recommend simplifying your process with one app or tool. I utilize Google Sheets and Docs to help organize my content for the month, but Notion or ClickUp are also useful tools for content organization.
