How to plan a week of content
Put the whole week on one calendar so the gaps are visible before they happen.
Most missed weeks are not a motivation problem. They are a visibility problem: nobody can see the gap until it has already passed. Planning the week on one calendar turns publishing from a daily act of willpower into a plan you can look at.
Steps
- 01Open the Calendar to see the week across every channel at once.
- 02Pick the developed angles from Ideas that deserve a slot, then choose the days where they belong.
- 03Draft each post in the composer and set its destinations and time.
- 04Scan the week for pile-ups and gaps, then move posts until the rhythm is one you can actually keep.
Worth knowing
- Connect Google Calendar to overlay your real schedule, so you plan against the week you have rather than the week you imagine.
- Gaps and pile-ups are easiest to fix before the week starts. A quick scan of the calendar on planning day beats rescheduling midweek.
Where this happens
Questions
Do I have to plan a whole week at a time?
No. The calendar works the same for one post or twenty. Planning in batches just tends to make consistency easier.
Can I see my meetings beside my content plan?
Yes, if you connect Google Calendar. The calendars you select appear as read-only context on the Calendar.
What if I need to move a post?
Reschedule it from the calendar. Nothing is locked in until it publishes.
