🎯How I Plan My Week as a Solo Content Creator
Running a blog, creating content, managing social media, and researching ideas — being a solo content creator means wearing a lot of hats.
Without a clear plan, things fall apart quickly. That’s why I follow a simple weekly system that keeps me focused and productive without burning out.
📅 My Weekly Planning Routine
I plan every Sunday evening. It takes about 30 minutes, but it saves me hours during the week.
- Step 1: Review last week – what worked, what didn’t?
- Step 2: Set 1–3 weekly goals (e.g., finish 2 blog posts, schedule 4 tweets)
- Step 3: Block time in my calendar for focused work
🧱 My Weekly Structure
Here’s what a typical week looks like for me:
| Day | Main Focus |
|---|---|
| Monday | Planning, outlining content, keyword research |
| Tuesday | Writing blog content (deep work) |
| Wednesday | Social media scheduling, email list tasks |
| Thursday | Second blog post or editing |
| Friday | Backlinks, updating old content, wrap-up |
| Saturday | Light work or brainstorming ideas |
| Sunday | Full rest or 30 min weekly review |
🔄 My Key Rules
- I don’t plan more than 3 big tasks per day
- I take short breaks every 90 minutes
- I stop working by 7 PM — no matter what
🧭 Tools I Use (All Free)

🌿 Final Thoughts
You don’t need a fancy setup. Just a routine that helps you show up consistently without stress.
Try this structure, tweak it to your own life, and stay kind to yourself. Consistency wins every time.
