Become a consistent Content Factory

If you’re looking to produce a consistent stream of content, whether a post a week or three pieces a week as I do, you might wonder how to manage it all without relying on shortcuts like AI. The answer lies in a powerful productivity technique called time boxing.

Time Boxing is a Game Changer

Time boxing is the practice of dedicating specific blocks of time in your calendar to focus on similar tasks or projects. For me, it’s a game changer. Creating content takes focus and flow, and it’s far more efficient to batch multiple pieces in one sitting than to approach it piecemeal. When I time box, I block out uninterrupted time to get into the zone and tackle multiple tasks in a single session. Whether it’s writing newsletters, scripting podcasts, or recording videos, everything is set up and ready to go so I can maintain momentum.

Take newsletters, for example. Writing one newsletter might feel like a daunting task if you’re rushing at the last minute, but writing three newsletters in a focused three-hour session? That’s entirely achievable. It’s all about leveraging your creative peak times. Trying to create content at the end of a long week on a Friday evening is unproductive and frustrating. Instead, reserve time when your creativity is at its highest and block it off on your calendar.

Not every week will be perfect, but the consistency of time boxing ensures that you’re prepared to produce multiple pieces of content, even during busy periods or have enough in stock to focus on urgent tasks without missing your upload slots. And it doesn’t have to be all work and no fun. One of my most-read articles was written while I was sitting in a Swedish pub, beer in hand. Inspiration is everywhere; the key is to schedule time to channel it effectively.

Time boxing gives you the structure to turn ideas into reality, batch your work for efficiency, and avoid the stress of last-minute content creation. It’s a method that not only works but also helps maintain the quality and authenticity of your output.
