In the world of keynote speaking your schedule can get hectic, and the last thing you want to worry about is posting on social media, yet you know it’s important for your digital strategy and business. You're brimming with thought leader ideas, but finding the time to stay organized to post online can be challenging.
But what if I told you there are strategies to help you translate your ideas into posts? It’s all about the art of time management, balancing your creative thought leader ideas but staying efficient so you can get your posts up.
Create in Batches
Think of your posts like pieces. Instead of trying to do everything at once, break it up. Set aside specific days or times for content ideas, writing copy, planning, creating, and scheduling. This way, you can use your time better to be creative and not feel overwhelmed.
Time Blocking Works
Time blocking is a great way to manage your time. It means setting aside certain times for different tasks, based on when you work best. For example, if you're most creative in the morning, use that time for mapping out your content ideas and writing copy. Or if you have more energy in the afternoons, use that time to create content like video content or edit photos. This helps you get more done and stay organized.
Repurpose Past Content
You don't always have to create new posts. Repurposing content should be part of your strategy. Take a past post that performed well and that is still relevant, or use a past blog and turn it into a different content format like a Reel, or a carousel for social media. It saves you time and makes your time more efficient.
Know Your Energy Flow
Everyone has their energy rhythm during the day. Some are at their best in the morning, while others shine at night. Figure out your rhythm and use your peak energy times for creative tasks. Save lower-energy times for simpler work. It'll help you be more efficient and creative.
Define Your Content Pillars
Not all ideas are right for social media content. As a Keynote Speaker, you have lots of ideas, but not all of them are going to be viable for your content. Focus on the ideas that match your main message, topic, and what your audience cares about. List 3-5 content pillars that help you stay focused on what to always and only post about.
Tech Can Help
Use technology to make your creative process smoother. Tools like project management apps, calendars, and content systems keep you on track. Try speech recognition software to capture your thoughts quickly without interrupting your flow. And don’t forget about Chatgpt, it can come in handy when time is limited.
Team Up with Others
You don't have to do everything alone, collaborate with others. Collaborate with other industry-related Keynote Speakers who can help with research or design work for posts. This frees up your time and keeps your focus on being creative and your message.
Achieving a balance between creativity and efficiency is essential for a Keynote Speaker’s social media presence. By adopting these time management techniques, you can put your unique voice to your thought leader ideas without being overwhelmed by time constraints.
