Prysm Note for content calendars
Content work has two separate queues, ideas and scheduled pieces, and mixing them is why calendars fill with things that were never written. Keeping the backlog separate from the dated plan fixes most of it.
What matters here
- An idea backlog with no dates
- Dated tasks for each piece
- A recurring planning slot
- A checklist per channel
- A simple status instead of many stages
Ideas first
Keep every idea in an undated backlog. When planning, pull a few into dates rather than filling the calendar with everything you have ever thought of.
One task per piece
A piece of content has a draft, an edit and a publish. Three subtasks under one parent keeps the calendar readable while the work stays visible.
The weekly slot
A recurring task to plan next week, thirty minutes, is the whole maintenance. Without it the calendar becomes a record of what you meant to do.
