onto today’s topic: how i can simplify my life 🧭

a huge chunk of my to-do items are complicated for no reason.

i’m getting really into content creation lately, and it’s inching its way higher on my priority list. unknowingly, i established a process that is overcomplicated.

i post on different socials, do it all manually and film daily. my brain is scattered in so many ways. but, it works. my audiences on each platform that i’m posting on have increased significantly over the past month.

the difference is that certain platforms are more optimized to hit my personal goals with content creation: high reach & opportunities for monetization. 📈

i think exploring each platform has definitely been a valuable learning experience, but it’s time for me to prioritize and focus on 1 strategy/avenue. once a regular content creation process has been established there, i can then start using other platforms to promote my “main,” instead of thinking of new ideas for each new site.

tiktok and this newsletter, introspection ft. harsehaj, are shaping to be the most promising and enjoyable for me. my newsletter workflow is already pretty simple and straight forward, so there isn’t a huge change i need to make on that end.

tiktok on the other hand, needs a lot of revamping. currently, my daily goal is to think of a new video idea, film it, edit it and post it all in the same day. it’s a fast turnaround and i sacrifice the quality of my content just for the sake of getting something out.

it would probably be a lot more efficient and simple if i just start content batching. i’ll dedicate one day to content creation and section this time into 3 parts:

1) go crazy with brainstorming at least 7 content ideas
2) put these ideas into a posting schedule for the week
3) film all of the pending content & schedule to post 📌

this way, i’m pretty much free for the rest of the week instead of kicking my brain back into content creation mode every single day.

i’m going to give this strategy a whirl for september, and i’ll let you know how it goes! here’s to simplifying life. 🥂
