Does daily posting on social media really matter?
When I tried to post every day, I burned out, got bored, or forgot altogether. Over time I've found consistent does not have to mean daily...
What helped wasn’t more discipline, it was reducing friction. Using tools like schedulers, prepping seasonal posts ahead of time, and leaning into formats I could repeat without overthinking. The more I leaned into my brand and my tools the easier it became to identify content and get it online.
I'm still no where close to where I want to be... Some of what I post now is messy; sewing time-lapses, a toddler in a gnome hat, cluttered craft rooms, stretched out pajamas that I wore through two pregnancies. I’m a little embarrassed by it, but it’s real, and showing up is what is going to give me the means to fix those things.
That’s been my experience. It's never perfect, hardly polished, and only gets good after building the foundation even if that means messy buns, and old maternity clothes for all the world to see...
