Being a creator means you need to generate content at scale.
The fastest way to become prolific is by having these 4 systems in place:
The fastest way to become prolific is by having these 4 systems in place:
1/ Idea Capture
You need a system for capturing new ideas, rough notes, and insights
The more you write the more idea's you'll have. Capture these immediately so you don't forget.
I use Microsoft OneNote.

When you think of ANYTHING - write it down.
This might be a few bullet points or a few paragraphs.
In a short amount of time you'll have pages and pages of ideas and half written essays that makes revising later that much easier.

2/ Writing
In order to be prolific you need to write every day.
The strongest systems are built around a routine.

Wake up each morning ( #5amwritersclub anyone? )., then:
• Make coffee.
• Sit down and write for an hour.
• That's it.
Treat it like it's your job. Pro's don't miss work.

3/ Scheduling
Scheduling takes time and is a great opportunity for automation.
Plan an hour each week to move content into a scheduler.
I use @HypeFury.
It doesn't count until it's published.

A requisite for scheduling is actually having a schedule.
Just starting out?

4/ Engagement
You need to attract attention to your work.
The best way to do this is by engaging with other people.
An automated posting schedule frees you up to engage with people on your list.
