Here's something that took me way too long to figure out.

The hardest part of content is the deciding

The hardest part of content isn't the filming or the writing. It's the deciding. It's sitting down every week to that same blank page and asking yourself what do I even make this time.

That part is exhausting, and it has nothing to do with how hard the actual work is.

Give your content a job instead of a topic

So here's what changed it for me. I stopped giving my videos a topic and started giving them a job.

I post twice a week, and each one has its own job that never changes.

My Wednesday video's job is to be found - it's a tutorial that answers something people are already typing into YouTube.

My Sunday video's job is to connect - it starts with a real problem my people are dealing with, the kind of thing that makes them go oh, she gets it.

The topic changes every week. The job never does.

Why this makes content so much lighter

And that's the whole trick, because now I'm not deciding what to make from scratch. That big heavy decision is already answered. I'm just filling in the blank - which tutorial this week, which problem this week. Way smaller question.

You don't need my schedule for this to work

You can do this with two slots or one. The point isn't my schedule, it's that when each piece of content has a job, you stop facing a blank page and start facing a shape you just fill in.

Try it with your next few pieces and see how much lighter it feels.
