1/5 Main & Subtopics
I estimate the scope of my main topic and explain it in a few sentences. Think of this as writing the intro of a blog post.
Break the main topics into sub-topics. I like to work with 5 to 10 subtopics, they're ideal for Twitter threads later.

2/5 Length
I try to limit the stuff I write to a blog post-sized piece ~1000 - 1500 words.
Usually, I can make 5-8min length videos from the same posts.
Longer or shorter videos might work better for you, but I think this length is a good start.

3/5 Frame
Let's do some estimates!
If you listed 10 subtopics and you write 200 words on each that exceeds your limit of 1000 - 1500 words.
It's great to have topics for multiple posts, but the most important step is to pick the subtopics for the first post and start writing.

4/5 Mistakes
The most common mistake I made is not isolating my first list of subtopics (the first piece of content).
I started writing immediately and when I realized that after a day spent working on this, I wasn't even halfway through I quit and never published.

5/5 Pros
With this method, I can arrange the topics I want to talk about into manageable tasks and can ship things faster.
This also results in a faster feedback loop about my content and I also enjoy it more because simply I post more.
