What's in the file
One row per planned post, Monday to Friday, with columns for date, day, platform, content pillar, topic or hook, status and notes. Pillars rotate so each gets a fair share. Status starts at "Idea": change it to Drafted, Scheduled or Posted as you go.
Content pillars are the three to five themes you want to be known for. Rotating through them keeps your feed varied without having to decide from scratch each day.
