You can still get a ton done without touching a screen. This morning, ChatGPT and all of the apps we use to help run our small businesses were down.

Brain-Dump Content Ideas on Paper Grab a notebook and write down: - FAQs customers always ask - Stories you’ve never shared - Wins, lessons, and mistakes - Hooks and headline ideas 2. Map Out Your Next 30 Days of Content Draw a simple layout: - Week 1: Awareness - Week 2: Value - Week 3: Trust - Week 4: Promotion 3. Plan Your Next Offer Upgrade Ask yourself: - What do customers keep struggling with? - Where do clients get stuck? - What could you simplify, package, or add on? 4. Refresh Your Messaging Write out: - Your brand promise - Your values - The transformation you create - The ONE sentence that explains what you do 5. Batch Shoot Quick Content Clips on Your Phone - B-roll of your workspace - You working - You writing - You packaging - Behind-the-scenes moments If the entire internet is having a meltdown, it’s okay to breathe. You’ve probably been “on” for weeks. A tech outage can double as a reset.
