What's the best way to plan my content?

Published on: 12th September, 2022

"What's the best way to plan your content - how far in advance? The reason I ask is I tend to map out a content plan in advance for the month ahead, but then week to week when I get to it sometimes I've changed my mind, or I'm in a different headspace and feel I'm constantly changing my mind, rather than sticking to the plan!"

Jen submitted this question, which was definitely harder to answer than I expected! There's much more mindset work involved than you may expect, and there's no quick answer to the 'best' way to plan. But, I hope you find this helpful because it feels like content planning is a big hurdle we all face – and it's something that might bring up a lot of comparison with others who seem more organised than you.

Michelle Gately

Hi, I'm Michelle! I'm an Aussie living in the UK, working as a bookseller at Waterstones. I'm obsessed with storytelling in all its forms – I spend as much time watching TV or listening to podcasts as I do reading. Other hobbies include bouldering, hiking and generally obsessing about my pug Percy.
