How I Plan 30 Days Of Content In One Afternoon

Use my step-by-step batching and repurposing system to plan a month of content in hours, not weeks. Includes templates, workflow, and checklist.

The truth about batching

I have run content for multiple brands at once. If I did not batch, I burned out. The goal is not to make perfect posts. The goal is to make clear decisions in the right order.

Step 1: Pick one anchor topic per week

Choose four topics that tie to your offer. Example for a creator coach:

• Week 1: Positioning
• Week 2: Content planning
• Week 3: Pitching
• Week 4: Offers

These topics feed every platform for the month.

Step 2: Create one long piece first

Film a YouTube video or write a blog post for each weekly topic. I prefer YouTube because I can pull clips, captions, and quotes from one recording. Keep each outline the same:

• Hook
• Three lessons
• One example
• One action step
• CTA

Step 3: Repurpose with a fixed menu

From each long piece create:

• 2 short clips
• 1 carousel
• 1 story mini training
• 1 newsletter section
• 1 LinkedIn or Threads post

Use consistent templates in Canva to move fast. I reuse the same fonts, layouts, and cover styles so the work is writing, not design.

Step 4: Batch by task

I do ideas in one sitting, outlines in one sitting, filming in one sitting, and scheduling in one sitting. Context switching kills creative energy. Protect your focus.

Step 5: Schedule the week in one hour

I schedule on Friday for the next week. I add UTM links to anything that leads to a funnel. I block 15 minutes per day for replies. That is it.

My real workflow with a client last quarter

We filmed four YouTube videos in one afternoon. I clipped eight Shorts, wrote four newsletters, and built four carousels. We posted three times a week and shared one story training per week. Results in 90 days: email list up 42 percent, two sold out intensives, and a calm content routine.

Your checklist

• Choose four weekly anchor topics
• Outline four long pieces
• Record or write one afternoon
• Repurpose with a fixed menu
• Schedule every Friday

Consistency is a system, not a personality trait. Build the system once and let it carry you.
