The curriculum
Six modules, one working calendar
The course moves from diagnosis to workflow design, then into batching, topic selection, gap handling and maintenance. Each module includes short lessons and a worksheet you apply to your own calendar as you go.
Format and pace
The course is self-paced and organized into six modules, each split into short video and text lessons. Lessons run roughly fifteen to thirty minutes. Worksheets accompany most modules so the concepts get applied directly to a real calendar instead of staying theoretical.
Access does not expire, which matters given the subject: a course about handling interruptions should not itself be interrupted by a deadline.
Full breakdown
Module by module
Before building anything new, this module looks at where a previous calendar attempt stalled. You will map your own history with content planning and identify the specific point where things usually stop, whether that is topic selection, review, or simply finding time to publish.
- A short history of your own calendar attempts
- Naming the point of failure honestly
- Separating workflow problems from motivation problems
- Worksheet: your calendar failure map
This module builds a workflow map from idea to publish, with clear stages and, for teams, clear ownership at each stage. The goal is a process short enough to remember and specific enough to follow without checking a manual.
- Defining your stages: idea, draft, review, schedule, publish
- Assigning ownership for teams of any size
- Setting realistic timing between stages
- Worksheet: your one-page workflow map
Covers how to group similar tasks, such as writing several drafts in one sitting or recording several videos back to back, without creating sessions so long they get postponed. Includes guidance on sizing batches to available time blocks.
- What batching solves and what it does not
- Sizing a batch to your actual schedule
- Batching for teams with shared production steps
- Worksheet: your batching calendar
Builds a topic bank sorted by effort, format and purpose, so choosing what to publish next is a lookup rather than a fresh decision every time. Also covers how to keep the bank filled without turning idea collection into another abandoned habit.
- Sorting ideas by effort and format
- Building a topic bank from existing material
- Keeping the bank filled with a light weekly habit
- Worksheet: your starter topic bank
Sets rules for missed days and missed weeks: when to reschedule, when to skip a planned piece entirely, and when to shorten the plan rather than force a catch-up sprint. This module is covered in more depth on our dedicated Gap Recovery page.
- Planned interruptions versus unplanned disruptions
- The reschedule, skip or shorten decision
- Re-entry: your first post back after a gap
- Worksheet: your written gap protocol
The closing module sets a short recurring review, typically monthly, to check whether the workflow, batch size and topic bank still match reality. The calendar is treated as something that gets adjusted on a schedule, not left to drift until it breaks again.
- Setting a monthly fifteen-minute review
- Questions to ask at each review
- Adjusting workflow and batch size over time
- Worksheet: your review checklist
Who tends to take this course
Enrollment includes solo creators managing a personal calendar, marketing coordinators handling a shared team calendar, and small business owners who write their own content between other responsibilities. The lessons apply the same underlying systems, adjusted for whether one person or several people share the work.
