Planning notes

- Batch your writing: one 90-minute session can produce two weeks of posts.
- Repurpose relentlessly. One idea becomes a written post, a short video, and a carousel.
- Reply to every comment for the first hour after posting. Distribution follows conversation.
- Track which of the five post types performs best, and shift your ratio toward it.
